In their own words

I liked the look of this car both inside and out and it came highly recomended. After watching a number of reviews on Youtube, I thought I'd have a test drive. I felt it was rather expensive for a Hyundai but buying on a PCP, a deal was offered which suited my budget. Unfortunately it has taken 3000 miles of driving for me to realise this car does not match up to my 2017 Honda CRV. The ride is very uncomfortbale with every bump on the road transfering through the seats. The tech appears to be brilliant but the speed sign recognition often gets it wrong and at one time told me the limit was 80mph on a 60mph road. I've on a number of ocassion been driving on 60mph roads and the car wrongly tells me it should be 40mph. I never had this problem on my Honda. The tailgate does not always respond to the close command on the keyfob. After 3000 miles I am averaging 32/33 mpg, which I feel is awful for what is described as a "mild" Hybrid. My Honda 1.6 diesel averaged 42 mpg. Good points? It does look good, it's spacious inside and the tech (when it works) is great. I love having a panoramic sunroof that opens and the pop up sun blinds on the rear windows are a nice touch but would I buy another one? The answer is, definately no.
