I bought the HUNDAY BAYON one month ago.
600 km later, first small problem — the gauge stopped working.
I have an appointment set for 15 days from now. That said, it’s a real pleasure to drive: very smooth, lively acceleration, comfortable and perfect visibility. 800 km on the clock, but I’ve noticed city fuel consumption is much higher than advertised — 9.7 litres/100 km, mostly urban driving.
