Hyundai Matrix 3.0 crd overland 2006

5 star review

I bought mine new 3 yrs ago and it’s been totally fault free. Gives plenty of power and manages 27.5 mpg around town, 32mpg on a run down to France. The spec is exellent for the money. X5’s & range rover sports are very nice but worth an additional £15k... I dont think so.

Hyundai Matrix 2008

4 star review

You might feel its made from baked bean tins but it’s great value for money as a secondhand buy. Flexible seating, pleasant interior and a nippy engine. Main dealer costs are high, over £550 for service, cam belt and brake pads, but mine is now out of warranty so I will do my own servicing. Little drawers, cubby holes and stowage everywhere, fold down minitables on seatbacks too. Great as a second car for local work but I would not want to drive long motorway distances. Forward visibilty takes some getting used to with front pillars being a bit intrusive. I would not want to pay full price for a new car but £4k for a 27k mileage with fsh is good value.

4 star review

Can’t really fault it. Not a lot of street cred, but a great workhorse. I would probably have another if they updated it a bit but I can see no change at all in the last few years...

Hyundai Matrix auto 1.6. 2006

5 star review

Wow wasn’t expecting much, only got it because of the long warranty. However cannot slate it, it is on the button all times, ride is good seat adjusts good, leg room it back fantastic. Auto box not sluggish only thing needs is a tweek on the engine to pull away that bit quicker. Summery great bargin.

Hyundai Matrix 1.5 CRTD GSi

4 star review

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!
