Hyundai i20 1.2 Classic 5dr 2009
Can’t fault the value in this car. No other supermini can match it, even our base model. Looks great in sparkle blue metallic. Standard fittings are just awesome, remote CL, A/C, tilt/reach column, 4spkr CD, Ht adj seat, el Frnt windows, etc You even get a spacesaver spare and not the can of gas so regularly being offered these days. The thing that strikes you the most is the internal width of this car plus space; it makes for a very comfy feel; very palatial! The practicality of the 1-20 is about as good as it gets with flat folding seats (Ford take note) and a huge boot that can swallow suitcases. Top marks Hyundai. Not as quiet as a Mazda2, but much better at speed ~40-60mph where the engine pulls like a dream and is very smooth witha a nice gear change. Only neg point is the take off bogging down, strange cos it is only just as you take off but this prob helps economy (or could it be an engine mapping prob?). Dash is very nice & not gimmicky unlike some recent cars (Fiesta and Corsa inc). The ride is excellent,as is the steering.Brakes are brill. The paint and fabrics are also 1st class. The high driving position reminds me of an MPV. Overall a very easy car to drive. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED esp if the low % depreciation that is forecast is to be believed.

Hyundai Coupe SE 2-litre Auto 2004
So after 5 years we wave a sad goodbye to my son’s 2 litre Coupe SE Auto. 60,000 fault free miles, not one thing (not even a bulb) has gone wrong. The five year warranty expires next week so time to trade her in... and in this respect she has held her value very well returning almost 35% of her value after 5 years. She has always looked very smart in black with black leather and came fully loaded with toys (cruise climate etc etc) from new. The only very slightly negative things to say about the car is the (Cobra ...standard fit) is that the alarm is not very good... and the fuel consumption has never matched the official figures (but then which car does ???). I can understand why Hyundai can give a 5 years warranty (the family have owned 4 Hyundai’s so far) as nothing seems to go wrong with their cars.

Hyundai i30 Estate 1.6 diesel 2008
Huge problem with (main) dealer’s refusal to give invoice for my purchase of a pre-reg ’demonstrator’, for which I’d part-exed a low mileage Getz - I’m naturally worried in case a warranty dispute arises. Quite unnecessarily quick acceleration links with unbelievable economy (60+ mpg bobbing around the lanes) + a quiet and smooth ride to give an excellent motor-car: the only - and infuriating - problem so far being that when a memory stick is plugged in the system starts playing every time the ignition is turned on even though the head (radio) unit is switched off. AND the flaming thing returns to the 1st track every time! Service manager’s response: "Oh yes, my dad’s just bought an i30D estate like yours and it does the same - must be a software fault somewhere". Car excellent, local main dealer deserves a Gordon Ramsey style description.

Hyundai Coupe 2002
I think my Hyundai Coupe 2.7 is one of the best looking coupe’s around. Its V6 engine sounds brilliant and it’s got such a lot of car for its low price. Unlike the Audi TT which, although it is a good car, but the 2002 TT costs 10K more than my Hyundai coupe 2.7-litre cost me. Less than half that with only 29,000 miles. I get a lot of looks in it from young ladies, not me, THE CAR.

Hyundai Terracan 2007
Exchanged my Nissan X-Trail for the Terracan. The X Trail should have easily handled towing my 1500kg caravan but it struggled so I went looking for a suitable vehicle. Went to Land Rover agent in Christchurch who did not show any interest in my needs. Across the road was a Hyundai agent who recommended the Terracan for my requirements. This is the best advice I have ever been given! It’s a great car, good fuel returns and a great towing vehicle. This has been Land Rover’s loss and Hyundai’s gain. It’s a shame the car is no longer in production.

Hyundai Coupe s111 2.0 2007
I test drove the new Hyundai Coupe s111 2.0 the other day and bought it as soon as I got back. Yes, the clutch is quite high and will take a bit of getting used to, the style, the comfort, the gadgets and performance is out of this world - if somebody had told me that it cost 40 grand I would have believed them! No, it’s not Impreza fast, which are speeds you cannot even use in the real world, but doesn’t half have a kick to it the tax and insurance is reasonable and more affordable and that will attract many many buyers. If I was offered a brand new Evo or Impreza I know I’d still rather the Hyundai Coupe because its a nicer car, not a box with a turbo and a spoiler you could sit a family on...

Hyundai Getz CRDI 2003
A small compact car bought with 16000kms on the clock and now after 175000km and not any replacements only the brake-pads one time and 4 headlights and of course the oil and air-filters. Roomy it is too, 4 adults can easily sit in the Getz, better then its predecessor or the new Toyota Yaris (in the back we cannot sit comfortably, our legs be cramped - but the Yaris has a better move on the road). But I do not understand why the tests are only with the new Yaris and not with the first Yaris.

Hyundai i20 1.2 Comfort 2008
Done about 600 miles so far and taking it easy to run the car in. The trip computer shows up to 54mpg on the motorway and 47mpg on short journeys which is particularly green. I was too tight-fisted to pay for anything other than the standard ’Electric Red’ and quite a few people have noticed that this is particularly red. My favourite car is still my red 1987 1.4 Mk2 Vauxhall Astra which made 220,000 miles at an average of 6500 rpm without breaking a single part of note but after ’Corsagate’ they can whistle for my money and beg to the taxpayers. Sad to say I really can’t see much reason to buy a European made car anymore. £9400 for a new car and the Indians were even on our side in the second world war..... Bargain!

I’ve had my 1.4 Comfort 5 door in black for nearly 3 weeks now and so far I can’t find any fault... I’m currently getting 45mpg and it’s going up each week as the car runs in. Lots of features that I’m still discovering and getting used to... Fab, would recommend one to anyone.

Hyundai i30 1-6 premium 2008
I bought this model as my first deisel car, this is my 9th Hyundai and in my time I have had two coupes but this one is something special, mpg on fuel is great, more so on a long run, so far I’ve had a return of 66mpg over a 500 mile journey, true I had to cut down on my usual mph but well woth it. Comfort, and road handling excellent, but for me the best gadget must be the USB connection. With a USB flash drive full of albums I don’t require CD discs, so no more trying to change discs while driving, safe or what. my best Hyundai so far.

Hyundai Terracan 2.9 t/diesel ltd ed auto 2007
Bought new in 07 for a great price of £17,500 after looking at all the other manufacturers who were charging thousands more for very little extra other than name badge. Have had 2 years trouble free motoring and returning 30/35 to the gallon on runs (not bad for a 2.9 engine). Build quality is very good with masses of space to carry loads and she is very comfortable to drive. Downside is the servicing cost which are high for what you get but you can cut these charges by half at normal garages and still maintain your 5 year warranty as long as genuine Hyundai parts are used and your service record book is stamped. Take a test drive and see what you get for the money.

Hyundai i30 Premium 2.0 CRDI 2007
I have owned this car for 15 months and racked up 42,000 miles without a single hitch - not one! The car returns 50-54mpg on long runs, of which I do many, and 45-50mpg on short runs. For the record, prior to me buying the 2.0L, I borrowed an i30 1.6 CRDI for 2 weeks and got an average of 62mpg. My car drives today, just like the day it was delivered - absolutely new in look and feel. It’s comfortable, quiet, safe (I think!) and handles and grips well. The level of appointment in the cabin is very good. Servicing is cheap and service levels are excellent. Over the 5 year warranty, I expect to clock up over 160,000 miles. I think this car will breeze that mileage, with more to go at. But if it doesn’t, who cares? It ain’t my problem - and no other manufacturer can come close to that last statement.

Hyundai Coupe 2007
I’ve had this car just over a week now and it still blows me away every time I look at it. It looks fantastic from every angle inside and out complete with leather seats and electric sunroof make this car extra special, at night time the display is illuminated in a super cool neon blue... stunning. This is a car which makes you want to go and clean, polish and hoover it every day. By far the best car I have ever owned. Stunning. The only thing I have to get used to is the high biting point on the clutch pedal, is this the normal on this type of car?

Hyundai i20 1.4 Comfort 2008
Just taken delivery of 1.4 Comfort 5 door, colour solid red, averaging 42mpg, engine good, good feel on brakes and precise gear change, handling good, ride a little on hard side but overall comfortable. Good driving position and lighting. Comfortable on motorway and not too noisy. Current dislikes: dashboard shows finger marks, audio quality could be better and is over complicated to adjust, boot floor covering creases up - most irritating.

Hyundai Terracan ltd auto 2007
Was in market for a replacement for wife’s Hyundai 2.7v6 auto Santa Fe (fabulous car - 5 years trouble free motoring... only problem was high fuel consumption) when we saw the Terracan LTD Auto... looked great in black with full leather interior and after a drive and bit of bartering we got her with a discount and a decent trade in for the Santa. Two (trouble free) years later we still can’t fault it. She’s comfortable, easy to drive and adaptable (I’m 6ft and wife is 4’11’’) and surprisingly economical... On a good run 35/36 mpg - shame they stopped making them for the UK from 2008 as I would probably buy another for my son and his family in a few years (but they’re so reliable he’ll probably have a second-hand one).

Hyundai Terracan 2005
You certainly get what you pay for! I got a second hand 2005 last year for under £9000; outstanding value for money. Ride height - excellent, consumption - very reasonable considering the engine size; it looks the part too. The only worry I have is when the UK government start to hammer us 4x4 users for extra road tax. For a government that takes a 75% profit at the pumps and just throws my hard earned tax money at every problem I have serious misgivings. But enjoy this car if you can get one. You’ll feel the difference stepping down from a Land Rover but the savings more than make up for it.

Hyundai Sonata cdx automatic 2006
Well, I’ve had the Sonata CDX 2.4 petrol automatic for 3 months now and have covered 8000 miles in that time bringing the total mileage up to 20000 in 3 years. The car is ebony black and looks really impressive and has a nice sporting muscular stance (the 17" alloy wheels and 225/50 tyres also help the stance). This car really does get heads turning and looks much more expensive that it really is, the leather interior trim is also very impressive, much better than the previous model and, again, gets lots of compliments. The car has been trouble free since I’ve had it with the exception of a slight fault on the VDO radio/CD which was replaced immediately. The performance of the car is more than adequate but In hindsight I would have gone for the 3.3 litre V6 which is only marginally more thirsty and gives one the added bonus of a 145 mph top speed and acceleration to match AND the most glorious yowl as the engine goes through 3500 rpm! To summarise, the car looks good, drives well, is very spacious (especially the boot which is cavernous), is quieter than a lot of the opposition and is such good value for money. The only minor gripe that I have is that the fuel economy isn’t brilliant but I’ve countered that issue by fitting a sequential LPG system so now it is ’thumbs up’ all around.

Accent MVi engine has a design fault for which it burns engine oil after 70k+ miles. As a result my car’s engine seized!!

Hyundai Accent 3 door 1341cc petrol 2001
I always drove Mondeo’s over the passed 10 years but a year and a half ago I thought I’d have a change to Hyundai. I had never had an accident in 17 years of driving until the Hyundai - they are the worst cars you can have and lose value a hell of a lot - even if they are mint condition - check parkers price guide and you will see what I mean. Hyundai are the worst cars ever in an accident - my car was a total write off, beyond repair. Before you buy, check the common faults on them - that’s why my accident was so bad, they are called tin cars and after my accident I totally agree - they are like tins; not solid cars at all. I’m very disappointed in the car and would never ever buy one again. It was so lucky that we weren’t killed in it...

If there is another car that looks this good for the money I haven’t seen it! My car goes in for it’s first service soon and I have nothing to be fixed, everything works as it should, the quality of finish is as good as I have seen, from the paintwork down to the heated leather seats and switch gear, I did a lot of research into buying this car and it has gone far past my expectations, it is not the fastest, but where can you use the speed? It handles great and looks stunning, what else do you need! Go on buy one.

Hyundai Terracan 2006
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...

Hyundai Sonata cd 1994
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.

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.

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.

Hyundai Terracan Highlander 2.9CRDi 2006
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.

Hyundai Tucson 2.0 GSI Petrol 2006
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 !!!

Hyundai Terracan 2005
I bought the car after owning a Sante Fe for two years. The Terracan is a lot of motor for the money. A Range Rover it is not but you must consider that you could buy 3 Terracans for the price of a Rangey! It has been a totally reliable, very adaptable car, cruises very comfortably but gets a little noisy once you exceed the legal limit of the British motorway. The ride is a little hard when the vehicle is lightly loaded but that is not a problem when flying up the M6. Overtaking is never a problem - in fact when I last had it serviced the petrol powered courtesy car felt like a slug on sleeping tablets. I am looking to replace mine now with a ............. Terracan! but this time I will go for the autobox and leather options.

Bought new, after looking at the competition. Very well equipped, practical, spacious, comfortable, well suppressed wind/road noise, very easy to drive, pips to park, excellent turning circle, really well screwed together, and certainly NOT at all as described by What Car/Top Gear. Returns 35-40 mpg without trying, and I have no regrets whatsoever about buying it. Seems to be a very popular car ... and with good reason too. Unbeatable value, and I would recommend it without hesitation.

Hyundai i30 1.6 2007
I drive a fair distance every day (50 mile round trip) and the i30 handles it with no problems at all. I bought a pre-registered model for a very decent price and the most impressive thing about it is the build quality, all plastic I admit, but high quality plastic. Air Con came as standard along with a CD player and alloys. There has only been one issue with it so far and that was only a faulty indicator but this small inconvenience did allow me to experience Hyundai customer experience first hand and is was excellent. The RAC cover is free for the first three years and and they fixed the problem quickly and Hyundai provided me with a courtesy car immediately - I was very impressed. This car has certainly made Hyundai into a brand that I now respect.

Hyundai Terracan Limited Edition 2007
This is my 2nd Terracan; upgraded to Ltd Ed. I previously had Range Rovers and thought they were the bees knees, a friend bought a Terracan to tow heavy plant about, he was so pleased he advised me to change. I had a test drive and was so surprised; it was GOODBYE Range Rover and hello Terracan. I have got to concede they are a fantastic vehicle and what a great price! How do they do it?? And it comes with 5yrs unconditional warranty. My advice - if its a 4x4 you want, get yourself what I consider (after 12 Range Rovers) to be the best 4x4 on the road today, for value and performance. Be careful though, they are very fast and accelerate like a car.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRTD GSI 2WD 5dr 2007
Very well priced and capable 4x4. Hyundai are definately starting to lose their stayed approach to their cars and coming up with some corkers, the Tuscon being no exception. I looked at several 4x4’s before settling on the Tuscon as it had everything I needed and didn’t try to package it up in an overly fancy package. Affordable running costs are also a major selling point. Just a really good car.

Hyundai Grandeur 3.3 V6 4dr 2007
I’ve had this car just under 4 months now and I am very impressed with its performance so far. Its quite a fast car and very enjoyable to drive but remains a very practical car too. Excellent boot space and a very comfortable and spacious interior. It also comes with an impressive list of kit as standard and I especially like the large side mirrors and rear sensor making parking a doddle. A seriously good car.

Hyundai Terracan 4x4 2.9 CRDT 5dr 2006
We have 2 children and two lab dogs so needed something with a good amount of space. I didn’t want to be paying over the odds for a plush interior that was going to get some severe punishment, so the basic interior you get with the Terracan was perfect for us, but may not suit everyone. For the price it’s an amazingly adept car and seems to take everything in it’s stride. I’ve had no problems with it at all and have now had it for 12 months. Very good cost effective car to buy and run.

Yes it’s a Hyundai but look past the badge and you have a thrilling ride wrapped up in a stylish body that is extremely affordable. This is a cracking little car to drive and the V6 engine does not disappoint. Sniff at the badge if you want to but it’s your loss. Really, test drive it and then tell me it’s not a car you’d want to own!

If you’re snobbish about your car badges then you’re going to miss out on a very good 4x4 that really can hold it’s head up against the big boys. This car has real refinement and is very well built. The drive is exceptionally smooth and there is practically no noise in the cabin. A very composed and stylish car that has never let me down.

Hyundai Amica GSI 2006
I have had this car for 18 months and on the whole I have been delighted with it. It is economical to run, suprisingly roomy inside with 4 door access and can carry a reasonable load with the rear seats folded. The 1.1 engine is nippy and although very much a ’city car’ can move on the motorway. Even the narrow width has it’s advantages when passing on narrow country lanes or city streets. Negative points are poor resistance to side winds on the motorway, a reverse gear that sometimes is sticky and the fact that the front tyres wear fairly badly. So far no breakdowns have occured.

Hyundai Accent 5dr manual 2005
I have to say, this is a great car. i have driven it full time for over a year now, and its been rock solid. i’ve driven 130,000km since new and it hasnt skipped a beat. all the electrics still work fine, Especially the power windows. they always go up and down all day. the only thing wrong with this car is the suspension. whilst it is a comfortable ride, something i’ve noticed is its really sloppy around corners, (whilst going a reasonable pace.) would fully recommend it to everyone. My next car is definitely going to be a Hyundai!! Lucas from Western Australia

For the money this is a very good car. The fixed rear seat may put some people off but for me this wasn’t an issue. Very low running costs were and this car definately delivers in this area. This is really the wife’s car but it’s not unpleasant to nip around in and my sons likes it just because it’s the same name as the film!

I’ve had this company car for 3 months now and whilst it has plenty of space for a family of five and comes with plenty of kit as standard I’m not that impressed with the steering, which feels a bit vague and there’s quite a bit of body roll around corners. It’s not the best car I’ve ever driven by a long chalk but it’s not the worst. Average.

Hyundai Accent 1.4 Atlantic
The Accent is a good solidly buit car and the suspension gives a very comfortable ride. Whilst it’s quite nippy around town it does seem to struggle a little when you get on the motorway and the engine noise can get a little jarring. I bought this for the wife who doesn’t do too much long distance driving so it does the job I bought it for well but it’s not something I would want to drive over any distance. Other than that it’s a decently equipped city car.

This car comes with a 5 year warranty and a generous amount of kit. The safety features really sold it to me as it is used to ferry me and my two children about. Loads of space for toys, prams etc. I will conceed that it’s not the most exciting car to look at but it is very easy to drive and if you’re looking for something solid and practical then this is an excellent choice.

My husband bought this car purely because I needed something to take my children to school in and get around locally. It’s very cheap to run and I really like the good visibility, however, I don’t think I’d ever want to take it on the motorway, the handling isn’t very smooth, and I tend to wait until weekends when I can use my husbands car if I need to go any distance. Fine if you need something to tootle around in.

Hyundai Elantra 2.0 TD Si
Excellent motor car almost as big as a Mondeo or Vectra but half the money. I bought a second hand one for under £5k still with the balance of the manufacturers warranty. The 2.0 litre diesel is willing if a little noisy. It transport all in comfort and if driven sensibly returns very good economy. I have driven Hyundai's for 12 years and this is the best. Prone to aqua planing in poor weather but easing off the gas easily corrects. Sensible car for silly money and so far indestrucible.
