    My car

    Beware! I drive this as my husbands car. Having seen it in the showroom 3 years ago this looked like an ideal family car; we liked the idea of a 4x4 but at a reasonable price and as they pre-registered it for us, it came in on budget. The interior, whilst having the luxury of heated seats in the front, is "plastic-y" and the gearstick top falls off constantly. Having tried camping last summer, as a family of four, the boot space does not allow room for a tent AND clothes! Initially, yes, we loved the car; heated seats, cabin space etc, however having lived with it now for 3 years, it's not a car I would buy again. Every service / MOT has resulted in something "major" going wrong. To say the car is only 3 years old it has had serious faults in the last 18 months - all resulting in loss of power on busy roads. Last Sunday the engine set on fire on the busy A38 in Derby. Having hauled our young children out of the smokey car and onto a busy road verge, (3 fire engines, 2 police cars and an incident unit van), and a 7 hour delay to get home, Hyundai's answer was "sorry the "regular" 10k service wasn't done on time so the warranty is null and void; over £4000 please... oh and we dont have an engine in the UK"... my husband has done 98k miles in 3 years... that's over 3 services a year! To be honest I spent £2500 less on a 1 series BMW and its far more suited to safer, more comfortable driving, luxury, economy on fuel, family space and, if Im honest, a bit more street cred!

    My car

    I've owned this car now for a couple of years. I have to say that it has never been a car that I have considered to be particularly good looking. The bonnet/hood in particular is funky looking. But, it's not horribly ugly. It's OK to drive, although it is sloppy around corners. It's great for long distance motorway driving, quiet and comfortable. It isn't overloaded with power, but it's certainly powerful enough for hauling around a family of four without any problems. It's very reliable, and we've never had any problems with it. When you compare this with any other compact SUV, it has to come out on top - cheap, functional and well equipped. My one and only criticism is fuel consumption. It doesn't even get close to the figures published, no matter how carefully you drive it.
