Very good car
Car fails to start at times. Fuel pump not running. After a short time it will start.
The coupe is a nice looking car.
Drives well and is comfortable.

Really really good solid car, very reliable, would recommend!!!
The clock has the intermittent Hyundai fault of flashing on and off.
Not faults as such, but have replaced brakes all round - apart from that have serviced it once since purchase, and its done me proud. Just passed MOT last week with no problems! Not bad for a 10 year old car!!
This has been a really really cracking car and can thoroughly recommend them to anyone wanting a cheap to buy and run sports car. It's a dream to drive, if a little tight on headroom (I am 6' 7" tall!!), but the legroom is excellent. Mine is an auto, and the car has been entirely fault-free since I bought it. No manifold problems (touch-wood), and no expensive clutch to have to replace either! Handling is excellent. The interior is the only "downside" on this car - but fine if you like plastic I suppose!!
The 2.0SE is the best all-round model to go for. The 1.6 is a sheep in wolfs clothing, even in SE guise. The 2.0SE has the toys and decent poke.

It is a heap of junk that keeps robbing my money
My car revs up all the time. It is very embarrassing. I feel like a boy racer when I am stuck in traffic and everyone stares at me! I have taken it to three mechanics and the main Hyundai dealer, and no one can tell me what is wrong. I suspect it is the idle control valve or throttle position sensor.
I had to replace the clutch along with a long list of other things which cost me e1500.
I was driving along one day and my bloody sunroof blew off the car!! Lucky it did not kill someone. It wasn't even open! so I had to get a new one and have it resprayed.
I also seem to have the flashing clock syndrome that so many others are complaining about. Other than that it is great (not).
Nice looking.
Heap of scrap.
Weird things go wrong wit it!

Good for first 5 years, poor for last year
Throttle Position Switch, continuous problems have had this replaced every year almost on the dot.
Oxygen Sensor, had to have this replaced last month following poor emissions on last MOT.
Catalytic Converter, this was due to Throttle Position Switch and oxygen sensor problems which fuelled the Catalytic Converter and has burnt it out.
Exhaust Manifold. This is a known fault, which Hyundai are aware, a crack appears at the branch and you have to replace the Manifold with the Catalytic Converter as they are build as one.
Clock, the clock flashes on and off.
The car has been generally reliable.
I am still on my first Clutch, Suspension and Exhaust excluding the Manifold and Catalytic Converter.

Yep, had exactly the same on my 1998 coupe. Failed emmisions led to new exhaust manifold and new cat - very expensive.
I've also got the annoying clock on and off problem.
: (
I have had exactly the same problems with my Coupe. The exhaust manifold is cracked and needs replacing and I have a flashing clock. Still love the car though and have had plenty of fun in it.
High speed rush
Nothing at the moment.
This car is too hot for words. If it was a women it would be Jennifer Aniston.

A brilliant bargain for a car that delivers
So far the only fault I have had with the car is after having a new tyre fitted on the front passenger side, the tracking and steering went completely out of sync.
This car is the ultimate in comfort, both to drive and to travel in.
Its pickup speed is very fast and has no problems out of the starting block.
I will have no problems picking my next car, I want another!

I fault Hyundai very much till the day I die, I had nothing, but troubles with their dealers & their damn cars.
My Hyundai Fx 98 model went straight to the tip, piece of junk. Spent so much for nothing.
I bought my Hyundai F2 Coupe Evolution a few months ago. At present I find it a comfortable and pleasant car to drive, but my REAR passengers' hate it! It is far too small, both legroom wise/height wise. So in effect (unless you have small kids) it is really only a two seater. As far as fuel goes, it is OK over a period of steady motoring - perhaps doing 300 miles or so, but it is rather heavy around town. Nice looking, stylish, & I love the 'cruise control' when it is working. It handles the road very well - a big plus in my book!Would I buy another? Don't know yet, as I'll give it another year. By the way, my model was first registered in 1997/8.
The Versace of the car world
Nothing other than needing 2 new tyres which is wear and tear.
Stunning car that you can't stop looking at unless Sarah Michelle Geller walks past that is.
Handling is second to none and it handle corners without any body roll. Somebody said to me it's like it glides round corners.
Not much room in the back, but who cares... if you need 4 seat for adults then buy a crappy Vauxhall Vectra.

A low price good looking coupe
No mechanical problems at all.
But PAINTWORK EXPENSIVE (AS ON ALL METALLIC PAINT), expensive to redo. Need to spend £400 on front bumper and one side bumper from a parking (not me) side scratch from a truck when parked (the car not the truck).
A good looking car, I prefer this model to the new 2000 coupe look.
SE came with leather upholstlery, CD and air con.
Good MPG.
Possible criticism, not built for tall people, although the aircon model has more height than sunroof models..
