am i the only person on here fed up hearing about hyundai i 10s?
seriously,im dreading when i look at the used car market in a few years time,the choice will be between both these odd shaped ugly looking south korean sh!tboxes,kia or hyundai.

i never thought i would say it but give me a citroen any day. (its not bad enough for me to want a peugeot yet,but its coming)

    All these new i10's, i20's etc look OK and inoffensive when new. 3 years down the line it'll be apparent that they were bought and maintained by the most miserly skinflints in the Western Hemisphere and look older than they really are.

    Look on the bright side Harvey - you'll be retailing these things in 18 months time and lying through your teeth to get rid of them.:rotfl:

    LOL, the taxi drivers near me are slowly changing from the octavia to the daewoo / chevrolet epica.

    i had a look at the spec and it features storage compartment in the back of the front seats,a sun glass holder and wait for it..... handy storage space in the glove box!
    my capri had a higher spec than some of this crap.

    We used to sell the Hyundai Accidents by the yard full...! Was fun driving back from BCA Preston in them hammering down the M6 with metal girders for suspension!
    All the Korean stuff was hideously !!!!!!, but very rarely did we get any warranty work on them.
