While im rebuilding the Yellow zed and deciding where im going with the TT, i had to get rid of the scenic as it was falling apart and i hated every day of its ownership lol about 3 months and have now got myself another V6 toy.

 

Hyundai coupe 2.7 V6 tiptronic, in silver, got all mod cons and feels like a brand new car, which im pleased about, but no where near the fun or the grunt of the zed lol

So where's the pics :biggrin: Sounds nice Graham and health to enjoy mate.

I test drove one of those just before I bought a brand new RX8.

 

So so so dull. No feeling to the steering, underpowered, useless rear seats.

But they look great and are built quite well.

Nice one Graham - hope that works out for you mate!!

What the RX8 or the Hyundai....:wink:

 

I think I'd have the Hyundai over the RX8 - never liked the RX8 from the day it was launched....:whistling:

I've had 2 cheapo 2000reg 2.0 coupes, they've done me well. Never driven the V6. On RX8s, lovely to drive, nice place to sit but didn't feel thay fast even though it was, and used an enourmous amount of fuel from what I remember. I would have one, but it would need to be cheap to buy to leave me money for fuel.

I feel there is a slight under power, seems to be a more gradual pick up engine than instant and i know what you mean Lexx, but i got an 03 plate for peanuts and its immaculate throughout, worth double what i paid and will be a reliable, reasonably fun workhorse for the time being.

Traction control, cruise control, climate, elec sunroof etc..

Fuel tank is only 55 litre so end up filling it more often, but been ok today running around.

 

Will post some pics up when it stop raining lol

Pics from the advert i bought from

 

Nice car. Be gentle with it if you want reliability. They are legendary for knocking out the big end bearings. If you detect any rattle at all change them right away.. Hyundai now supply an uprated bearing. Hope yours is ok mate. Good luck with it.

Engine is sweet as a nut ( at the moment) lol recently had a service, but the guy i got it from seemed a bit of a bullshitter to say the least so it will get another one.

For eg: apparently it doesnt go into 5th until youre doing about 120mph :scared:

He thought it was 4 wheel drive, because it left tyre marks from all tyres when flooring it :thumbdown: Its front wheel drive pillock

 

So going to get it on some diagnostics to see whats going on with the gearbox, but im happy with it so far, it will do what i need it for until the zed is back on the road :thumbup1:

Looks tidy indeed Graham.....

 

...And still a V6. Hope it serves you well mate!
