      24hrs for free isn't bad. Imagine if you need to pick up your parents from the airport and all you have is a MX5 or something. Bam, problem solved for free (assuming you can get the car for the suitable day).

          Let's revisit that question after this car has been around for 5 years. They said the same thing about Lexus before it categorically owned a serious chunk of the market.

        • smartazz104 on 12/06/2015 - 10:46

          @sellingoutsoon:

          Yes but Lexus was the launch of a new luxury brand; this is an attempt by a Korean car manufacturer known for cars like the Excel to try and move upmarket. They obviously aren't selling hence this offer. You think they will keep this car on sale for 5 years if it doesn't sell well?

        • WhatWouldBiggieDo on 12/06/2015 - 15:09
          +1

          @gokhanh:
          Saying they are known for "cars like the excel" is a little unfair.
          The I30 and Veloster are good sellers and have come a long way from the excel days. With that said, I'm still not ready to own a Korean car

        • sellingoutsoon on 13/06/2015 - 15:57

          @antt: Yeah I'd have to go with @antt on this one but @gokhanh I think what you said was true at some point, but not now. Let's face it the Excel was bad by today's standards, but it's not made today. Secondly, Japan's earlier attempts (especially Honda) were laughable. Having said that, the higher-end Toyotas, even from the late 70s and 80s are close to spectacular. Fast forward 20 to 30 years, and I've never heard a bad thing about an I30. This is very obviously Hyundai's first worthwhile attempt at doing something amazing. Even the critics are impressed. The problem is, Lexus isn't getting any worse, and arguably neither are German cars. Free servicing, guaranteed buy-back, the only thing bad I can see about buying a used one is the likelihood of it being ex-hire. What the naysayers possibly aren't seeing is that since Kia and Hyundai merged (for want of a better explanation) they've been the fastest-growing car company in the world. For some time too. What's great is that the consumer wins. It's good to see at least two real competitors to Germany.

    They could be offering an i20 for 24 hours. Wouldn't that be fun? You could feel like ….just anyone…. driving one to work or Uni, every day. I'm already depressed. This car is unquestionably about luxury, and frankly, a test drive for 24 hours is better than a bargain. Not very focussed marketing IMHO, as the offer seems unvetted; they should possibly be targeting their market a bit better, unless they're just trying to get as many people talking about it as possible. Looking at their other marketing efforts, this seems likely. Absolutely a bargain, if you consider the cost of petrol, an…investment in an experience. Downside? Maybe the daily drive will be a bit more pedestrian after being in a cinema of silence, with a hyperspace pedal.

    • tonka on 11/06/2015 - 19:00

      Well, then it's their fault. And fwiw, the car will tell you they're about to do it, it's got advanced sonar-type tech. Nothing like feeling the panic of an accident moments before it actually happens.

      As close to 15 minutes as you'll accept! I went to a car dealer not too long ago, and for the price of the car I was very surprised that the overtly good-looking and well-dressed salesman had such tremendously poor sales skills. I could have been convinced if he'd have been good (possibly more like amazing), but he was just not as good as his suit suggested. Sad.
