They can see why we bought it and it has done its job well.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I wouldn't buy this car again as it's no longer made but I would like another Hyundai.

A seven seater Hyundai.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,995

When did you buy the car?

November 2003

Did you get a good deal and why?

Car looked very good in the showroom but the roof had thousands of scratches that you could see in the light. Also had brakes that juddered and tracking so far out that it was wearing tyres quickly and handling was dangerous.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It was cheap for its age, mileage and specification.

What was the dealer like?

Not very good, had front discs replaced for free but went else where to get the tracking sorted. Typical Northern Service.

What's it like to drive?

Very good for Hyundia, better then the Elantra. Engine is very quiet, road rumble a little but not that bad. Handling is great as the Estate has stiffer suspension.

What's it like to park?

Very easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Once I got the problems sorted the car has never had any faults. Its like having Toyota reliability but not paying the price.

What's most practical about your car?

Its an Estate so very practical.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Electric everything, aircon and 6 CD Changer.
