Hyundai vs Mercedes
-
Hey I just wanna tell you ppl that I think that Hyundai cars mostly have high capacity and low power but Mercedes have low capacity ut high output.why?
maybe because of the supercharger and good engine layout by Mercedes.Why Hyundai like that can tell me? -
Because Hyundai sux big time. tts why.
And i jus saw a black sonata with GT Spoiler....
-
Because of the OMV.
Mercedes got higher OMV than Hyundai.
LOL -
What you pay what you get. Like 1 litre of water is so much cheaper than 1 litre of engine oil. Small capacity, but still different.
-
Engine technology. Most European car have advance technology.
HYUNDAI betting on design not doubt very nice but quality & engine techno...still 10 year behind Japan, long way to go.
Japanese car over hype:-
VTEC is not new as over hype by HONDA. (Already existed in ALPHA 12-years ago)
New HONDA ACCORD 5-speed Auto. (Already existed in all VOLVO since 1999 models). New ACCORD engine tuning now is tuned to high torque @ low rpm. (this concept already existed since 80s in all most european car ie FARRARI, ALPHA, VOLVO, MERC, AUDI)
No doubt small CC JAP car is fuel saving but not not for car that is greater then 1.6cc.
Real life example from friends:-
NISSAN SUNNY 2 feedback from friends consumption 10km/ltr on manual car.
S40 1.8A (2000model 5 speed Auto) 12km/ltr
S60 2.0T (light presure turbo) 11km/ltr -

because they are using different engines that are made by different ppl from different countries in different factories using different equipments producing different parts that have different functions.

so long as this thread has changed into criticizing hyundai, I think we need to have some advocates including me. Strangely to say, I wonder whether we can compare different segment cars manufactures here.
------------------------------------------------
As we can learn from toyota, I think, toyota, honda or hyundai are able to produce high performance engine, however they may not be able to sell it in the market with high price tag as their badge is not made by european (i'm not imperialist though).
However i don't think engine itself makes the best car as there could be other factors (e.g., transmission, brake, body rigidity and so on). Personally honda's engine is as good as bmw's, but i don not consider honda as the best car manufactuer.
BTW, all the latest hyundai's engines are par with toyota/honda's in terms of hp and fuel econonmy (new sonata, azero and 1.6s), however I do not consider them as good as toyota/honda's cars as i know it may take some time to wipe out old thinkings/perception.
Though one thing I'm sure is that there is no other car manufacturers who can make car like hyundai with that budget (or money for value, i mean quality versus money). As a humble salary man i think hyundai contribute a lot to singaporeans (for some sense we may not be able to buy corolla with current price without hyundai's budget cars though we consider the change of coe)
Now hyundai is a great contender to major car makers(not only toyota and honda), and some of it's models are in my shopping list in coming year.
Little i doubt hyundai can be the survivor at least 10 years time or by the time china start to produce quality stuffs.
German/jap cars owe their reputation to war(esp., WWII) however korea/singapore was none the less victim of them(compassion right?). when bmw, mitsubish, fuji had made fighters or toyota, mb, vw made trucks for war we singaporean had suffered from their domination (and we consider that war is their heritage and compare victims with rulers). -
It may interest you folks to know that the latest generation of Hyundai engines, known as the World engines will be used on Mitsubishi and surprise, surprise Daimler Chrysler cars which include Mercedes and Dodge. These engines, notably the 2.4 has been seen in the Sonata 2.4. Hyundai Sonata has also won J D Power Associates' most reliable cars in its class in the US. Mercedes on the other hand has been floundering with thier build quality. So, is a Mercedes a better car or is it one living on its three pointed star dream?
