Reliability
Never broken down. Gear box is awful especially 2, 4 and reverse. constant crunch. Lots of repairs and ultimately Hyundai have told me it's a characteristic of the car! Also serious rust problems under bonnet. Window wind noise faults. Poor paintwork.

Not really an issue at the price.
Comfort
Seats just about right. Good upfront leg room, same can't be said for back in 3 door model.

Service
Hyundai UK refuse to repair a common faulty gearbox, with constant gear box repairs which last around 2 weeks, very upseting as it makes driving a curse!
