Avega, the most affordable sedan


If you live in Indonesia and you're tight on budget but have a dream of having your own sedan, then you may consider to buy Hyundai Avega as your private car. Recently, when I read newspaper, my eyes stopped at Avega's advertisement. It emphasizes on how valuable this car as its price starts from Rp 90.25 million (below US$10000).

For many Indonesian people, maybe this sedan is the cheapest one since Timor, a national car promoted by Soeharto's son in his era. But will it hit the market greatly? Indonesia is the country which has characteristic as price sensitive. This means that many Indonesian people often neglect the quality and choose the cheapest price in buying their needs. So because of its affordable price, this car has a great opportunity to be popular.

But if we take a look at the specification, is this car really worth it? I'm not an car technician nor an expert in reviewing a car, so I can only list the specification I got from the newspaper ;).
Here are what we will get from Avega :
  1. 1500 cc - 4 cylinder engine
  2. Compliant with Euro II standard (that means this sedan is environment friendly)
  3. Power steering (for easy driving)
  4. Multipoint Injection (MPI)
  5. CD MP3 audio (for type GL and SG only)
  6. Flexible seat arrangement
  7. Air conditioner with heater

One thing that I can comment on is in Indonesia there is absolutely no need of heater since Indonesia is a tropical country. The weather here is very hot in the spring and warm in the summer ;). The rest, hmm, maybe it's better to visit hyundai showroom in your city so you will be able to inspect the car more thoroughly. Agree ?
