    What does this car say about you?

    Probably that I couldn't give a stuff about the badge on the front and can make up my own mind. This is quite correct - I don't and I can!

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

    Well, nobody has said anything nasty. It is quite an anonymous car, which is just fine.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Probably not as it's an end-of-line, but I'll certainly look at Hyundai's offerings in 3 years; they're always good value and the dealership I go to is excellent.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Probably another Hyundai. At the very least I'll check out their offerings first.

  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Certainly nippy enough in town but takes a while to get to speed on motorways, although once there very quiet.

    What's it like to park?

    It has a Focus-like bulbous rear which means a little thought has to go in when reversing in. On the whole, it's quite easy.
