Do not take your car to be serviced at Lakeside Hyundai!

I was treated with nothing but disrespect from [Name Removed] at Lakside Hyundai in the service department.

My car is 3 years old and has done 75,000km, it was due for a 65,000km service but due to Covid all dealerships were shut. The earliest booking I could get was December 2nd. Yesterday my car came to a complete stop suddenly on a busy highway almost causing a major collision with no warning lights on the dash at all! The car restarted immediately. I called Lakeside to try get an ea...Read more

My family bought brand new $36,000 when I was away overseas working in the US. I have owned cars like Toyota, Honda, Ford, and Jeep.

This car was pretty much ordinary from the start - heavy steering, poor ride quality, expensive servicing and poor dealership experience. Quality became more apparent over the years: paint faded early (paintshops advised defective paint), transmission leaked, suspension creaked and rusted, interior parts fall off, electrical problems like rear demister stopped working, air vents wouldn't redirect airflow, cigaret...Read more

My engine blew up at 90,000 KM - i left it into the dealers, the mechanic repeatedly assured me that the engine should not blow up at that millage regardless of the service history - it was fully serviced as per the log book with one missing at 30,000 km. I had to pay for my own hire car while they investigated - the cost of which was $3000. They came back telling me it was denied, the mechanic dealer again saying there is no reason for it to be denied and i had to pay for a further diagnoses ($600) to be denied again. Throughout the experience...Read more

I test drove this car overnight and I don't know what it is with these cars that have cheap plastics that rattle when you drive. There were a lot of positives otherwise, it was roomy, decent boot, great infotainment.

The biggest negatives was that you had to go to the higher spec for RCTA and other safety features, it was so thirsty, the outside is bigger than it has to be for the room inside and the cheap plastics that rattled. I actually took this one for a drive at night and it was okay. Why I didn't buy it was lack of safety features in t...Read more

Needed another vehicle as our Holden Cruze was costing too much to run then it was worth.

We looked at a few different brands and settled with Hyundai after our families reviews and reading heaps online.

We wanted the active X due to the leather seats and having 2 tiny humans we wouldn't have stains on the seats and could easily clean up mess.

We've had the car for 2 months and am currently on maternity leave however drive regularly down to the Gold Coast from Moreton Bay and do daily trips out.

The Apple Car Play feature is great as I often make calls in the car while the little one is asleep and it means I can be fully hands free and safe.

We purchased the Tucson 2015 Elite new. It was one of the best looking SUVs in the market at the time and still these days I find Hyundai vehicles to look the best. We drive 50,000+kms per year mainly on the freeway and with this allowed us to utilise the unlimited km warrant which Toyota and other competitor weren't offering at the time.

First the Pros:
Great looking car, entertainment system is good, reverse camera is sooo much better than Toyota, good size and unlimited km warranty.

The cons:
Build quality is terrible. Within the first mo...Read more

Bought a 2005 model with 190000kms in 2019 for $4000, after a brutal test drive, it gave numerous issues from day one; blew a fuse that lights up the rear lights, alternator died and drained the battery, the cluster and speedometer stopped working, the accelerator loosened itself, the gears wouldn't change up when it should, the airbag light came on, the ABS light came on, the diff light came on, and 2 other lights I've never seen before. Besides all those issues, the ride wasn't very comfortable, suspension bounced very stiffly, the accelerato...Read more

My wife has had an i30 since February this year, I was very impressed with it, and, seeing my 2008 Ford Territory was getting a bit old, and starting to cost lots, decided to have a look at a Tucson, well after driving it, I traded my car in on it. I am very pleased with the car, I had to get used to the smaller size than the Territory, and going from an AWD to a FWD, but it was time to part with the big car as I don't need a 6 cylinder car anymore, having sold my boat, and also being 78, find the smaller one better to handle. Very smooth ride...Read more

There are so many SUV choices out there and the Tuscon is on the radar. As with all SUVs, they are roomy and nowadays, people drive it not to take it off road but to look good. The blue colour was sharp but it ends there. Hyundai has come a long long way since it's excel and Hyundai sonata days and they are make a positive effort in the car market. But having driven European and Japanese cars, the Tuscon has ways to go. I'll pay AUD$27k max brand new for the 2019 and probably 15k for a second hand 2018 model A tuscon looks like a mx5 with no in...Read more

I love the design of the car. It has the high end look about it without the price tag!
I find it nice to drive & it’s good to be up a bit higher whilst driving so you can see the upcoming traffic ahead better . This is my 1st SUV. I got the manual version as I still like driving manual. A bit of fun!
Leather seats inside and comfortable drive. The only down side I would say is the heating and air conditioner. Both work alright but could be better - colder & hotter. Reverse camera is fantastic. Only had one issue the cruise control went haywire ...Read more

We purchased our car 1 year ago, in August 2018. We upgraded from a Mazda 3 because we struggled to fit a pram and all the shopping in the boot of the Mazda. So the Tucson has turned out perfect for everything we need, plus more... the boot is a great size for the pram plus all the shopping. The seats are comfortable and I find that no parts give you a blind spot, such as those panels in between the windows - sometimes they get in the way when you're doing a shoulder check - but not in the Tucson. The safety features are incredible, reverse ...Read more

Had the car since Sep 2016. The car drives very well. I loved the car when I first got it. Great car to drive. However, problems start popping up after 2 years and I had the following issues in just the short 3 years of owning one:

- a component of the electronic park brake failed last year. Symptom was sometimes the EPB engaged but sometimes it didn’t. Had it replaced under warranty.
- Last December, the aircon was out on the days when the temperature was 40+C. Had the car with the dealer for 2 weeks before they could fixed it. Replaced a con...Read more
