Advantages: great price, petrol consumption and appearance Disadvantages: large tuning circle and its poor rear visibility when reversing at an angle
I?ve been the owner of a coupe for 8 months now; long enough to have driven it in dry, wet, very wet, snowy and blizzard conditions and it?s been pleasing in all of them but was superb in the worst of them. It seems to glue itself to the road in snow and is the only coupe I have ever had that was actually fun to drive in a blizzard.
As standard the Coupe 2.0 comes with electric windows, tilt and slide sunroof, air conditioning, ABS, traction control, central locking, height adjustable drivers seat with lumbar support . It also has a decent CD player/radio
Everything is well laid out inside, although I m personally not keen on the bright orange displays and have turned the brightness down to the minimum, everything is clear and easy to see. The front seats have plenty of leg room with very comfortable seats that give you a very low ...

Toyota Celica 2.0 GTI 16v 5th generation ST182. British car, not import.
The model I?m describing here is a ?K? reg 1993 5th generation, 2.016v GTI, 3SGE engined front wheel drive version of this wonderful car; it has 154 BHP on tap and is in a non turbo form.
The reason for the GT4 coming about with its 200 odd HP output is because there was too much power for just a 2 wheel drive car to handle, torque steering and wheel spin being major drawbacks to power being put down on the road.
So split into 4 wheel drive (GT4) evened out the power, thus enabling major upgrades in performance to be had by this body design.
The Celica range harks back to the early 70?s and is still being sold today in its latest form, so they surly got something right in the design of this car; the model range has a great pedigree and I?ve always loved Jap ...

pleasing aspect about the new Hyundai is the handling and general feel-good factor it gives the Driver. Fuel economy is good on the 2.0 litre Model which is surely the one to go for unless you want raw power (but poor economy) in which case the 2.7 V6 may be more to your liking! The 1.6 version is slightly underpowered and doesn't handle as adroitly as the 2 litre. The leather seats that you get as Standard on the other 2 Models are missing in the 1.6 too.
Air Conditioning as Standard, Electric Sunroof and Electric just about EVERYTHING else add to the luxurious feeling that really does defy the unbelievable price of £16495 (even cheaper if you haggle like I did - I saved over £1000) for the 2 litre which I prefer and have purchased.
Hyundai have spent over £150 million in preparing this Coupe for Production and it appears to have been ...
