Show Us Your Motors!

At the end of september I won't and brought a facelift st3 running 300bhp. Thought it would be a fun car and make me happy. Well it didn't, it just didn't seem to work out for me. They are great cars, and I wouldn't advise against getting one.

So the next chapter in my car live starts as follows:

Now it's not even as close to as fast, but for the journeys I do (all town driving) it's more then enough. The cabin is a very nice place to be, and at EX spec I have plenty of toys to play with. Also I have the piece of mind of 1 years warranty and fresh service.
 
Is that what they call it?

I remember lauighung when these came out, they had obviously worked quite hard to ditch the OAP image and following - most of the ones I was seeing on the road just after they came out were beige or brown :)
 
Are we still doing crap night pics :p?

I've saved up enough to upgrade now, but the damn Japanese engineering just keeps on working :p, not found a good enough excuse to change beyond 'I want to' and that's not strong enough to blow my savings on a Z4 just yet!
 
Here is my 54 plate Hyundai Coupe 2.7L V6. I have had it for 6 months now and, even though it's more of a cruiser than a car that you can chuck around corners, i quite like it. The cars i have owned in the past have been the 'safe' options like vauxhall cavaliers, Ford Orions, VW golfs e.t.c so i just fancied something a bit different. This is the most expensive car i have ever bought at £1500 + an old diesel Fiat Punto that was knackered as part ex. So far i have changed the front pads and discs (mintex dimpled/grooved) and back pads and that is it. It is a little overdue a full service (around £370 for a full cam belt service) but i should be getting that done in the next few months.

I would like to get my lights 'de-ambered' too

I recently got a 07 plate Hyundai Coupe, albeit the 1.6 and its quite a nice looking car with decent fuel economy. I can't really complain.

What's the economy like from the 2.7?
 
I only do around 100 miles a week in my coupe and I tend to put about £35 in the tank every week. If i worked further away from work i would have to buy a car that was cheaper to run. Luckily for me i pick 2 lads up on the way and they give me £10 a week each so i only have to pay the extra £15 petrol. The main costs for my car are

Tax = £270
Insurance = around £800 (look at my location ;))
Servicing/parts = next service £370

Quite expensive to keep on the road but then i don't have kids and our mortgage does not cost much so i can, just, afford it.

I should have waited and got myself a 2L version but when i went to look at this V6 i had to buy it as it is in very nice condition and only had 54000 on the clock with 7 stamps in the service book (last service was at 45000 so it is a little overdue now at nearly 57000)
