Hyundai Coupe 2.0 SE Manual 2005

I bought my coupe a few years back and I have had no problems. It really is a great looking car, however, it took me quite a while to get used to the clutch, it lacks bite and can over-rev at times. I think Hyundai make their cars with durable components that may lack a bit of the sporty feel you may get in other cars. The gearbox is smooth but for a 2.0 injection modern car it does lack a bit of bottom end power but once out on the open road it’s a nice drive. Obviously compared to an RX-8 or a TT it hasn’t got the performance but on the flip side the insurance group is 10 and the fuel economy is acceptable, plus the fact they are very cheap to buy. Around town is not good, however, on fuel consumption,I find it best cruising on the motorway about 80mph. The cruise control option is pointless in a "sportscar", that could have been dropped in place of a better sound system. Overall I’m happy but still think it lacks something. I guess that’s what I have Sportsbikes for.

Update on my high clutch issue: It actually was slipping due to wear and tear and has just cost me £515.00 to have replaced...after 29,000 miles!I only had it serviced 1,500 miles ago aswell at a cost of £379.00. Hyundai certainly do make their money somehow don’t they?...- Damian from England

Hyundai Coupe 2.0 S111 2009

Had this car a week now. Love it! Hyundai are/were selling these off at a deal as the new Genesis 2.7 V6 are going to replace the S111. Read a lot of conflicting reports on this car, some good, some bad. Top Gear seem to dislike it, but then again unless it’s a Ferrari or a Lambourgini... they’re not interested! Overall, very smooth drive. Smooth gearbox and clutch. Suspension is a little harder than I would have liked and I have got used to the high clutch pedal that every other review seems to complain about. A little annoying that I have to use the key to open the hatch, apart from having to open the drivers door to operate the lever. Hyundai should/could have included this on the remote key fob? MPG is lower than stated. I’m averaging 29mpg... and most of my miles are on the motorway. In summary... yes, for the money I guess I could have got a good 2nd hand Golf, or a decent Mazda RX8. But there are not many opportunities to buy a brand spanking new car of this calibre for £12,995!!

Hyundai Coupe s!!! 2.0l 2007

The car, which I have had for over two years, is the best thing I have ever purchased. I have had it two years now from new and apart from a gearbox problem which Hyundai fixed in a week and gave me a curteousy car free of charge there hasn’t been another problem. Like everybody says it’s not blisteringly quick by any means but it is fast enough. The handling is sublime on anything but a pot hole invested road when you do feel the thud through your arse and stearing wheel. The interior is mega cool, I have a slight scuff on the passengers side support where people get in and out of the back seats, this is because the acces to the rear seats is small and really you can’t put anybody over 5ft in the back as there head will bounce off the tailgate glass (my only gripe about the car really).

Hyundai Coupe 1.6S 2005

3yrs old, 9K miles, one owner, immaculate, balance of 5yr warranty, for £7K. It turns heads every single minute of every single day. Quite simply beautiful. The seats are low and you tend to fall into them and struggle to get out. The ride is harsh and the fuel economy only OK. However, this car gets you out of bed, scrubbed up and ready to drive anywhere. It simply makes you smile and want to carry on. Recommended to everybody who wants quality at a fair price. Our previous Hyundai gave us seven years of trouble free motoring and that was three years old when we purchased that. I love this car!!

Hyundai Coupe 2000 S111 2009

Had this car 4 weeks now and I love it. Opted for white and she looks fabulous. Anyone that has a remote interest in sports cars gives her a second and third glance - don’t think they know what the car is til they look at the badge! Found the high clutch hard for all of a day after having an old style Toyota Celica SR but she is a dream to drive. Bought mine off the internet having NOT test drove one but saving about 2k on price and can honestly say its the best impulse buy I’ve ever made. Always had Toyotas for passed 10 years but think this baby has changed my mind. I look forward to driving her every day and even the kids have dissed the Toyota Rav in favour of the Coupe.

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 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 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 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 Coupe 2 litre 2008

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; the leather seats and electric sunroof make this car extra special; sound system is pretty decent with the iPod control keeping it bang up to date; 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! (that’s exactly what I do!) By far the best car I have ever owned! You can be sure my next car will be another Hyundai Coupe! Stunning!

Hyundai Coupe 2002

I have had my 2se coupe for over five years and have not had any faults apart from a window winder mechanism which was quickly fixed under the five year warranty. I will probably purchase a more up to date model soon.

Hyundai Coupe S111 2007

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 Coupe 2.7 V6 SIII 2dr 2006

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!

Hyundai Coupe 2.7 V6 2007

This is a nice, affordable coupe that doesn’t look in the least bit cheap. The interiors are smart and stylish with excellent kit included. An excellent rival to other more popular coupes. Brilliant drive too.
