Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I've owned this car for just over 5 years now. Got it with 28000 on the clock, now at just over 56000. Although it has never broken down, it has had minor niggly issues that I've never had with any other car, that have needed garage attention. So it has been a minor annoyance having to visit the local garage more often than I would like. So not the bulletproof reliability I would have expected from Hyundai. Plus sides is it is reasonably quiet although road noise can be an issue on some surfaces, and it is spacious inside and has the driving feel of a much larger car. I also find it a comfortable car to drive on longer motorway journeys.

How reliable do you find the car?

Annoying niggly issues and minor problems. Bonnet catch jammed, now on 3rd aircon unit since new. Drop link and suspension issues, window washer pump failure due to leaking. And now getting intermittent hard brake pedal or resistance when braking. The car has never broken down, but just feels its been in the garage more often than i would like

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Comfortable enough and reasonably quiet and economical
