1996 Hyundai Coupe SFX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Attractive, powerful fuel guzzler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Apart from normal wear and tear. Nothing.
General comments?
This car looks like its from the future. The fairer sex absolutely love this car.
Has really good power especially when you get the revs up. I think its 100Kw. If you really want to put your foot down this thing is a rocket.
Drive like a racer and you will pay for it - at the pump. about 12-13c/L.
Suspension is too soft for this car and this effects its handling. You can feel too much body roll through corners.
Clutch is long and a little shaky in low revs. Is a little jerky when driving at speed.
Interior is set out nicely and is very comfortable with leather seats which are highly adjustable. Has a lot of functions and extras. Sunroof is very nice. Sound system is good for stock standard.
Lights are a little dim even with high beams on.
