1998 Hyundai Coupe FX1 review from Malta
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It's only 5 months from new, I can't say. I hope that I won't have any.
General comments?
My previous cars were Fords so this is my first Korean car. I find it value for money for what you get. In Malta, it is the cheapest new coupe that can be bought - it is cheaper than a Puma or a Tigra which are smaller, less roomy and have a smaller capacity engine. The car is also quite refined mechanically although not to the level of its Japanese counterparts. Also it gets noticed in traffic for its aerodynamic design (I like to compare its shape to an RX7). Although it's a coupe, it is quite roomy in the back seat.
Well, I like it!
