I got a Hyundai Coupe 2.0 Auto (Tiptronic) 2005 (face lift model).
Ive had various sports cars but i have to say i love this one.
Its the Met Blue with Black Leather with red stitching with all the gadgets
PROS
Stunning to look at
Its comfortable
massive boot
Nice big wing mirrors
Economical
0-60 in about 8 seconds
I have had it a year now and not one squeak or rattle has appeared. Is a very well built car
Touch wood it has never let me down once.
Sun Glasses holder
Nets at the back of the seats
Little compartments everywhere
Excellent handling
CONS
No good if your over 5ft 11, you will hit your head on the sloping roof.
two seats in the back are not very big not suitable for two adults.
Its not the fastest car ive had but get the revs right and it does go. The only downside is that it has a flat spot at 3000 revs and 40mph, get it below 3000 put your foot down and your fine (you will get to work with that). It will pi**s all over the Toyota Celica and similar coupes
Because it is a Hyundai they depreciate quite rapidly (but that may change)
The reason i bought a Hyundai is because i think the Coupe is a stunning car and you get the 5 years warranty and 3 years RAC breakdown cover (inc Europe) thrown in.
It is a proven headturner!

I like them a lot. I like the styling, they handle very well. I have driven one at over 200km/hr (smooth as silk) I drove the six cylinder Auto (tiptronic) in the slush (3 inches) and hit a sharp bend in the road at 140km/hr or 85miles per hour, downshifted twice (click, click with the tiptronic into third) and whipped around the corner without any drifting. They cruise easily at high speeds and have an even torque band. A few years ago, a Porsche boxster, 6cy Coupe and Corvette raced around a track and the Coupe came in second a second behind the Porsche. It's been 5 years since the new style Coupe so all the bugs have been worked out. The exterior has changed this year, but mechanically the car is the same, but smoother. I consider to be as good as the Japanese if not better considering the standard options. Hyundai's are very good quality, and continue to improve year after year. It wouldn't surprise me if they become the number 1 car company in the world, as the attitude towards them is changing. If your considering getting a used one, I wouldn't get one before 2005 as they did have trouble with the electric motors (sunroofs and windows). My good friend is a parts manager at a dealership, so I have driven many of them as he gets a new demo every three months. Even if your considering getting a used model, go to the dealership and take out a used one ( if they have) or a new one to see if you like it. After all your the one that makes the ultimate decision.

it's a very nice car to drive.
we've only had a couple of problems with ours, the motors burnt out on the electric windows and had to be replaced. It also shudders when you pull away in first gear, apparently this is a trait of the coupes.
but all in all it's been a nice car. and you get a good warranty with Hyundai

Your right it does look good I was thinking of buying one but changed my mind,as I knew someone who had to wait an age for a part when theirs went wrong.
Hope you find a good car best of luck

You mean the Tiburon? i could like to have a style of! i think of it may be super to have one, as long because it had a V6. I had a buddy who became an extremely "badass" male, and his vehicle became a Tiburon.
