A strong, cheap and very reliable van. The Hyundai H100 is a great car for the money.
H100 owner reviews and comments:
I have had this van sitting in a yard in all weathers for about 2 years; the body is as good as new, with no rust and just needed a new battery. Started with no problem.
Fantastic to drive..which is simply fantastic and fast I have to say!
It has some very powerful and useful brakes, so you shouldn't find it a problem to drive this Van.
Hyundai has done a good job indeed... I have also written a Review about the Hyundai Accent 1.5, which is my other car. The Accent is also a superb car, and it is mainly used by my wife. At the moment we are looking around for a new car. I really do love Hyundai!
I really like H-100. It's big, it's huge, and it's as spacious as a THX theatre, especially at the rear. Fake wood and hard plastics removes some points though.
Even though the ride it's a bit firm, it's comfortable. It only bottoms out in the worst ruts.
It's OK to drive. Front and side visibility are excellent, but backing this van up is like backing up a delivery van.
The handling is OK, and body roll is kept to a minimum.
Air-con is adequate cold (despite the foot vents), but not as freezing (I mean the Antarctic) cold as Nissan's air-con. Because the air-con is rather noisy outside, it's quite obvious it's a Sanden.
Even though launching it from a standstill is good, the acceleration is super slow and deadpan throughout the rev range, even at 3500rpm or past the redline. You need to shift it up to around 3500rpm or higher for the best result. However, it can make the engine a smoker within no time, especially that the engine is a pre-combustion distributor type. The newer CRDi can be thrashed to the limit, but it puffs out only a little smoke barely visible to the naked eye. Also, the chances of the CRDi of becoming a smoker is much lesser (about 75% lesser) than a distributor or normal direct-injection engine.
But overall, the H-100 is a good vehicle to own, as it's comfortable and quite easy to drive. Despite the meagre performance, it has solid reliability that's as tough as rocks, despite being cheap.
