Hyundai Santa Fe CRTD CDX+ Auto 2007

Have driven high miles in a Toyota Landcruiser, Landrover Discovery (not latest version) and two Nissan X-Trails prior to this Hyundai. The Santa Fe rates highly in this group (not as good as the Toyota but a lot cheaper!). It is roomy, comfortable, performance is not bad although doesn’t accelerate too well up motorwy inclines in the way that, say, the 2.5 petrol engined Nissan does. Diesel engine is very good for relaxed cruising and it is quiet. The auto gearbox is not great - changes down too easily when all you need is a bit more acceleration in the current gear and, as a result, puts the engine into high revs which is unproductive in a diesel. I use the tiptronic function quite a bit which gets round this problem. Went for the 5 seat, not 7, as rarely need 7 and the underfloor storage that you get without the extra seat option is much more useful for us. Roof bars would be useful but they are too wide to take any standard fittings so means back to Hyundai for ski racks etc. Economy is 28mpg round town, up to 33 on long run at less than 75mph. Been excellent over past 20,000 miles

Hyundai i30 Style Wagon 2008

We have had this car for almost a month and I am really impressed with how easy it is to drive. Loads of space, very versatile, excellent road handling, well equipped and do not forget the warranty which also contributes towards higher resale value. Well done to Hyundai.

Hyundai i30 1.6 Style 5dr 2007

Really excellent car, I’ve had mine 4 months and I’m really pleased with it so far. It has a nice smooth ride and feels really solid and safe. Comes with a really good set of standard equip and feels and looks like a more expensive car.

Hyundai Terracan 3.5V6 7 seater 2004

We currently live in Perth, Australia and bought a Terracan with the 3.5V6 petrol engine, auto, 7 seats and Tow n Trek pack. This transforms the lumpy suspension. The 3.5 engine is brilliant - smooth, powerful, but drinks fuel like its going out of fashion. Not a problem in Oz, but we’re thinking of shipping it back to the UK, and would be an issue there. Servicing here is cheap, which is good because it needs servicing every few thousand miles. Brilliant off-road: use it a lot in the bush and it takes pretty much anything you throw at it. Its an old Shogun underneath that has been fitted with additional off-road protection, so its a proven chassis etc. The auto + v6 power make it great on sand: many a Landcruiser / Patrol driver has had a shock as I’ve driven past them, and with my tyre pressures still on normal ! 7 seats are really useful, but not an option in the UK apparently. If they could sell this version in the UK with reasonable fuel consumption would be amazing value for money. They’re a similar price over here, but can be imported: note the Aussie warranty won’t be valid though, and parts for the engine would need to come from Korea. Great no nonsense off-roader that’s OK on road with the Tow n Trek pack fitted.

Hyundai Terracan ltd edition auto 2007

Bought new march 2007 at a brilliant price of £18000 including reversing sensors and metallic paint just had first service at 9800 miles by Hyundai agent (£280) very expensive for a basic oil and filter change. The car itself is a joy to drive with its high driving position and very comfortable seats, road and wind noise is minimal although on B roads the ride can be lumpy due to the suspension being rather firm but A road and motorway driving pose no problems . The engine is very responsive and accelerates readily overtaking at high speeds is no problem, build quality is good no rattles or bits breaking off, a full load of passengers plus luggage pose no problems the boot area is huge. MPG averages between 30/35 per gallon not bad for a 2.9 ltr 4+4. All in all a lot of vehicle for a very reasonable outlay.

Hyundai i30

Nice car, but 2 small concerns, rear side windows not low enough for kids to see out of when sitting in the back & lack of parking vision. Too many safety airbags everywhere within seats and dashboard, if you have a prang and its sets them off you be looking at a new interior. Pricey i bet.

Hyundai Amica 2008

I have not had this car long but I will recommend buying one. I have been driving Vauxhalls for over 8 years and they are all good motors but the Hyundai Amica is far better on motorways, more economical, brakes better and easier on tyres. I have fitted remote locking and have done between 400 and 500 miles all in one day with no problem.

Hyundai Terracan 2007

We are now on our second Terracan, a great car for the money and as we have a horse and do a lot of towing we needed something on the large side. Tows very well although on the auto gearbox when towing the fuel consumption is quite a bit lower. Highly recommended.

Hyundai Accent Si 1999

I owned a white 3 door Accent Si reg T351 THJ from November 2002 until February 2007. It had 22962 when purchased and 124200 when sold. I drove it daily and for two years exceeded 30K per annum. The car was indestructible. I often drive for 250 miles at 85 miles an hour without a problem. Maintenance was limited to servicing and even this was sporadic. It was comfortable, economic but basic. Nothing broke ever. My second Hyundai. It was so good I bought an Elantra. If you need cheap and reliable that no one will attempt to steal, buy one.
