We bought our Terracan Ltd edition brand new in 2006 after wife had an accident, we had Shogun but the wife could not get in it. I must be honest I was a bit nervous of the change, but I was in for a shock - our Terracan came out better on running costs - a lot more to the gallon and I had a manual Shogun and we have the auto in the Terracan. I would recommend the Terracan to anybody that is looking for a 4x4 that is priced £18750.00 that has got to be value for money for a new motor loads cheaper than the rest of the 4x4s on the market. It gives a good ride, good driving position, also good for towing 24ft caravan with no problems, the only quibble that I have is that the Aussies get a 7 seater version and we don’t. Also the wife loves the car and if she’s happy so am I. Ha Ha, nice quality leather seats, and the question I have been asked would I buy another Terracan? The answer to that is yes - like a shot, why pay more for a badge on another make like BMW X3, X5, Shoguns and others...

Just to upset the "Top Gear" mob, I recently bought a 1994 Sonata cd, with the 2 litre engine. Jet black paintwork, dark grey leather interior, aircon, and a boot you could chauffeur with. It’s covered 69,000 miles, shot through the MOT, and drives like a new car. It even looks like a new car, not a mark on it. Whatever Clarkson and his acolytes say about them, Hyundai have cornered the market on the "Sedan" , the slightly larger, safe as houses, but with a sting in the tail in the shape of the "Sport" button on the automatic box range. Press the sport button down on mine, and I regularly leave the BMW 5 series clan standing. And they DON’T like it. On the other hand, I love it. And yes, I do polish it regularly. Oh yes, the price..... £500.

Despite claims of 39mpg, I have only ever achieved 30mpg - very disappointing especially with diesel prices as high as they are - i.e. fuel costs are higher by 25% based on the low mileage. Despite raising this several times with Arnold Clark I have been told everything is OK.

So far I have done less than 1,000 miles, but I am enjoying every one. Cute external design that compares well with European options (and a lot cheaper), BIG on the inside with AC and CD/Radio as standard. Willing engine but no motorway mile muncher, really an ideal town car and I would not be surprised if teenagers take to it as a first motor, very stylish, fashionable even - all in all a good buy. Plus amazing 5 year unlimited mileage warranty. Great!

Superb car for small price has all the features I could ask for, 1st of all if you’re a tall person it’s very good for you personally I’m not but the rest of the family are, up to my granddad with Parkinson’s at 6’7. They find it easy to get in and out of which is saying something. The A/C is good quality and doesn’t have that cheap A/C smell. The fuel economy is good even up here in the Pennines. It has no trouble breaking the 30mpg mark which in my last car was difficult and required "freewheeling". I’m only 20 with 2 years no claims bonus and my premium is only £850 which is amazing, as a 1.4 Renault Clio would be nearer the £1,000 mark.

Had the car from new, up to now only the glove compartment catch has broken in that time, other than that hassle free. I thought the price new was very good value for money. Had four Nissan Terranos before the Terracan and I think that the Terranos are still a better stylish looking motor, but I had lots of trouble with them, door catches, leaking windscreen washers etc, even though they weren’t very old motors. Up till now I would highly recommend the Terracan.

Love the car. Warranty service at Hyundai dealer was expensive, that is really my only complaint.

I am in Sydney, Australia. I have the 2.9 diesel in the Highlander version, which is no longer available. Its got the leather, albeit not great leather, and a variable 4WD that cuts in automatically when required. Its very versatile with the fold down third row of seats. Powerful, remarkably quiet for a diesel, and far less thirsty than the petrol version. Its a shame with Hyundai pushing the Sante Fe and Tucson so much that the Terracan never gets a mention as its a solid, value for money, reliable vehicle.

Bought this car to replace our Mercedes A-Class following a cramped trip to Wales with three adults a dog and luggage ! The car is a dream and we bagged one with 16k on the clock and 3 years warranty for under £9,000. Huge space, really comfortable seats and a massive loadspace - fantastic ! It looks stylish and the spec is huge - electric windows, aircon, a superb stereo and plenty of nooks to store things - even a "curry hook" - they thought of everything ! Very smooth to drive and a great gearbox - makes the Vitara seem like a tank. Road noise and wind noise is there, but not much and the engine is very quiet. Don’t worry about reports about fuel cost - this one does about 30 mpg - better than most. A lot of good quality car for your money. If you are thinking of this car - just buy it !!!
