Hyundai Coupe 2.0 16V SE 3d (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent second hand buy. Loaded with equipment and some amusing, yet useful, extras.
Costs
Not had it long enough to find out yet, however 40k service is pretty expensive. Tyres are cheap (for the size) at about £50 each for decent rubber. Fuel tank a little on the small side at only 10 gallons.

On the road
Driving
Very sure footed. Firm, responsive suspension. A car you can actually enjoy driving. Cruise control useful on motorways and in speed trap zones.
Performance
Not the same fireworks as with a Primera GT, but still good nonetheless. Shame Hyundai stopped at a 2l engine.

Living with it
Reliability
Not had the car long enough to find out, but the service history with the car makes it look promising.
Image
Usual (female) comment is "wow, I love the car".
Comfort
Rear seat space not impressive, however who cares when you're driving? Cruise and air-con make a welcome addition. Capable enough sound system.

Security
Previous owner had added a Toad Cat 1 alarm/ mmobiliser so not sure what the standard system is like.
