Hyundai Coupé (02-09) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 22 February 2007 Last Updated: 26 January 2009 Launched in 2002, the Hyundai Coupe is a sleek and stylish two-door that still looks good today. It's undergone a few tweaks over the years but is still an affordable and well equipped coupe that's surprisingly practical with useable rear seats and a decent-sized boot. There are few alternatives available for the money and now in its third incarnation (hence the new SIII name) it comes with an improved and more upmarket interior. Sadly the engine line-up is lacklustre and none of the units offers genuine performance while the steering lacks the responsiveness of a true sports coupe. But with low running costs, generous standard kit and a five-year warranty as standard, the Coupe is an attractive package. 3 out of 5 Other Hyundai reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £15,145 - £20,560 Used price range: £976 - £8,995 View all used prices Get a Hyundai Coupé (02-09) information pack Next steps Hyundai Coupé cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
