The problem is not the car... its your sister who doesn't know how to keep a car in a good state. This car is definitely not the worst one, all mechanics say how good they are! I have one myself and it's the same model but in a much better state. Very affordable, smooth and problem free if you keep to a regular service. Parts are easily accessed here in Malta, better than a Peugeot as you'll end up leaving it aside waiting the parts for months! Don't be bias... if you don't like the car it doesn't mean it's the worst one ;)
Marilyn Stellini totally agree. a relative of mine is a mechanic and got me this car as they are cheap and reliable. I’ve had it 5 years and only had to change a few tires and wind screen wipers. No major problems, very reliable.
@@user-lq8ex3be2m full of plastic.. Reliable and very easy to repair. Anyway you have to take care of it. Compared to my Daihatsu Cuore L701 this car is not so economic. Daihatsu L701 gives me 5 liters /100Km consumption.
I’ve a 2005 Hyundai Atos with an automatic gearbox, airconditioning, central door lock, electric windows and I absolutely love it. The automatic gearbox and engine run very smooth. It’s really fuel efficient and reliable. Loads of headspace and if you fold over the rear seats you can fit a ton of stuff in it. Is it good looking or fast? No. Will it impress people? No. But it will get you from point A to B in a safe and comfortable way. The problem is not the car. It’s your sister who doesn’t want to spend any money on maintenance and she doesn’t even keeps the car clean.
Lol review.. Hyundai Atos is good but the car he used was pretty beaten already so the viewers would judge that this car is shit! But honestly, This Atos car is good especially city driving.. That's all. LOL!
My wife drives a Hyundai Atos and it's such a great car: low fuel consumption, low manteinance prices and good interior space. It has resisted two floods as high as 1,20 metres. For me, is better than a GM Matiz or even a Ford Ka.

Meh, it's a 15 year old car that's been neglected for 100,000 miles of city driving and it starts first turn of the key. I wish the old Fords we got in the UK were this crap (I'm thinking 1990s Escorts here mainly with the 1950s pushrod engines that were always unreliable in cold weather).
its not the car...its the owner..i too own a santro/atoz 14 years old...and still runs perfect... its all about maintainence and care...a car condition reflects its owner...
I have one with 19 years old with 205 000 kms and runs perfect, now I'm going to start a project with that. If the AutoVlog wants he can come to portugal and I loan my to him, to see if it is that worst car in the world.
We have one 2003 Atos Prime 1.0 GLS model (kind of cuter version of the standard "washing machine" body style of the car in the video, but mechanically equivalent) and it's a excellent car for the price we paid, around 9k€. Even if it was and is driven in a demanding way (I made trip through the italian Alps) it never had critical problems, just few light bulbs (only front) to replace and normal maintenance, oil replacement, etc. As 2018, it is still running with 260000km...
You definitely do not know about this car. This car was called santro in India. This car was the major turning point for car reliability and build quality in India. Amazing car. Like if you agree. Any Indians
bought one for 500 usd (just like i was buying an iphone 6s)...with 80.000 miles on it. bought a brand new LUK clutch kit for 60 usd. roaming all day around the city costs me just 7 usd......the space inside, i would say, its fairly good.... i am on 130.000 miles now without a service. your channel credibility drops.....did you ever change this car's oil?
If you want I loan my hyundai atos with 19 years old and 205 000 kms and you see how bad it is, and see if you still think is that bad. You only have to come to portugal and I let you try it,
I haven't sold mine which is 16 years old and has 1,35,000 Kms on it. Extremely reliable, easy to maintain, great AC, good bottom end torque, short gear ratios, small dimensions, which makes it so much fun to drive in the city. It's a car I don't want to sell !
It's a great car you "genius". Consumes almost nothing, is spacy and is perfect for delivery of goods and services everywhere. I have 3 cars, one of them is the tiny Atoz I love. ;-)
Nice review! You sure have deep car engineering knowledge and you will improve in the future. In about 30 years from now you will be able to tell the difference bettween an automobile and a washing machine and how to use the former properly. P.S. RESPECT to the GIANT called Hyundai....
I drove one in Greece (rent it) once. It's a good car for the greek islands where the streets are narrow. It's a capable car, light but confortable enough and doesn't burn much fuel. The air conditionning was not capable to deal with greek summer temperatures though.

Hyundai atoz is a good car and save fuel. it is not worst car in the world.this car is suitable to go long travel and for others.if cheapest car also for me that's car is more worth for me. maybe after 2 years I will take my father atoz car for the project. that project is convert engine to Toyota starlet ep82 turbo,change to leather seat and convert dashboard to Toyota passo. my father car model is atoz glm. don't say that Hyundai atoz is worst car. your sister never care that car that's why got problem like this.

My father has had this car since before euros existed. I have also seen at least 5 other people in my small town having the exact same model. Its a dawg of a car, kt has lasted for 25 years+ while all his friends with newer cars constantly have to get new ones. It holds a special place in my heart
I’be driven mine to ver 195,000km in 12 years. My first car. People asked me to buy a new car. But I’m keeping it because I like driving it and it’s fuel-efficient and easy to park.
278000km for a 2003 model, Atos prime GLS, Italy. Interior is yes...typical Hyundai of that era, not so high quality (on the other hand, other economy cars like from FIAT, were not better). But the mechanic department is impressive: never had problems in the engines, just regular maintenance and probably around 5 headlight bulbs in total replaced In the last years, run sometimes with very low oil, but start and operates like a Swiss clock. Power steering fully working as well as AC (by the way, never had to recharge it). No rust, had only to renovated recently the opaque cover of the headlights with toothpaste hahaha.
Actually, this is a great city car. It has a lot of power for such a small car (search for "Hyundai ATOS 1.0 Sprint 0-100km/h"). If you fold the rear seats, it has a lot of room in the back. Not the best option for long travel but as a city car it's great - short and narrow, you can park it where other cars won't fit. Condition of the vehicle depends on the owner of the vehicle. Mine is 1999, runs and looks great. There is no problem starting the engine at very low temperatures. Brakes are weak in this car and because it's tall and narrow it's very susceptible to crosswinds.
great video, Very funny. Bought one of these for the wife about 14 years ago, we just had a new baby. Wife witnessed another Atoz being rear ended at traffic lights, Rear passenger compartment was completely destroyed, so we sold the car immediately for safety reasons
+Barry Oneill Thank you! Yeah it's definitely not the safest vehicle.. I wish my Sister would junk it and just stick with having a bus pass lol.. it would be the safe option ;)
I had the misfortune of riding in a bright yellow one of these as a kid. I suppose one advantage of the bright yellow colour was that it was more visible to other road users! 😂
The problem is definitely not the car. The problem is your sister and you. Your sister because she has turned a very reliable, practical and spacious (for its dimensions) car into a piece of crap, and you because you are using the result of your sister's mistreatment to claim that the car is crap. Along the last 30 years I have owned a number of cars ranging from TOYOTAs, SUZUKIs, BMWs, AUDIs, but I never thought of getting rid of my beloved 1999 ATOS, bought in 2003 with 27,000 KM and now running at 175,000 KM. I wish HYUNDAI would reproduce this car in exactly the same shape (with today's technology, of course)!
I have one of these in silver from 1999 mines acually lower spec no electric windows I was given the car even tho its 17 years ols it has never had a problem and runs smooth today go on 300 mile journeys no problem cheap on fuel too. agree not the best looking though.
Man thats just not true, I had this as my first car and I used to start it up revv it like mad and take off daily for I dont know how many years. Didnt smoke or burnt oil and when I sold it ran solid like a new car. Very durable engine.
If this Atos has a hands he will smack your sister so hard . What pos is she to not take care of this lil tank. My Atos sounds and look way way WAYYYYY more better than this poor thing.
Additional information, when we ask the owner of car service what brand are best in the market with cheap maintenance, good engine, cheap and reliable... He said to us with guarantee "go for hyundai atos or seciento" those cars are tested and the engine are reliable...
My car is atos 1999, I'm the 3rd owner, bought it 1,500 € with 400k+ km and been f^¢k by the 2 first owner putting lpg, xenon light, alarm but amazingly it run so smooth, very economical, you have wide visibility of the road, so much space inside to load your cargo, spare parts are cheap, very succesful design of hyundai and you will be amazed how many still running in the road this days, every time I go outside atleast 5 of this model I saw. Better to say your sister car (whatever model or brand it is) is the worse car. Sorry but it is so obvious she didn't care that car that's why you found it in that status.
How did you know where the redline is if there is no tach? But would it matter with a car like this anyway? The first thing I thought when I saw this car was taxi cab.
if you put a side the look, the car is quite reliable. judging from the condition of the car it's surprising that bloody fucking car is still in running condition.
This car cost more than midsize sedans in my country because its reliable and cheap to run and its costs three times it's original price when it was new 😐
Drove from Southern Italy to Germany no problem. Apart from ordinary maintenance no major issues. Bought in 1999 and still going strong. Can a Hyundai built today do the same?
I can only comment on the one I had "I use to sell a few cars back in the day" and for a cheap runaround it was great probably the slickest little gearbox I've ever driven but it was a buy it sell it car, kept it for a couple of months but as a town car great but you wouldn't want to be doing many motorway miles that's for sure but gets a big thumbs up from me👍
Hi, Mike, I lived in Norway a town called Trondheim back in the 80s for about twelve months I loved it in Scandinavia I visited Sweeden and Denmark, then about 10yrs ago my sister did one of those DNA tests and found out we have Viking ancestors, now I know why it felt like home.
its a mpv that is good its just your sisters fault for not keeping it in good condition dont hate on a cool 2000s car (ik we got opinions) also its not ugly its pretty cool (ik we got opinions again) but uh yeah i love this car its one of the coolest hyundais ive ever seen
I owned the newer version to this, the Amica. I'd say "worst" car in the world is a bit harsh. Ugliest, eh, it's not the prettiest, but have you ever seen a Nissan Leaf? However many years newer and fugly asf. It's about expectation. You can pick up low mile good condition ones of the Amica (pre and post facelift) for like, £350-600. So if you're expectations are in the right place about buying a cheap no thrills, but reliable and economical car, for that money, they're actually pretty respectable. In fact I got given a free pre-facelift Amica with 60k on it that needed MOT. All it took was rear shoes and a set of wipers and got a fresh years ticket and had literally nothing go wrong with it at all. So for £35 in parts and a £40 MOT invested, I'm certainly winning at £75 for a car that I've beaten on for over 6 months with nothing going wrong at all. Personally tempted to try shoe horn in a 1.4 or 1.6 lump. The 1.6 with 103bhp and 115lb/ft of torque in one of the lightest cars I've owned would certainly surprise a few people because the one thing with these cars... ...They are F**KING slow as standard. Lol. So in other words, what I'm saying is, they're cheap as chips for good ones, reliable, cheap to maintain, and assuming the 1.6 will go in (the gearbox seems to be the pain looking online at parts pictures) you could even have a pretty quick little sleeper. And I've certainly got to say - no ones done it before, so it would at least be unique. If perhaps for questionable reasons!
I bought a 2006 model last year.....it is proving a great little car and not as basic as you might expect for the money......air conditioning.....electric windows all round and plenty of headroom, it is surprisingly roomy inside the car.....boot size is okay for shopping etc......when time comes to change would like another Hyundai maybe i10 or i20.
Iam surprised you didn't breakdown in middle of the road I used to drive a Nissan bluebird slyph in Sri Lanka that does more than that and it was made in 2005
AutoVlog uhh calm down but it's a thing with you Swedish, not just you but where I live there's some of you and you guys clear,y sound like Americans. And where I live is the south of Ireland so it looks stupid. I'm basically saying can't some of you speak English with a Swedish accent? Cause every Swede I've heard speaks with an American one
You don't know how to treat it. this car is still suitable for use, fuel efficient, handling is quite comfortable. still quite comfortable to use for small families
Believe it or not I actually love these little Atos cars. So simple, so lovely. The shape is kinda ugly but the car serves it's purpose and is very functional. Loads of headroom too. They are designed for city/town driving but do pretty well on the highways as well. They are so lightweight that the tiny 60 HP engines can get up to speed pretty quick when merging onto highways, and can sustain 100+ kms/hr long distance with ease, no problem. I don't recommend them as a primary vehicle for regular long distance driving though. Tiny engines like these will wear out quicker than like a 1.6 L 4 cyl engine with more horse power, because there will be more internal stress on the engine's low HP. With a 100+ HP engine one never really gets close to maxing out the HP in any normal driving, but with these Atos cars it's almost regularly at the max HP 'threshold'. But as a city/town car with occasional highway driving they're great! Cheap & Cheerful. The manual is more peppy than the automatic, both in town driving & merging onto highways.
There's the newer model of the Atos here in South Africa, not sure what other countries got the new one though. I think it was reintroduced about a year ago
i bought amica 4yrs ago never mist a beat cheap as chips to run spent £64 in that time,done 40k gets 80mph on motorway,take rear seats out and its amazing what you can fit in,will buy another when this one is done,parts for a amica are cheap
i wanted to ask about the coolant, iv just brought a 99 atoz and it doesnt seem to use the coolant reservoir, the heater works fine, blows hot and cold, and it drives fine, just asking another person whos owned one if you have had this
Check if the coolant hoses are correctly installed. I once had this problem where the coolant reservoir was always depleting as if it had a leak or it was being sucked out or something. Turns out there must be only 1 hose from the coolant reservoir back to the radiator. Nothing more. Anything more is a sloppy job from someone's handiwork.
we here in the USA want to know about the little tree air freshener maybe you could zoom in on it or do a special follow up video, cause we all want to know about that cute little tree you got there. (Loraine mad TV) lol shits and giggles.
The only problem is that the back it boxy, in other versions of the atos like the Santro or the Kia visto are not really boxy, it’s not as ugly as the fiat multipla but it’s not really interesting in the inside either
You do not know about its specifications Please check the car properly Hyundai Atos means the old Santro is a very nice car with a powerful engine of 1105cc and AC was also really good and goes till 15C and is the best Hyundai car with safety of 3.5 stars and average rating of the Atos is very good and maintainence of Hyundai Cars are very low
Gas consumption was fantastic and I could zip in and out of traffic. 4 litre engine. Pity he used a beat up version to review a car no longer on the market. I can only say that if Hyundai were to manufacture these again, I would definitely consider another.
Hyundai Atos/Amica those things are bulletproof , apart from engine , they are totally a crap , no confort , no stability , it's like a 50's car drives you from A to B , better go for Hyundai Getz
So, do you have some sort of agenda to victimize this little car? What's the point of the recurring video snip of the exhaust misfiring...? I'm sure that this would have been in the first few seconds of cold start only...but why keep repeating it, when the driving part seems to show the car running just fine? Oh, and I guess your attitude of American superiority extends to the fact that you're immortal (not wearing seatbelts is so macho). Please. This could have been an encouraging video to those of us who can't afford new vehicles and I'm sure your sister was impressed with your video of the interior stating that she 'doesn't care about the car' and that's why there was so much trash in it.
I have this trash of a car(Santro GL). But one thing is good for this is - this one can take a beating and still run. I am currently 100000+km ODO, returning around 14kmpl of petrol usage. Only niggle I have is - it is low on power, with AC on, the car struggles to pull. Other than that I don't have any problem with it. Handling is a bit of woolly though.
I'm not trying to be against anything but I am really against the gear ratio of the car. I mean first gear only gets to 40km/h? That sort of gear ratio is way too short. If any of you come to Malaysia one day, go try out the Proton Iriz. Jesus Christ that car of ours has great handling. Performance is only acceptable but still, stability is more important than speed!
The problem is not the car... its your sister who doesn't know how to keep a car in a good state. This car is definitely not the worst one, all mechanics say how good they are! I have one myself and it's the same model but in a much better state. Very affordable, smooth and problem free if you keep to a regular service.

Power steering fully working as well as AC (by the way, never had to recharge it). No rust, had only to renovated recently the opaque cover of the headlights with toothpaste hahaha.
@@singing4hope Don't sell it if it goes fine. Together with Daihatsu they are the most reliable city cars.
U Look like Thanos
Myfather owns a 1999 atos and he drives it evryday and it never wanted repairs....what do u have to say about this
I have the same and it's been 20 years and it's still as good as new
Actually, this is a great city car. It has a lot of power for such a small car (search for "Hyundai ATOS 1.0 Sprint 0-100km/h"). If you fold the rear seats, it has a lot of room in the back. Not the best option for long travel but as a city car it's great - short and narrow, you can park it where other cars won't fit. Condition of the vehicle depends on the owner of the vehicle. Mine is 1999, runs and looks great. There is no problem starting the engine at very low temperatures. Brakes are weak in this car and because it's tall and narrow it's very susceptible to crosswinds.
great video, Very funny. Bought one of these for the wife about 14 years ago, we just had a new baby. Wife witnessed another Atoz being rear ended at traffic lights, Rear passenger compartment was completely destroyed, so we sold the car immediately for safety reasons
+Barry Oneill Thank you! Yeah it's definitely not the safest vehicle.. I wish my Sister would junk it and just stick with having a bus pass lol.. it would be the safe option ;)
I had the misfortune of riding in a bright yellow one of these as a kid. I suppose one advantage of the bright yellow colour was that it was more visible to other road users! 😂
Lol in India it saved people’s life
Pretty solid car. It does look ugly but I'd rather own this than an oversized SUV gas guzzler.
My mom bought a 2005 Atos Prime GLS 1.1L in 2005 and it still looks neat and drives extremely well to this day. It's not the car, it's the driver.
In India this car is known as the Hyundai Santro
When it was launched this car had best in segment look
The problem is definitely not the car. The problem is your sister and you. Your sister because she has turned a very reliable, practical and spacious (for its dimensions) car into a piece of crap, and you because you are using the result of your sister's mistreatment to claim that the car is crap. Along the last 30 years I have owned a number of cars ranging from TOYOTAs, SUZUKIs, BMWs, AUDIs, but I never thought of getting rid of my beloved 1999 ATOS, bought in 2003 with 27,000 KM and now running at 175,000 KM. I wish HYUNDAI would reproduce this car in exactly the same shape (with today's technology, of course)!
Great little film. Very funny. What is it`s name? No maintenance ever! And starts in sub-zero temps! Wonderful!
I have one of these in silver from 1999 mines acually lower spec no electric windows I was given the car even tho its 17 years ols it has never had a problem and runs smooth today go on 300 mile journeys no problem cheap on fuel too. agree not the best looking though.
I like the Atos very much also in the exterior
it aint ugly, you just didnt maintain it well.
+The Happy Lad It's very ugly, and no.. my sister did not maintain it well
AutoVlog piss off mate, i modified mine so go away lol
+The Happy Lad lol, you riced out a hyundai atos ?? I don't know if I should respect you or wonder what the fuck is wrong with you haha
AutoVlog Riced out wont be the word i would use for my atos pal. On the other note, you should respect me as i am doing the impossible :P
The Happy Lad you need to get a better job if this is your ride. What a fucking pile
Air conditioning and heated seats, yet it has manual wing mirrors. BTW the exhaust has a hole in it. 😃
wtf heated seats?
haha
You pretty much can't sell a car here without heated seats, every single car on the market has them.
I had one of the first ones in Jamaica and I LOVED it!!!!
He says that this is a piece of junk i have this car for 13 years and trust me its a diamond it never took me to the mechanic instead of service
Man thats just not true, I had this as my first car and I used to start it up revv it like mad and take off daily for I dont know how many years. Didnt smoke or burnt oil and when I sold it ran solid like a new car. Very durable engine.
Fuck me, my car doesn't have heated seats!!!
Curtis Jarvis Same!!! :(((
this car is best !!! man!!
If this Atos has a hands he will smack your sister so hard . What pos is she to not take care of this lil tank. My Atos sounds and look way way WAYYYYY more better than this poor thing.
where is the rpm gauge?
I bought one myself in 2009 for 900 eur. Still driving today in 2021 as everyday job car. It is 21 years old now and working flawless.
Additional information, when we ask the owner of car service what brand are best in the market with cheap maintenance, good engine, cheap and reliable... He said to us with guarantee "go for hyundai atos or seciento" those cars are tested and the engine are reliable...
One thing I like about low horsepower cars, is that you keep your foot down all the time and you can red line it all the time too.
My car is atos 1999, I'm the 3rd owner, bought it 1,500 € with 400k+ km and been f^¢k by the 2 first owner putting lpg, xenon light, alarm but amazingly it run so smooth, very economical, you have wide visibility of the road, so much space inside to load your cargo, spare parts are cheap, very succesful design of hyundai and you will be amazed how many still running in the road this days, every time I go outside atleast 5 of this model I saw.
Better to say your sister car (whatever model or brand it is) is the worse car. Sorry but it is so obvious she didn't care that car that's why you found it in that status.
I think all mentioned is ironically, indeed Hyundai Santro / Atos is a value for money car. She,s economical yet best in its segment
How did you know where the redline is if there is no tach? But would it matter with a car like this anyway? The first thing I thought when I saw this car was taxi cab.
Elliott Manning the car redlines at 5500 and the rev limiter kicks in at 6500 rpm lmao
Wow, I just got a hyundai ad before this started!
I still use this car.. its ok and awesome for me to drive
if you put a side the look, the car is quite reliable. judging from the condition of the car it's surprising that bloody fucking car is still in running condition.
This car cost more than midsize sedans in my country because its reliable and cheap to run and its costs three times it's original price when it was new 😐
Drove from Southern Italy to Germany no problem. Apart from ordinary maintenance no major issues. Bought in 1999 and still going strong. Can a Hyundai built today do the same?
I can only comment on the one I had "I use to sell a few cars back in the day" and for a cheap runaround it was great probably the slickest little gearbox I've ever driven but it was a buy it sell it car, kept it for a couple of months but as a town car great but you wouldn't want to be doing many motorway miles that's for sure but gets a big thumbs up from me👍
is it just me or this car reminds me of the type of car you will see in Japan
I learned stick in this
Hi, Mike, I lived in Norway a town called Trondheim back in the 80s for about twelve months I loved it in Scandinavia I visited Sweeden and Denmark, then about 10yrs ago my sister did one of those DNA tests and found out we have Viking ancestors, now I know why it felt like home.
Did you fix your sisters car?
What was the weird rattling noise?
Qué onda??? Tremendo coche es. Yo lo amo. Se banca todas mis comidas de baches
its a mpv that is good its just your sisters fault for not keeping it in good condition dont hate on a cool 2000s car (ik we got opinions) also its not ugly its pretty cool (ik we got opinions again) but uh yeah i love this car its one of the coolest hyundais ive ever seen
I owned the newer version to this, the Amica. I'd say "worst" car in the world is a bit harsh.
Ugliest, eh, it's not the prettiest, but have you ever seen a Nissan Leaf? However many years newer and fugly asf.
It's about expectation. You can pick up low mile good condition ones of the Amica (pre and post facelift) for like, £350-600. So if you're expectations are in the right place about buying a cheap no thrills, but reliable and economical car, for that money, they're actually pretty respectable. In fact I got given a free pre-facelift Amica with 60k on it that needed MOT. All it took was rear shoes and a set of wipers and got a fresh years ticket and had literally nothing go wrong with it at all. So for £35 in parts and a £40 MOT invested, I'm certainly winning at £75 for a car that I've beaten on for over 6 months with nothing going wrong at all.
Personally tempted to try shoe horn in a 1.4 or 1.6 lump. The 1.6 with 103bhp and 115lb/ft of torque in one of the lightest cars I've owned would certainly surprise a few people because the one thing with these cars...
...They are F**KING slow as standard. Lol. So in other words, what I'm saying is, they're cheap as chips for good ones, reliable, cheap to maintain, and assuming the 1.6 will go in (the gearbox seems to be the pain looking online at parts pictures) you could even have a pretty quick little sleeper. And I've certainly got to say - no ones done it before, so it would at least be unique. If perhaps for questionable reasons!
Compare this to Nissan Leaf? You've got no taste and no idea!
"Worst"
"Ugliest"
No. A Multipla is uglier and a Trabant is worse.
Central Intelligence Agency you clearly never driven a trabant 1.1L . Lightyears better
If its the worst car why is it still running?
I bought a 2006 model last year.....it is proving a great little car and not as basic as you might expect for the money......air conditioning.....electric windows all round and plenty of headroom, it is surprisingly roomy inside the car.....boot size is okay for shopping etc......when time comes to change would like another Hyundai maybe i10 or i20.
Iam surprised you didn't breakdown in middle of the road I used to drive a Nissan bluebird slyph in Sri Lanka that does more than that and it was made in 2005
U should do a koenigsegg video if you ever come to Sweden again it's stationed in Stockholm
Why do Swedish when speaking English try to sound like Americans??
What ? I live in America..? What/who am I supposed to "try" and sound like if you dont mind me asking
AutoVlog uhh calm down but it's a thing with you Swedish, not just you but where I live there's some of you and you guys clear,y sound like Americans. And where I live is the south of Ireland so it looks stupid. I'm basically saying can't some of you speak English with a Swedish accent? Cause every Swede I've heard speaks with an American one
Cornholio he lives in America...holy shit, use your brain.
You don't know how to treat it. this car is still suitable for use, fuel efficient, handling is quite comfortable. still quite comfortable to use for small families
Believe it or not I actually love these little Atos cars. So simple, so lovely. The shape is kinda ugly but the car serves it's purpose and is very functional. Loads of headroom too. They are designed for city/town driving but do pretty well on the highways as well. They are so lightweight that the tiny 60 HP engines can get up to speed pretty quick when merging onto highways, and can sustain 100+ kms/hr long distance with ease, no problem. I don't recommend them as a primary vehicle for regular long distance driving though. Tiny engines like these will wear out quicker than like a 1.6 L 4 cyl engine with more horse power, because there will be more internal stress on the engine's low HP. With a 100+ HP engine one never really gets close to maxing out the HP in any normal driving, but with these Atos cars it's almost regularly at the max HP 'threshold'. But as a city/town car with occasional highway driving they're great! Cheap & Cheerful. The manual is more peppy than the automatic, both in town driving & merging onto highways.
And you are right, there's something quite nice about things being so simple.
There's the newer model of the Atos here in South Africa, not sure what other countries got the new one though. I think it was reintroduced about a year ago
i bought amica 4yrs ago never mist a beat cheap as chips to run spent £64 in that time,done 40k gets 80mph on motorway,take rear seats out and its amazing what you can fit in,will buy another when this one is done,parts for a amica are cheap
Dude, turn off the button for the Air Conditioner if you want the heater on.
Did the seatbelt not work either?
Sure glad it was not imported to the US it’s bad enough looking at Prius. Thank you for enlightening us.
It's the nerd emoji of cars
Still better than a smart...
even a Ferrari in this condition(car is almost abandoned), it would look ugly too
i wanted to ask about the coolant, iv just brought a 99 atoz and it doesnt seem to use the coolant reservoir, the heater works fine, blows hot and cold, and it drives fine, just asking another person whos owned one if you have had this
Check if the coolant hoses are correctly installed. I once had this problem where the coolant reservoir was always depleting as if it had a leak or it was being sucked out or something. Turns out there must be only 1 hose from the coolant reservoir back to the radiator. Nothing more. Anything more is a sloppy job from someone's handiwork.
we here in the USA want to know about the little tree air freshener maybe you could zoom in on it or do a special follow up video, cause we all want to know about that cute little tree you got there. (Loraine mad TV) lol shits and giggles.
The only problem is that the back it boxy, in other versions of the atos like the Santro or the Kia visto are not really boxy, it’s not as ugly as the fiat multipla but it’s not really interesting in the inside either
You do not know about its specifications Please check the car properly Hyundai Atos means the old Santro is a very nice car with a powerful engine of 1105cc and AC was also really good and goes till 15C and is the best Hyundai car with safety of 3.5 stars and average rating of the Atos is very good and maintainence of Hyundai Cars are very low
Gas consumption was fantastic and I could zip in and out of traffic. 4 litre engine. Pity he used a beat up version to review a car no longer on the market. I can only say that if Hyundai were to manufacture these again, I would definitely consider another.
The car is bullet proof, you sister did something very very wrong
There's no uglier car than the 1991-2000 Daewoo Tico. That thing looked like a shoebox on supermarket cart wheels
its my car :(
CHEAP AND CHEARFUL I HAD ONE. IT LASTS LONGER THAN EXPENSIVE CARS.
Hyundai Atos/Amica those things are bulletproof , apart from engine , they are totally a crap , no confort , no stability , it's like a 50's car drives you from A to B , better go for Hyundai Getz
So, do you have some sort of agenda to victimize this little car? What's the point of the recurring video snip of the exhaust misfiring...? I'm sure that this would have been in the first few seconds of cold start only...but why keep repeating it, when the driving part seems to show the car running just fine? Oh, and I guess your attitude of American superiority extends to the fact that you're immortal (not wearing seatbelts is so macho). Please. This could have been an encouraging video to those of us who can't afford new vehicles and I'm sure your sister was impressed with your video of the interior stating that she 'doesn't care about the car' and that's why there was so much trash in it.
Honestly still looks better than new Hyundais which has headlights in place of fog lights and no bumper all edgy cuts and headlights
I have this trash of a car(Santro GL). But one thing is good for this is - this one can take a beating and still run.
I am currently 100000+km ODO, returning around 14kmpl of petrol usage. Only niggle I have is - it is low on power, with AC on, the car struggles to pull.
Other than that I don't have any problem with it. Handling is a bit of woolly though.
i love the moment when the lights "die" a little bit when i unlock my window
I'm not trying to be against anything but I am really against the gear ratio of the car. I mean first gear only gets to 40km/h? That sort of gear ratio is way too short. If any of you come to Malaysia one day, go try out the Proton Iriz. Jesus Christ that car of ours has great handling. Performance is only acceptable but still, stability is more important than speed!
You would be less afraid if you would buckle up your seatbelt.
To be honest , mine build at 2005, and now 2020. Most part still original. Reliable than my 5 year old mpv which cvt fail , cooling coil fail
"is worth for the price" can you make another one better?
Your sister could at least restore that car like a brand new one
