not a bad car i dont think
Hmmm. There's a joint Skoda-Hyundai franchise in Coventry that services our Fabia, and their courtesy cars are Hyundais. They lent us a Matrix (compact MPV thingy) once that was ugly and plasticky but rather fun. But in those days I'd slipped into the view that there are no bad cars nowadays - until they lent me an Accent.
Driving this thing home, I found myself looking ahead for bumps and drain covers, so that I could avoid the pain of driving over them - the car didn't just bump, it felt as if it might do itself, and me, serious structural damage. Smoother, faster roads were no better - it was slow, noisy and the indicator and wiper switches were on the wrong sides. I abandoned all the other plans I'd had for the day and left the car on the drive until it was time to take it back.
Sorry to sound so negative, but I really can't imagine how anyone could drive one of these things and be willing to get in it again, let alone part with £2,000 for a four-year-old one. You'd get a lot of bus tickets for that.

Had it's sister-under-the-skin the Kia Rio as a hire care in Puero Rico a few years ago.
Very nasty.

You obviously drove one that had been driven by everyone and his dog and the shockers were shocked,quite usual and the law for most loan cars,it quite likely had a tyre on the canvas as well
these cars drive quite well as did the earlier model but the 2000 one mentioned drive even nicer
remember its an a-b car
reminds me of the lady that had one daughter ,tried it didnt like it,if you get the jyist
sorry-----

How's that obvious, BB? The one I drove was outwardly presentable and well under a year old.
