sports car looks without the price

What was the dealer like?

very friendly, helpful and not at all pushy. was a Hyundai dealer

What's it like to drive?

drives like new even as a 53 plate, very quiet well refined ride, handles and stops well too. Need to hit about 4000rpm to get the power out of it. Best car ive ever driven.

What's it like to park?

not the easiest, rear visibility sucks and not being able to see the bonnet on such a long car doesnt help much either.

Have you had any problems with the car?

battery went flat a month after owning but so far its proved very reliable.

What's most practical about your car?

not the car thats designed for practicality, does have a huge boot but getting four people in can be a squeeze. MPG really sucks if its pushed, have had between 25-40 mpg. A trip to london and back averaged 38mpg.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

quite a fan of the cruise control, leather seats very comfy
