Tested: Hyundai Elantra Sport

The extinct attributes

Bekendstelling: Hyundai Accent Luikrug

Paslaken tussen die i20’s en i30’s

‘n Ander opskrif vir die artikel miskien ‘n Noord-Kaapse sêding gewees het;  “tussen die tjoep en die taaier.” Daar is net-net plek vir die paslaken tussen die twee bestaande modelle en dit is meer ‘n saak van die verskil in pryse as in grootte wat die nuwe aankomeling so welkom maak op ons mark.

Bekendstelling: Hyundai i30

Stel nuwe standaarde in sy klas

Die stof het nog nie behoorlik gaan lê, en die roes is nog nie behoorlik afgeslaap ná die fenomenale ontvangs en prestasies van Hyundai se nuwe Elantra nie, of die i30 verskyn op die rakke om nog enige moontlike gapings in Hyundai se arsenaal van puik en aantreklike motors in die kompakte segment te vul.
