Is the Hyundai Coupe any good?

I'm looking at a Hyundai Coupe TSIII. It's quite close to me and it looks good! I love the look of coupes, but this will only be my second car. Is this car worth it? Are there any other decent alternatives? My budget for the car is 6k.

Though it was quite a good car, this had the misfortune of being badged a Hyundai that, at the time, positioned it some way far south of a Toyota Celica. Decent enough car. Just don't buy one expecting it to endow you with any kind of status. And spares, especially body parts and trim, may be difficult to obtain.

Good-looking coupe that's packed with kit. Drives well, particularly the V6 model. All offer keen value.
