What made you first want a Hyundai Coupe?
At the time I had 52 REG Almera, hated it and wanted a proper car. Looked at a F2 EVO and saw that a new Gen 3 1.6 wasn’t much more so purchased one in 2003, then moved on to the SIII in Dec 2006.
More in Martyns Garage
Now that you own one what would you say is the Coupes best feature?
Definitely the looks of the SIII. I love the fact that I want to drive it when I have no where to go.
How would you rate the car - out of 5 - on the following:
| Reliability |
|
| Ext Styling |
(needs the gills back)
|
| Int Styling |
|
| Economy |
|
| Cost of ownership |
|
In the next model what would you like to see added or changed?
More power which I think the coupe has needed for a while, and a better looking stereo!
Have you modified your Coupe? If yes list up to 5 items and reasons why.
Only added standard accessories like mudflaps, bootliner and mats.
Do you have any plans to modify your car / modify it further? (list up to 5 items and reasons why)
Not yet.
If your Coupe was edible, what food would it be and why?
Think it would have to be a chinese takeaway. A foreign import that has been made a british icon by owners like us!!!!!!!!
Should you ever part with your beloved Coupe what car would you buy next?
My missus is currently pregnant so I would say a more practical car. Have been looking at the new Mondeo as for a family car it has style.
What is the most annoying thing about your Coupe?
Having to have three seats replaced due to faults in the leather.
Do you regularly (read / look at the pictures in / ring the dodgy numbers in the back of) modified car magazines?
No comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any other personal details, or comments that you would like to share with the world?
No.
