I bought this car to replace my 8 year old Honda Civic. No real problems with this; had only done just over 30,000 miles, but both my wife & myself really needed a "higher" car, as we were both in our 60's & finding a bit of a struggle getting in an out of the Civic. The main reason I bought the Matrix was that I had £11,000 from a life insurance policy that I took out in the early 70's, and Hyundai had a special offer on at the time, so I bought one. It is the 1.6 Auto.
