Hyundai ix35 (2010 - 2015) 2.0 CRDi Premium (Media Pack) 2WD 5d (2010/60) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It says that am not a badge snob, but someone who knows a good car when he see's one.

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

Two of my friends liked the car that much they bought two from the same dealer. One of my friends was so impressed he part exchanged a one year old Jaguar XF for the ix35. What better recommendation can you have than that?

Would you buy this car again and why?

I will be buying the face lifted version when it comes on the market.

What are you likely to buy next?

The same again. Just waiting for the new face lifted one to become available.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£21,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

They gave me an excellent price for my old car. One of the most professional salesman I have ever dealt with.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I liked the look of it. It has loads of equipment. A good sized boot & plenty of room for passengers. It has an excellent warranty.

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was excellent, so good that I recommended them to friends who also bought cars from them.

What's it like to drive?

I regularly take the car on the continent, driving up to 500 miles a day. At the end I still feel comfortable and fresh. On the Autobahns in Germany I set my Cruise Control to 100 mph and away we go.

What's it like to park?

My car has a rear view camera and warning bleepers in the rear bumper. Along with the light steering makes the car very easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The only trouble that I have had has been with the Sat Nav. But again the dealer and Hyundai have been great. The Sat Nav is now working perfect. The rest of the car has been faultless.

What's most practical about your car?

There is plenty of passenger space. The ride is comfortable but gripes the road well, giving you plenty of confidence when taking bends at speed. The boot is a good size with a full size alloy spare wheel. The standard equipment is outstanding for the price of the car. Some things like heated front & rear seats you don't get on premium priced cars.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The sat Nav is the only thing that has ever been wrong with the car and that has been rectified.
