No..the diesel engine is thirsty and underpowered, and the Koreans dont do another Diesel engine apart from the 2.9. Not a good variety of engines to choose from....avoid....

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The auto box was smooth, but it was let down by a noisy underpowerd diesel engine which had not torque at all. On the motorway it seemed to be fine but around town it drove like a transit van.
What's it like to park?
Hard at night due to the blacked out windows.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only had for 3 weeks..the engine management light kept coming on every morning for about 3 seconds but in them 3 seconds the brakes and steering would lock up...a bit dangerous and not a good sign considering the car had only covered 29k miles.
What's most practical about your car?
the space inside and the blacked out rear glass gave it a slight bling look.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The two captains chairs behind the driver and passenger which rotate to face the back row, they fully recline into a bed style and were very comfortable.
