Hyundai i40 Estate 2.0 GDi

I started looking at the pictures, but had to stop because I felt sick.

You felt sick ? ,maybe you work in a ford/vw/vauxhall dealer and are seeing a loss of sales coming

Yep!!..... probably felt sick to the stomach trying to come up with excuses on justifying why the Ford and vauxhall have less for more money and how you can get a Bmer for similar money..... its about time a company started driving the price of cars in this sector down...... this is the family car sector - familys cant afford cars like this anymore, unless company funded.

Is it not time to consider how we use the word "premium" in car reviews ? This term perhaps should embrace build quality and reliability, not just the type of plastic used for the dashboard. Why is it that some unreliable models are classed as premium when value for money, well-built and dependable cars are looked down upon ? Many motorists who have to shell out themselves for their motoring would love to see the end of this silly snobbery !!

My next Hyundai?

I am looking forward to the saloon as it could be ideal to replace our Coupe and Getz. The price seems reasonable and I know Hyundai's are reliable, better than Fords we have had in the past.

A handsome beast

If I was still on the road I would happily have one of these. I loved my Mondeos but Fords are becoming very expensive. This is a handsome looking car and I have a humble Hyundai Matrix which is well screwed together and has been reliable so far so Hyundai is a brand to be reckoned with

PLASTIC, AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE!

Kia started the trend of more square metre of car for your money, and Hyundai follow. But what of the substance? One word, HOLLOW! Anyone who experiences the european designed and manufactured cars, will instantly take exception to the dullards offered by the asian companies. It may be a continent away, but it is a world apart. A price worth paying!

DESIGNED, ENGINEERED AND MANUFACTURED IN EUROPE

@ CyprusYid

The i40 was DESIGNED, ENGINEERED and is MANUFACTURED in EUROPE.

The car is from the SAME CONTINENT AS EUROPE.

Know your facts before you start posting misleading information.

A welcome contender

I drive a Renault Laguna Sports tourer top of the range nowt but expensive problems electrical that need mrenault to fix because they have to clear diagnostic errors to allow the car to start. Turbo blew at not these day sconsidered to be high mileage 98k. My wifes car is a Kia took it to south of France this year not quite as luxurious as the Laguna but I knew it would get there and back which it did and decent fuel economy as well. i welcome this addition to the Hyundai range and will definately give it a good chance on my list certainly won't trust Renault again. Ford and Vauxhall just same old same old at expensive prices and the germans need to remember that they arn't as good as they used to be and prices for parts are dreadful only good for fleet use these days. Hyundai/Kia are giving the car market a well needed kick up the ...... hopefully will wake up the industry and reduce prices and improve quality and customer care.
