Really good visibility, but a bit cramped for long journeys.

Around town, below 50mph it's brilliant. On motorway it really stuggles.

Reliability
Most Amicas I have seen with the chrome effect grille have rust. I was told this was a design flaw and is covered under warranty. Only real mechanical problem was engine management software needed updating, because it ran badly until it warmed up.

It's my girlfriends car and she loves its cheeky appeal. I though feel a bit of a ponce when driving it!
Comfort
For such a small car there is tonnes of room for 4 people.

Has immobiliser but that's it, no alarm, no dealocks etc.
Service
Problem with grille has taken endless visits to sort out and is still not sorted. Hyundai UK have been very little help in sorting out the problem.
