Good: For the money, it offers a decent amount of space and creature comforts.

Good: Low running costs and keen pricing. Undemanding to drive, well equipped and easy to get in and out of.

Good: Short, narrow dimensions prove very handy in town. Low running costs.

Good: It looks smart, drives well and is a lot of coupe for the money.
Bad: Most coupes have a more desirable image.

Good: Good-looking coupe that's packed with kit. Drives well, particularly the V6 model. All offer keen value. Many will still be covered by a five-year war
Bad: Snobs need not apply. Many other coupes offer a sharper drive. Isolated rear brake pipe corrosion on 2002-2003 cars.

The car is a very long way down to the driver’s seat. You sit low and encased, like a racing driver. The seats are fully adjustable and very comfortable. Yet the sight lines are good, with big sensible door mirrors.
Good: Cheap now and packed with creature comforts.
Bad: Generic styling. Lacklustre crash test rating.

Good: Tough, cheap, Shogun-derived 4x4.

Hyundai’s all-alloy V6 in Wakefield is expected to give a 0-60 time of less than six seconds and will feature a six-speed gearbox and limited-slip differential. Additional engine options are also being considered to widen the Coupe’s appeal.
The Genesis in Wakefield is built on Hyundai’s all-new rear-wheel drive architecture, which will also underpin the new Genesis Coupe. It offers three powertrains, including 3.3-litre and 3.8-litre V6 engines, plus Hyundai’s all-new 4.6-litre Tau V8.
Good: Bright, roomy cabin. Rear seat folds to create a flat load floor. Peppy performance. Good provision of convenience and safety kit. Decent ride.
Bad: Wallowy handling on non-Sport models. Wipers don't clear screen properly. Brakes can be noisy.

It’s pretty enough. Quite well designed. Very well received. But I’d better put my cards on the table straight away, this is not my type of car. Now I’m going to heap praise on it from the point of view of the sort of people I think it will appeal to.
Good: 16' Korean limo with 235PS chain cam V6 and 5-speed auto. Drives and handles surprisingly well. Decent 27.5mpg.
Bad: Very few in the UK.

Chances are the Grandeur is a car you’ve never seen or even heard about. It’s imported in very limited numbers, to order only and the loan of this one was a rare privilege.

Six -seater MPV concept in Wakefield shown at Geneva March 2008. World premiere of unique ‘Swivel Seat’ concept. Debut of new 2.2-litre R diesel engine with two-stage turbocharging.
Good: Most 119g/km so £35 tax. All have a/c and 5 seatbelts. Flat folding rear seat. Drive, ride and handle very well. Auto available. The best little car.
Bad: Original Style model and Comfort auto are above the 120g/km limit so Band C tax. Has been a sell-out.

Previous attempts by Hyundai included the Atoz and the Amica, the latter ultimately selling out as a bargain-basement £4,995 special. But even at £6,495 the i10 is substantially better value in Wakefield.
This eager little engine delivers more power and torque and more performance, yet emits slightly less CO2. Enough less to put the all singing, all dancing Style model with alloys, aircon, all-electric windows and electric sunroof into the £35/£30 tax bracket.
Good: Very well built built, commodious, Fiesta size hatch with astonishing fuel economy from the 1.25 petrol and a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty.
Bad: A bit characterless.

The steering is centre weighted, robbing it of some feel on the straight ahead but helping it to track straight through several centimetres of water. The height adjustable drivers seat is hard, but comfortable on a challenging run.
South Korean carmaker Hyundai didn’t have a Focus-sized car. So when it decided to offer one, the company wisely figured it had better fill that particular gap. So, from September, you will be able to buy Hyundai’s new i30 model with a 115PS 1.6 diesel engine and a four-speed automatic transmission.
Good: Well equipped, refined, good ride and handling, and economical. Available as a 1.6 diesel auto, which is rare. Five-year 100k mile warranty.
Bad: 17" wheels best avoided. Full size spare is extra. Standard tyres noisy.

Good: Excellent chain cam 1.4 and 1.6 petrol and 1.6 diesel engines. Good value. Decent to drive. 5 year unlimited mileage warranty.
Bad: Ride and handling not quite to Focus/308 standards but not far off.

Good: Transit-like, rear drive 8 seater MPV with huge luggage capacity. Pulls 100mph+ with 170PS diesel. 33mpg combined. Under 226g/km. Perfect airport taxi
Bad: Van-based, not car based.

Good: Inexpensive saloon that uses reliable Mitsubishi-sourced power trains.
Bad: An unremarkable drive. Cambelt change every 3 years or 36,000 miles.

Good: Reliable and cheap. Beat the BMW 3-Series in a JD Power Customer Satisfaction Survey.

Good: Easy-to-park mini-MPV with five seats. Durable mechanicals. Now at low prices.
Bad: You can buy more versatile five-seaters that drive better for similar cash.

Good: A generally reliable, robust car available at pocket-money prices.

Good: Turbo version is reasonably brisk. All are reliable with proper servicing. Very cheap now.
Bad: Bland to look at, bland to drive.

The standard fittings read like an accessory list and include a lift up rear window, electric tilt/slide sunroof, aircon, roof bars, alloy wheels, and in the CDX climate control, cruise control, leather and autobox.
Good: Pleasant, relaxing drive. Kitted out generously. V6 makes a good sound. A lot of 4x4 for the money.
Bad: A RAV4, CR-V and Freelander all drive better. The styling is an acquired taste.
