Front wheel bearing (off side) has just been replaced.

Drivers seat worn due to heavy use.

Original battery lasted 10 years!

We bought this car new after being almost bankrupted by a demon dog of a 2.5 litre Ford Probe.

We needed a car that was ultra reliable and good looking, with fair to middling performance, and a three year warranty.

This little lady is now 13 years old, has done 157000 miles, does 430 miles to a tank of petrol, and has been the most reliable car we have ever had.

It's been to Spain twice, France, Scotland, Cornwall, and has now been relegated to my work hack, and is used every week day.

Faults:

Clutch slave cylinder seized, due to previous owner topping up the reservoir with water!!!

Electric aerial failed.

Driver side electric window drive cable snapped.

General Comments:

Love it! For a 1.6 the performance is very good. Handles like a dream.

Not really a family car, as there is very little room in the back seats.

I do all my own maintenance, and I must say it is very straightforward on this model.

Lately I have noticed rust on the sunroof, which is cause for concern.

Electric aerial went, but was easy to replace with a good value one from Maplin.

Otherwise, it has worn well for what is now a 11 year old car. Used a local dealer to fix electric window drive cable - service was very good value and second to none. Would like to buy the current model (or the Genesis) though!!!

Faults:

Only needed a light bulb apart from the regular service it requires every 10,000 miles.

General Comments:

A very good car. Great looks, a real head turner, could be quicker and maybe smoother but overall I'm very pleased with the car and would buy another when the time comes. Very good value for money.

Faults:

Great looking car, people still turn their heads. But it squeaks and rattles most of the time now (after 35,000 miles). Interior light bulbs keep overheating and burning out, mirror defrost doesn't work, headlight bulbs (I'm on my third set and I don't drive that much at night).

General Comments:

Overall, great car, great looks, very poor build quality. Shame, but I won't get another one.

Faults:

Absolutely nothing in 7,000 miles from new so far!

General Comments:

Excellent MPV. Cabin is very versatile, comfortable, light and airy. Performance for the size of the vehicle is excellent. However, it took a few thousand before the running process allowed it to rev freely. On the German Autobahn I have had it up to an indicated 118 easily. Faster than the road tests indicate. Fuel consumption is moderate. An excellent, good value buy. Don't buy a Ford, these hold their value much better!!!!

Faults:

Nothing bar a theft of the CD Player.

General Comments:

I love the looks of the Car. It definitely is a great looking car, one of the best I've seen and the standard specification is excellent. Build quality is a great improvement over previous Hyundai cars but is still not perfect. Having said that I rate it far higher than a lot of other coupes in terms of looks and value. Could do with a bit more power though to match the appearance.

Faults:

Nothing, but then again it's only 3 months old.

General Comments:

I love it!! People get their necks out of joint trying to look at it. The attention it gets is amazing, you might think that you were driving a Ferrari.

Great handling (suspension tuned by Porsche), I just wish I would have gotten the 2 liter engine. I am now a loyal Hyundai fan. This car is nothing like the old Hyundai's, and review in mags is great.
