Hyundai ix35 delays
Can you give any help on the Hyundai ix35 situation? I have been waiting on delivery since July 2010. It's a 2.0-litre premium with both Media and Individual packs in Cassa White. Hyundai don't tell us anything other than they are waiting on engines. I have spoken to their UK customer service and they don't give straight answers, they stumble and stutter with excuses.

They are waiting for engines from South Korea. Might make sense to see if you can transfer your order to the new 1.7 diesel engine which is much more economical, still pulls well from low revs and is made in one of the twin factories in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
