Hyundai Matrix Gls

[Biker boy]

Hi, I am planning to buy my first car, I thought of going for a Hyundai Matrix GLS which i can afford within 1.5Ml. Can any one help me on the fuel consumption, the parts availability, durability and Handling. Any useful information will be highly appreciated.

Thanks guys for the reply, BTW when you compare the Mitsubishi ck2 and the Hyundai Matrix, which is the better ?? also do you think the matrix has a low ground clearance?

Well if I was given an option between Ck2 & Matrix I will defa go for the Ck2 hands down.. it’s a great car, and will hold its value comparing to the Maritx..

Thanks Simplelife, How about the fuel consumption on CK2 and the spare parts availability?

[Simplelife]

I had a manual Ck2 (1.5cc engine), so in the city run it did around 9-10km/l and outstation around 12-13km/l, parts are easy to find in most of the places in Panchi and agents..

How about the gear box, some say that the auto gear of this model creates issues. any idea about this ?

They are known to give issues if they haven't been maintained with the proper oil. You can always run a diagnostic at the agents if you're not sure.
