Summary
What does this car say about you?
Practical, frugal, sensible.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like it. The car is styled nicely and does not look quirky like some of my previous cars. Its just a regular car in a regular colour.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would buy this car again although my wife would want the auto version, but then I would lose the cheap car tax.
What are you likely to buy next?
Probably a bigger Hyundai to replace our larger family car. She drove an i20 recently and liked that a lot. We have i30s at work so that could be a possible too.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£6,495
When did you buy the car?
March 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
I did get a good deal as the car was pre-reg and part of a local dealer promotion. The trade in for my load of old junk was also reasonable.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
5 year warranty, only £20 per year tax, good deal as pre-reg by dealer.
What was the dealer like?
An old school salesman who was knowledgeable, attentive and helpful without pressurising. When we did encounter a problem early on after buying the car he was excellent, delivering courtesy car and running my wife to work.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very good around town, tight turning circle, very easy to park. Noisy on the motorway but with a decent size engine it coped fine.
What's it like to park?
A breeze, small spaces are snapped up. No more driving by to find a bigger one. This fits in anywhere.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing mechanical. The only problem was the spare key they supplied did not actually fit this car.
What's most practical about your car?
Proper 5 door car but very small and easy to park at my local train station where I commute from each day.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Excellent aircon, which was standard.
