Hyundai ix35 (2009 - 2015)
1,7 diesel premium
Fully meets our needs - comfortable, good interior space and reasonably economic
Having now had the car for 18 months (17000 miles) feel able to comment. Wanted an MPV that had the 'footprint' of an average size saloon about 4.5 meters long, and 1.8 meters wide. It needed to carry a reasonable load, cruise at about 70 mph quietly and comfortably, be reliable and economical.
It has basically met all these requirements. Have found that the returned economy can markedly deteriorate if you drive on the motorway at above 65 mph, but keep it in the mid sixties and it will return about 46 mpg. Drive at 50 mph and 50 mpg is possible.
Interior finish is good. Equipment more than adequate. Drive both comfortable and responsive. Its exterior appearance is acceptable and does not look out of place with many other very much higher priced vehicles of a similar design - Audi Q3; BMW X3 etc.
All in all no problems and will probably replace it with another when lease runs out in 18 months.
