Hyundai IX35 Problems

The trade-in price guide is $15,200 to $17,400, but with the low odometer yours should be at the top end of the range.

The CX-5 and Tucson are both highly rated medium SUVs, and I’m sure both would be good choices for your needs. Both are refined and cabin noise doesn’t appear to be a problem with either of them. If I were to choose I would go for the CX-5.

For beach and basic trail driving I'd be aiming for something with a locking centre differential, which all-wheel drive versions of the previous generation X-Trail certainly had. Another suitable good value option would be an all-wheel drive Hyundai ix35. Both of which were available in diesel. Any common issues will likely be highlighted on our X-Trail and ix35 problems pages.

Don't just cop it, that's a cop out. Complain directly to Hyundai and request something be done about it. At the same time go to a car audio specialist and ask them what they could do to improve it.

By all means you can try, but I doubt that you will have any success. The car is six years old, and the steering wheel is something that is subject to wear simply from being handled.

I would rule out the CX-7 on the basis of poor fuel consumption, the performance of the iX35 petrol version is a little lacking, the Tucson is a better car, but I would suggest the X-Trail is probably your best bet.

As I understand it it's not a straight fit. The headlights on your car can be adjusted so have your dealer do it at the next service and see if that improves it for you.

All non-commercial used cars sold in New South Wales are by law meant to have a warranty of 3 months/5000 km if they are less than 10 years old and have done less than 160,000 km. But even if it met those criteria you have had the car for six months and the warranty would have expired.
