1.6 Active 120 Auto 5dr Hatchback

Good practical and reliable car

I have had this car for nearly 6 years, drives well and apart from services and new tyres has not had a spanner on it. Even with 62000 miles on the clock it is still very quiet.
Hyundai make a good car and compared with our other car, a Toyota Yaris automatic, it is better built and has more refinements. I particularly like the 6 speed auto box which is very smooth and makes for easy driving. It also has a hold function on hills, a feature which the Yaris does not have.
The interior is showing small signs of wear but carpets still look good.
The body has no signs of rust I just wish they had put a bump side strip as I have a few dints and small dents on the body due to careless supermarket shoppers, a common problem these days!!
Test drove the later model with the 1.4 turbo engine, not impressed compared to my 2013 model. I found the auto box was constantly changing ratios and seemed not to be well matched to the engine unlike my 1.6 naturally aspired engine.
