Just bought this today, picking it up on tuesday! I cant wait

It blows my fiesta out of the water when it comes to how fun it is to drive, its awesome as far as im concerned

The seats are comfortable, interior is nice, everything bar one scratch is immaculate (oh, and it needs a wash!)

My car!

Limited edition F2 Evolution hyundai coupe

very smart

Always like those.

Is that the V6 version?

Morthoseth · 15 Jan 2006 at 22:05

I didnt realise they made V6 Coupe's

Im guessing its the newer models?

Oh and to add, it set me back ~£4800 and the insurance for me at 18 + my mother as a named driver was £1800, which is very reasonable imo

Looks good.

Axeboy · 15 Jan 2006 at 22:12

F2 had more power iirc ?

150bhp?

Nice cars.

Morthoseth · 15 Jan 2006 at 22:15

Ouch! I'd never ever pay 4 figures for insurance! :eek:

But that's the compromise you pay for being a young driver I guess. What insurance group is it? And are you insured fully comp? Otherwise it seems awfully high in insurance terms.

The V6 is a little lifeless, but with a bit of work can get a bit more perky. It's got about 165bhp, so isn't all that devastating.

Still nice car to have at 18! Lucky chap.

does it really have so little mileage on it?

nice car btw

Morthoseth · 15 Jan 2006 at 22:22

Has 64k on the clock, it made me wonder in that picture too - but there is a didgit hiding

And yeah its fully comp, and i think its cheap for the car it is, group 12-13 i think and i have 0NCB

And as far as being lucky..

Live for today, for tomorrow we die

i dont smoke, drink or other such things, only other thing right now i spend my money on is computer parts

Im happy to know ive bought my own car

I'm guessing it's 64k miles as you can't see the last digit?

I've always liked the look of the Hyundai Coupe. A guy at work has one (unfortunately in Kermit the frog green) and he's really pleased with it.

The v6 is a 2.7, (I think) but it isn't the best v6 I've ever driven by quite a long shot.

Live for today, not for tomorrow - If i dont get something nice now, i may never once i get bogged down with a mortgage etcetera, and what the hell - i dont smoke, dont drink, only other thing right now i spend my money on is computer parts

Ahh the attitudes of the young

Getting older doesn't mean it's the end of life and being able to buy cool stuff you know

At least you saved up for it and got the car that you wanted. A lot can be said for that.
