Hyundai Lantra Saloon (1995 - 2001) 1.6 GLSi 4d Auto (1997/R) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It says I'm not necessarily what I seem - no prejudice about disabled people please!! Just because I'm not going to run a marathon with two sticks doesn't mean I can't have a sporty looking car!

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

They really like it. It's been mistaken for a Toyota Celica.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I already have - this is my second! And I'll happily buy a third when the time comes (not too soon I hope - I'm skint!).

What are you likely to buy next?

Same again.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,250

When did you buy the car?

March 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a great deal I think because the mileage was incredibly low - it had just been used by one owner to go to the local shops and back!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I'd had the same car previously and found it to be the most comfortable car I'd ever come across which is important to me as i have rheumatoid arthritis.

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly, professional and I felt he was trustworthy.

What's it like to drive?

Really, really easy to drive. The gears change at appropriate times (not always the case with an automatic) and I rarely have to use a gear other than drive and reverse.

What's it like to park?

Great to park: the turning circle is good and the power steering is sufficiently light to make it easy, but not so light you don't feel in full control.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The odd bits have gone wrong but nothing serious. It has lived up to my expectations in every way except one - the central locking doesn't work from inside the car.

What's most practical about your car?

For me it's the comfort level. I don't get sore when driving it, meaning I can drive safely and thoroughly enjoy it.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The CD player! Never had one in the car before
