Car Forum / UK Car Forums / Car Modifications (UK group) / June 2008Hyundai Coupe 2.0 SIII Mini Review
Bit of a laugh, this one. Not as sh.t as you'd expect, with pretty decent quality materials and screwed together well. Gear stick needs changing for a leather knob rather than cheap plastic. Leather seats comfy, hold you in well and very adustable. Goes well-ish, handing was sharp and steering well weighted. Head unit was sh.t, though. Summary: cheap enough to be tempting, but probably not top of the list.

V6 gets hammered with tax and the base 1.6 is outgunned by a micra. Not a bad car for cruising.... next version may be RWD but looks worse >In article <1ij99d2.j2z22b17ctqrdN%steve@italiancar.co.uk>, SteveH >says...

It's unlikely to be sold in UK in any quantity, could be as few as 500/year as a "halo" model. There will be a FWD replacement for the coupe in a few years.

I was looking at a 2lt, although I could possibly get a 2.7 passed - however, the SIII 2.7 is a rare beast, as it's now no longer available in the UK. In terms of price - they'd dropped the pre-reg cars by £7k from list before I'd asked for a discount - however, that doesn't look good in terms of residual values. A 2 year old V6 auto comes in at around £10k, if I can find one.
