2003 Hyundai Matrix GLX review from Malaysia

When I got the car the Auto Cruise system cannot function at all until now. I have unit it returned to the Agent responsible for installing after which they return it to me saying its not faulty and refer me back to Hyundai Service center. Then they said one pipe's missing and they have order.

Well, that's OK I guess cos its not a safety issue. Then another problem came my matrix engine rev up while stopping at a traffic light junction 2 weeks from the day I got the car. The car started to move on its own if I take my foot away from the brake pedal. I brought it back to the Service center then they found out that a rubber pipe was missing! Imagine that something controlling the engine could come off. I really got mad and they temporary substitute another saying they will order but until today not received yet.

Now almost 3 months problems above not solved yet and another problem came. There is a rattling noise coming from the front (don't know where) whenever I made a turn with uneven or bump corner. Sounds like some nuts loose inside the metal body. There is no noise when going through straight uneven surface.

That's terrible, I thought Hyundai is a good choice, but now I begin to suspect this Korean quality! Service is poor at the service center and technician cannot solve the problem.

Overall the design is good and its interior is spacious. The trunk is a bit too small for family luggage. Handling is good, but lack power. Tire is lousy and noisy,should have trade them in when I got the car.

I would not recommend this car to my friend.
