2001 Hyundai Trajet GSi review from UK and Ireland
"A good affordable people carrier"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The drivers seat cover had to be replace after a few hundred miles due to some loose stitching.
The air bag warning light sensor needed to be replaced before its first service as the light would not extinguish.
The roof rails had to be replaced at 25,000 miles due to rust.
The gearbox linkage cables and power steering pump were also replaced at 25,000 miles. Despite this after another 5,000 miles both problems are re-occurring.
General comments?
The car is well built with build quality high in comparison to my Renault Scenic and many other cars in its class. So far there are no squeaks or rattles coming from the trim.
The seats are comfortable even on very long journeys and there is plenty of room for six people, seven is a bit of a squeeze.
The engines performance leaves something to be desired. When pulling away it is hesitant and also suffers from occasional flat spots when accelerating. In general the car cruises well, but dislikes town driving.
It also tows quite well even when seating six, but the gearbox, in my petrol model, has to be worked hard.
