and additional service charges for the next 5 years...


Hmm, wouldn't service charges be charged regardless whether warranty is 5 years or not?

Service charges will still be levied during the warranty but all non-wear and tear parts are covered by the warranty.

For those who do not drive a Hyundai, Hyundai service charges are very reasonable with 10k km service intervals.

Exactly ... so I`m wondering what point fkmfkm was trying to make.

Anyway, just wanted to share my views about 2 different types of fuel pumped to the Avante. My company has a Shell fleetcard which allows me to pump either RON95 or RON97. So far, pumping either fuel has no noticeable difference in terms of performance. Caltex RON95 seems to give better engine response compared to Shell RON95. Tried V-Power and it was a waste of money (at least, so far based on what I can observe) with no significant improvement on acceleration. Friend told me V-Power doesn`t work as well on a new engine as opposed to an old one ... I'm beginning to feel this is true.

I mean there'll always be service charge, regardless whether it's 1 year or 5 year warranty. Not more, not less. Hence I don't quite understand what you are trying to say when you mention "additional" service charges when regardless whether the car is under warranty or not, service charges still apply .... unless u have a means of servicing ur car without paying after warranty?

"Service charge" is levied for 1k, 5k and 10k service.

Hyundai getz 1.3 also come with auto shut off light when turn off engine.
This is very good.
This feature only come with korean car.

As i know honda civic 2.0 and toyota also don have.

When you drive korean car you will get the satisfy that will never come with japanese car. You will explore more usable feature.
