avoid! they retain the logbook for first 12 months.

It says 6 months in their t&cs ...
b. To achieve our discounted vehicle prices we are in most cases required to register the vehicles in our fleet name and address and our customer’s name simultaneously. The V5 (or logbook) has to then remain in this format under our terms of supply until the vehicle is at least 6 months old. After this period of time has elapsed, the V5 (or logbook) is only then changed over into your name and your address making you not only the first but also the second registered keeper.

I've bought from them twice now and been the first owner and registered keeper both times. They are up front and tell you in the advert if you are not the first registered keeper. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
belcher142
Same for me. Would recommend using them.

It's kinda mad how rubbish the economy is on these cars. My 2011 Passat gets better economy routinely. Just driving country roads to my mum's about 12 miles and I got 70mpg.
Normal commute 40 miles total combined is about 57mpg at 70 (it's more or less a hill the whole way) At about 65 it's more like what this car claims.
On longer motorway journeys it's closer to 70. (edited)

Your Passat is a diesel though. This is a petrol.

“1 litre engine in a car that size? Good luck”
Theruddz
A 1.0L engine is really not up to the job of pulling a car this size. Yes you can bolt a massive turbo to it to produce the power figures but there will never be longevity in an engine under that much strain! The way the car industry have tried to brainwash us into thinking this is the way forward is a joke.
MrKrabs
If it was up to the car industry, we'd all be driving V8s, have no air bags, or safety systems, makes a car quicker and cheaper to build. Thank UK, EU and US laws instead.
Scrooge_McDuck
These engine sizes are ridiculous. Give it a couple more years, they'll take the engine out and provide us with a hole in the footwell so we can run the car like Fred Flintstone.

1 litre diesel??? Bet that's fun to drive... 🤪

Its Petrol.

1.0 for estate? Few more months and you will be able to drive a car after CBT test. (edited)

I'm waiting for the 50cc SUV....
yeababyyea
How does the 1 litre pull the beast with 5 big guys in and boot full of materials
daemon1275
If thats your requirement then obviously this isnt the spec for you.

ALL MODELS / COLOURS ARE AROUND A 22-25 WEEK FACTORY ORDER
Ypnos
Good deal, but how the heck is a 998cc engine supposed to drag that thing around? 0-60 in a week?
SpindleDick
A turbo and direct injection means this has similar power to a traditional 1.6-1.8 litre engine.
TeamMCS
Hyundai corporate customer service has really gone down hill. I'm still waiting for them to get back to me about a paint issue I have repeatedly contacted them about over the last few months.
Phlop0
Have you been mispronouncing Hyundaay. They seem very ratty about that lately, maybe that's why they're ignoring you
BadMF
These eco boost engines aren’t called “eco boom” for the fun of it.
TheUrbis
This isn't an EcoBoost.

Those wheels are hideous
Tanuki334
those are part of the anti-theft package

Was looking at cars at the weekend and this comes close to some of the prices we saw at the Hyundai garage for three year old models . Heat from me
Sieja
what a massive engine gkr a fakily car 🤏🤏
Rickardo
On the sauce already?
Redbu11
Considering the price of old bangers now this seems like a pretty good deal. These tiny engines really worry me though.
gajamaflake
soon will only be able to drive 20mph in most built up areas in wales so this will be more than enough lol

0-60 in 2 days 1 litre engine in a car that big what are they thinking 170nmt torque (edited)
daemon1275
I'm sure its fine for its target market - a family runabout. Its not going to set the world on fire but is designed to be cheap (for a new car this size), reliable family transport.
Page 7 says it all really, fossil fuels phased out, airports to close, traffic cut by 40%, energy for heating cut by 40% and new cars to be no more than 1000kg. We're going to be seeing smaller lighter cars and smaller colder homes, no more New Zealand lamb or beef and no more flights. So a nice trip to Blackpool for your hols unless you want to drive to Spain in your city car......if they allow it.
The future's bright, the future's greener.

They said that about cars 20 years ago. They have actually got bigger , less economical and less practical. Figure that one out

Get ready for the "my Lada Riva is quicker than this pile of dung!"
Rickardo
You're meant to post that in reply to the first bingo comment - doh

I realise it's cheap in today's market, but no one can deny it looks hideous. Surely one of the crossovers for very slightly more money would be better option taking into account resale value (the recent Toyota which can be had for £22k and with I think a 10 year 100k warranty).
Dacra
But the tiny crossovers are still tiny, just raised up! This is a proper estate with a proper boot, not a small SUV being called an estate for no reason.

I hired this car for a week driving in Italy (2 kids plus bags in the back). At first I though something was wrong with it as it it seemed to have so little power. Overtaking was more trouble than it was worth. After a week driving I figured you can get it to move a bit, but you do really have to floor it to make it go some. Even for a family runaround you'd want a little more grunt to feel safe overtaking.
Mr.Dangle
Watch this excellent video about a second hand ford 1 litre eco boost engine youtu.be/fWP…uuc
quantum77
Are the engines similar? Or just the fact they're both 1 litre and the Ford shows that's good enough?
RickyWong
Getting close to pre-pandemic prices for this class of cars.
samory
Are you saying new car prices are coming down
JonCollett
I went to see this at the Hyundai dealership in Swindon about a month ago. They told me that it had been discontinued and that they couldn't get one. I left, hacked off that they didn't even try.
nocturnal74
They'll be tring to get rid of them soon just watch
SClub
This is brilliant value and I still think an estate is more versatile than an SUV.
ashmac
Sorry you view is invalid, you like s club 7 ..:o
Bikerdanny
Seams a okay price, as a wildcard idea if anyone can make a EV work for them ( be able to charge at home ) then a lightly used MG MG5 gets my vote.
just as “good” looking as this, similar warranty and will be a way nicer to drive / more powerful.

Because of the level of discount

On a bike thread the equivalent would be called a BSO (bike shaped object) so is this a CSO?

Nah, car people generally aren't as cliquey

I had a Range Rover and a BMW a few years ago. Both were never out the garage and the price of parts was a disgrace. I bought a Kia Ceed SW then a Hyundai Santa Fe. I had the Ceed for 4yrs and currently have the Santa Fe for 3yrs. I've never had a minute's bother with them.
I'm not in the market for a car just now but I'd buy this in a heartbeat. I'm not bothered about speed now I'm in my 50's.
