1.1 GSI 3dr Hatchback

Dog s***e

My wifes car and honestly the worst car the family have ever owned, and we’ve had some snotters (Vauxhall Corsa, Peugeot 206 and an old tatty Honda Civic to name a few). This hands down beats them for the worst car we have ever owned. It is slow, uncomfortable, badly built and not actually that economical.

God only knows what possessed us to buy this car, it is hideous. I had heard negative things about Hyundai/Kia however thought I’d leave my prejudices behind me - wish I didn’t, worst £4000 I’ve ever spent.

Over the 18 month period with this car we would’ve spent about £1000 in repair bills (luckily the garage offered a 6 month warranty). Due to the warranty we “only” spent roughly £400. That includes parts such as starter motor, alternator, tracking, fuses, wires, A/C breaking, central locking playing up, check engine light constantly coming on and some other faults.
Only good thing I can say about it is that for such a small 3 door car it is fairly practical.

So glad we sold the car when we did with around 60,000 miles on it for one of the cars we still own now, a 2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCI Zetec - which has been absolutely fantastic.
