2004 Hyundai Atos Walkaround Review in 2019

Back then when you want a compact hatchback, you have a few choices like the kenari, the kancil, the tiara and this. This car was the answer for those who want a small hatchback but at the same time they don't want to be seated in a car with a national car badge. What you benefit from this Korean product is that you enjoy an interior built quality which is surprisingly solid, and you also get 3 gears and one overdrive gear while other competitors only get 3 speed autos sadly. This car is the long forgotten Inokom/Hyundai Atos. Just like the Hyundai Getz that came out a few years after the Atos, when other fancier alternatives were launched, the Atos immediately lost consumer attention in the spilt of a second. Now that you don't see many of them on the road, you may keep it and one day join a classic car event in future and flaunt this Atos that you have to the newer generation who have little to no idea of this car's existence.

Powered by a 1.1 litre 4 cylinder engine which is being paired to a 4 speed automatic transmission, the Atos does behave in a very sluggish manner when you have to chauffeur 4 overweight occupants. However, sit only the driver and the Atos reaches illegal but ethical highway speeds of 120km/h with arguably fair levels of ease.

Comfort is good for a Korean car of that era. When car manufacturers are still fresh with things, they tend to be unable to provide the best kind of comfort for their customers. But with the Atos, occupants are able to feel a sense of effort that Hyundai has put in to make the Atos as comfortable as they can.
