That gearbox is certainly ambitious. If its true in the real world, that would be the key selling point. Taxi driver's dream.

The car is RM20K++ more than the last Sonata 2.0 spec & they recently jack up the price of new Tuscon. Not cheap, since SD having face money drainage for "some reason".

American survey is not applicable here.

This the most recent survey. So 2010 survey is not out yet.



There are 5 different JD Power Survey, which serves different purpose. So you need to look at different perspectives

* Initial Quality
* Vehicle Appeal
* Dependability
* Sales Satisfaction
* Service Satisfaction

Actually the statistic that you need to look at is Sales Satisfaction & Service Satisfaction to determine the quality of the dealer & service centres, see how they handle the situation, lets say warranty claims or spare part availability & cost.

No doubt that Hyundai & Kia made better cars recently & massive satisfaction in other countries but same couldn't said here as Sime Darby & Naza isn't all that reliable when comes to aftersales service.

I think this is what cybermaster98 trying to convey.

Hope this clears the misunderstanding here.
