wah the 2nd hand value for matrix really bad man....found out i gotta top up few grands to settle the outstandings if i want to buy another car

 

[dreamzero]

Yours must b d 1.6 one, rite?

Korean cars r not exactly known for its economical engine...maybe that's one of d reason why its 2nd hand value its quite low:sad_smile:

I heard from one of the owner of the 1.6l Hyundai Matrix saying that the fuel consumption for the car is really bad. Sad to know that everyone in the market is giving the car a turn down because of this.:Not_Impressed:

Is depend on what you want? Before I ride matrix, I'm owning a turbo car. So already used the amount of pretrol that I top up ... :_:

maintain drivng 110km/h should be not that thirsty lah

 

[Daniel Lee]

All depend on how the car is being driven. :-)

Guys...Anyone had trying used 16 inch rim to Matrix???!
I have plan to use 16 inch rim with tyre 195/45/16 to my matrix....
Pls advise me is it ok?....Thanks.

 

[dreamzero]

Nerv,

To upgrade, the rite size should b 195/55 R15 or 205/45 R16.

For sure there would b some effect, either to your performance or set-up. try not to beyond+- 2.5% increase.

Maybe can ask the tyre shop people. Or u can go to www.tyresave.co.uk

Gd luck.

Come join www.mymatrixclub.net for more info.

Hi Fellow Matrix Owners,
My Auto Cruise controller isn't working anymore. During my recent visit to the regular Hyundai Service Centre, I was told that the problem should be the coin cell battery that needs replacement. I've replaced the battery but still it doesn't work.
Has anyone of you experienced this or are that any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Tony

same here with mine...
what i did was..went to 222, in front of Honda s/room there..got one big acce.shop right...they are the dealer for our tom cruise control

 

[tonyt]

manhunt,

Thanks for that bit of info!
BTW, how much did they charged and is it just for repairs or replacing with a new unit?

Every car sure has pros & cons.

For matrix the worse was the FC .... other than that is rated between good and excellent.

Those info was from several hyundai forum .... :)

ya its true, i use my matrix to transport air compressor and cements too due to my work requirement,suprisingly its quite tough,oni down side,the petrol usage like crazy.

Hi People....I am new to Matrix forum and you know why? bcos I am planning to get one to replace my 97 Wira 1.5A (gearbox problem).

Can someone tell me if my move is a wise one? :)
I see that the FC is an issue but my Wira was worse...(nothing can compare with it).

Can the Matrix be used as a daily driver and not enlarge the hole in my pocket? Of course it all in how it is driven right?

I already have an automatic ATOZ and it is quite a drinker....

I think the Koreans have not mastered the art of building refined engines yet unlike the Japs....

Please tell me what should I look out for when I go for the test drive.

Thanks a lot....
