Hyundai Coupe (1996 - 2002) 2.0 16V SE 3d Auto (1998/S) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Someone with a good taste in cars and knows a decent motor when they see one!! A lot of car for the money!!!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all liked it, but friends did give me the "washing machine" jokes, being made by Hyundai and all!!!

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would buy this car again - but for one reason. The security really isn't upto modern day standards. Mine was stolen and has been replaced by another car now. This car hasn't got deadlocks and the door locks are easy to get into also.

What are you likely to buy next?

I've already bought another sports coupe, a Ford Cougar V6

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,450

When did you buy the car?

August 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes I got a good deal. You get a LOT of car for your money with these. The handling was fantastic, like a go-kart!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Bought this car as I loved the styling of it, and because I wanted something reasonably sporty but not too poor on fuel!

What was the dealer like?

Didn't buy from a dealer

What's it like to drive?

Brilliant car to drive, put a smile on my face and they are real head-turners with the styling of them! Can't say I like the facelift models with the bug-eyed look though!

What's it like to park?

Easy to park, but rear visibility has to be watched. Front visibility is great though!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing broke down on the car after I owned it!! It was really a fantastic car to look at and drive!!

What's most practical about your car?

It was a really decent size of boot for a smallish coupe. I work as a mobile DJ, and managed to fit a complete disco rig in the back with the seats down!!
