T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

[nes123]

Hyundai vehicles in T&T are overpriced. The Sonata at 310k vs the Optima at 289k? Go figure, what exactly is included in the Sonata that the Optima doesn't have to justify the 21k extra price?

The Cerato sedan is 178k vs an Elantra (with a sunroof---> big deal) for $209k? A difference of 31k?

The Sportage at 257k with pan roof vs a Tucson similarly spec'd at $274k?

Greed.

Studied both the Optima and the Sonata in depth, both are great vehicles most ppl would go with the Optima but theres something about the Sonata's Style and interior design that i love.

Have to make a decision by nexth month..already ruled out the elantra.

Bai sharky if ya have 310k to spare buy a mondeo for 299k or a passat na man

... I have seen 5,6,7... hell even 10 yr old Japs and Euros in good condition still doing the job well! I haven't seen many Korean vehicles doing this as yet! ...

I drove a 1996 Hyundai Accent from new for 10 years and 343,000km before it was sold. Only had to re-build the engine once at 234,000km (it was burning a litre of oil every 5000km); changed the shocks once; replaced the radiator once; replaced the clutch disc, pressure plate and release bearing once; and replaced a knuckle joint once. No other major repairs.

I also drove a 1997 Mitsubishi Lancer from new and, comparing it to the Accent, the Lancer's reliability was much poorer than the Accent. I still have the Lancer and it is now doing 195,000km. In that 14 years and 195,000km, I have had more headaches with the Lancer than with the 10 years and 343,000km of using the Accent.

From my personal experience with both brands, Hyundai >>> Mitsubishi.

elantra ftw...I not no big guy so da sonata would drown me!
D elantra looks like a mini sonata.....lots of curves and from reviews the noise elimination in the cab coupled with the gas consumption for a 1.6 is pretty neat.

Just my opinion...

Then you'd fit just right in the Optima

I was interested...then i thought of all th epeople who will rush to buy a diesel sedan...then i thought about it being the new almera..then i thought about getting a fiat or skoda.

[acesinghit]

What I find strange on this forum is ah set of alluh forking out 300k normel for a diesel pickup and upwards (Maska, Achievors, M. Rampersad editions etc) and a lil accent for 180k becomes too much. What gives?

[Stephon.]

I won't spend 300k on anything from japan.
