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

In their own words

A very reliable, well built if not terribly exciting medium sized hatchback. A great choice for the pragmatic buyer who isn't swayed by badge snobbery and I've had a number of VAG cars over the years. The only negatives are a bit too much road noise which I understand is less of a problem on the non 17 inch wheels our car has and having to remove the headlight to change the bulbs. Our next car will be a i30 1.4 t-gdi N line. Well done Hyundai.

How reliable do you find the car?

The only two issues we've had in 6 years of ownership were a flat battery cause don't by an interior light being left on and a faulty spark plug which kept working loose. Both have caused no further issue since being replaced.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

The build quality has shown itself to be very good. Nothing has broken and there are no squeaks or rattles in the cabin.
