Five reasons to love and hate Hyundai
At the turn of two centuries, when humanity with such a pomp and one year ahead (because in fact the XXI century began in 2001, and not in 2000) celebrated the new millennium, marketers noticed a significant increase in demand for subcompact car models. The ambitious Korean concern Hyundai could not stand aside. As a result, in the fall of 2001, a concept called Hyundai TB was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show, and six months later, in March 2002, the Hyundai Getz serial babe flaunted on the Geneva podium.

If you are not allergic to large crossovers or Volkswagen as a whole, then it is probably impossible to dislike Q7. It is clear that the taste and color of all markers are different, but in their class no competitor has such elegance. Large, comfortable, richly equipped, also traveling almost like a passenger … What can sadden the everyday life of a happy owner?
In the case of Q7 with mileage, the step from love to hate can be overcome in one visit to the service center. Damn expensive to maintain, even during the warranty, and even “killed” by the previous owners of the car will be the reason for the most fierce negative emotions quickly. And if he is also with the “unsuccessful motor” …
