I entirely agree with the comments made about the Hyundai ix20. A lovely car every respect except the ride; it's dreadful over poor roads.
I bought mine in April 2013, and within 24 hours of my purchase, I was complaining to my dealer and later to Hyundai UK, all without any success.

Well, it's been in again for a couple of hours. Complete waste of time, unfortunately. I've asked that the dealer approaches Hyundai with a view to replacing every possible part that might have a bearing on this clonky suspension. Wouldn't be complicated - it's only MacPherson strut, after all.
Otherwise I have to make a decision about whether it spoils the car so much that I can't put up with it - in which case it'll have to go - or whether I can live with it for 2.5 years until it's 3 years old. The plus point is that I'm not doing as many miles as I used to, and most of them are motorway or similar. It's no problem at all on them; excellent motorway cruiser, in fact.
One thing's for sure, if they don't fix it, I shall never buy another Hyundai. I had all this same sort of thing with the Getz, and vowed never to buy another, but after 9 years I thought they must've improved. But as far as basic build goes, going by this example, I'm afraid they haven't.
