Hyundai Amica (2000 - 2003) 1.0 GSi 5d (2000/X) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

If its yellow, then I don't really know???

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

Most people found it hard to get past the yellow.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Circumstances have changed, and so has Hyundai's model range. But if the same sort of car was required, then the Hyundai i10 would be a probable choice.

What are you likely to buy next?

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£7,000

When did you buy the car?

April 2000

Did you get a good deal and why?

Good discount was given on an already cheap car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It was originally bought as a the families first ever "second car", intended only for short trips. So its price and size was ideal.

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly, and helpful. But completely amazed that anyone would want a yellow car.

What's it like to drive?

Obviously its not very fast. It is also quite tall so it tends to roll in corners quite a lot. But that is not what its designed for. The only real criticism would be that the brakes were just too soft. Especially if there is more than one person in the car.

What's it like to park?

Carlsberg dont do car parking, but if they did....Its incredibly easy. The car is tiny, with the wheels at the corners, the driving position is high, visibility is excellent and there is power steering.

Have you had any problems with the car?

It was driven quite a lot for seven years, including being used as a learner car for a 17 year old male. Despite this nothing ever went wrong. Not even a flat tyre.

What's most practical about your car?

Despite its size it can carry five people at a push. It is also extremely cheap to run.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

It really is not a gadget kind of car.
