Nope,don't do anything for me,the question is how do they go?
Compared to a 2.2 Dohc Vtec motor vehicle?
They sell quite well down here,not a young folks car more though mostly middle age like myself :lol: thats targeted with it.
Also similar popular cars at the moment here are the slightly older Mazda 3 Mps and the new Nissan Pulsar SSS turbo(bit of useless info) but in the same bracket.
I can see a bit of Opel and Mazda in the design,particularly the rear,got the OPC Astra on sale here too,not pushed on their shape either.
I just struggle with new cars and their designs sometimes,sorry :P

Honestly, i was surprised by this car, it is very funny and it is easy to have fun with it.

But it isn't a "sport car", the global performances are not in adequation with the outfit but we don't care :D

It is fun and my wife is very happy to drive it every day , previoulsy, she owned a 2.2 vtec 4th gen Prelude and didn't miss it ( even if she says it was a good car, but too low for her).

Well, in conclusion, an honest "daily drive" with the ability of put a smile on your face after a long and boring work day ! :D

p.s: one little funny detail, there's only one door on the left side and two on the right side :lol:

Honestly i never noticed that!i suppose they try hide the handles so much these days it's easy to miss,wonder how many back seat passengers still walk round to get in that side though :lol:

Yes, the handle is on the upper side of the door and is'nt painted, so it is a little hard to see it :lol:

There's some funny promotional videos from Hyundai on YouTube, promoting this conception of having only one door on the driver side, if i find them, i'll post the links ;)
