Abstract
This paper is an attempt to understand and study the post purchase behaviour of Hyundai car owners of Aizawl,
Mizoram. 170 Hyundai car owners were studied through questionnaire. The paper uses Principal Component Analysis and
Factor Analysis to find out the major factors that play a key role in the purchase, usage and ranking of preferred attributes of
Hyundai Cars. The factors are determined based on 25 attributes of cars for which 9 factors are sorted out using the Rotated
Component Matrix. This study will help understand a consumers’ perception towards automobiles as well as for the
manufacturers and dealers to understand buyer behaviour and may develop certain marketing strategies through the findings
of the research. The study validates 9 factors that buyers of Hyundai cars take into consideration while analyzing their
purchase- performance, accessibility, value, technology, safety, security, aesthetics and choice factors.
