nah its the diesel... has no go off the line. car feels very heavy.

nice to cruise tho.

you might think it's a little slower because you're used to a faster car. But 320nm of torque in a 1.7l turbo diesel motor is awesome. You can get 1500km to a tank of fuel highway driving in one of those too. I sell Hyundai's and i'm currently driving one for a drive car - i think it's great i enjoy driving it every day. Nice and smooth comfy and power is great.

The question you have to ask is; if you can get 320nm of torque and 1500km per tank from 1.7l,

Why wouldn't you make it 2.2l or 2.4l with a wide ratio box, & actually have a car that goes fast AND gets good fuel economy?

Cause mazda already did that with the 6 diesel. 2.2 litre 130kw 420nw 5.4l per 100

And Hyundai owners are povos, that wouldn't pony up for a mazda.

Would not buy.

If you found out the cost of servicing and replacement of parts on these modern diesels you would freak, the particulate filters alone are worth 3-4k and can block every year or two.

I punched one out the other day as it was clogged, the customer couldn't afford the 4k for a new one from Subaru. So happens there are temp sensors in there to help diagnose the burn off phase, without the medium in there this doesn't happen well at all obviously. When the fuel gets dumped to do the clean the car now goes into limp mode. :/

Love a bit of engineered failure; how else can you make money out of reliable cars?

My point exactly.

Add to that the stupid direct injection issues of carbon build-up around the intake valves and you have some serious maintenance issues, cars are definitely not designed to do half a million k's anymore, not without massive servicing costs.

5 year unlimited km warranty, 7 year roadside assist, 3 years capped price servicing (15,000km-12 month intervals) full size spare better put together interior (easier to navigate and more updated), better features, better value for money and a better looking car is a handful of reasons why i'd buy an I40 over a dolphin-nosed Mazda.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
