Hyundai Amica (06-09) - Review

Review by Ben Wall on
Amica is one of the cheapest cars on sale in the UK, so expectations for comfort and performance shouldn't be too high. But it is easy to drive around town and - thanks to light steering and a tight turning circle - is a doddle to park. Another big benefit, if you buy new, is a five-year warranty. It adds real piece of mind and, considering how cheap the Amica is, makes it exceptionally good value.

Comfort

The front seats offer only basic adjustment and the steering wheel does not adjust at all, leaving little scope to adjust the driving position - you either fit or you don't. There's not much leg room in the back either, although head room is quite generous. Features like air conditioning and electric front windows are available on some models, which make for more comfortable driving.

Practicality

The boot is very small, but the back seats split 50/50 and fold for carrying larger items. The rear speakers sit parallel with the parcel shelf and are the limiting factor in the ultimate space available. The CDX model benefits from storage drawers fitted below each front seat.

Behind the wheel

There's good visibility in all directions from the driver's seat, and the controls are all simple to use and easy to reach. The indicator stalk is on the right, unlike 99% of cars sold in the UK, but that leaves the left hand free to stir the gear lever.
