Hyundai Coupe 1.6 S 3d (2004/04) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Where else can you get a Coupe without breaking the bank? Even the top of the range model is far from OTT - far cheaper than the RX8 or the Celica - the main rivals.
Costs
As it's very new, I haven't had it serviced yet I can't comment on this, but the fuel consumption is very good.

On the road
Driving
If you want decent acceleration then this is a tad slow from 0-60 but once there it does what you'd expect it to. Cornering is extremely secure (it sticks like glue).
Performance
Performance is fine - shame the 1.6s is a tad slow 0-60.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable - again the best car I've had, even better the Mazda I had.
Image
Very stylish looks. My kids call it the BATMOBILE! Cheek!
Comfort
For the front passengers the cockpit area is well appointed, but the shape of the roof makes it too low for adults to sit in the back. Air-con (fitted as standard) is very efficiet, but very thirsty.

Security and Service
