2004 Hyundai Coupe GLS with sunroof and all review from United Arab Emirates
"Superb performance and style for little money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing. The drivers power window can stick occasionally, but I think that's due to the 50 degrees celcius temperatures that occur frequently here in Dubai. The car runs very sweetly.
General comments?
Great running car - smooth and powerful.
I used to own from new the mark 1 coupe. I bought this in 1999. The general quality of the 2004 model is much improved.
The car sticks to the road like glue and handles very well on pavement.
I love the aluminium finish on the instrument panel - gives the car an expensive feel.
The backlighting of the dials and instrument panel is lovely in red.
The cloth interior is a huge improvemnt on older models. The seats are comfortable and really hold you in place when you corner hard, but I wouldn't fancy taking a long road trip in the car - you could end up with a few aches and pains!
I have the automatic with the optional shiftronic gearbox. Its great to slip it into a high gear then let rip with the accelerator!
I have the silver paint and the finish is excellent. hyundai have worked hard on improving the quality of finish on their cars in general.
I love the new styling of the car especially the gill-like air vents behind the front wheels arches. makes it look like whats it is meant to resemble - a shark!
