the warranty for hyundai is 1000000 miles or 5 yrs, if used for private hire/taxi, ive got a trajet and i have done 85000 miles in 2 yrs and other than gearbox syncro problems(fixed under warranty)its been superb.my mates got the sonata 2.0 petrol auto and he loves it and so do the customers, i can buy all the service bits from any parts shop and you can have it serviced at a vat reg garage and it does not affect the warranty.

DO NOT buy the trajet(people carrier), I have just had the third gearbox fitted(manual)and was of the road for 5 weeks!!!!

I bought this car brand new and it has cost me a fortune in time off the road.

I phoned hyundai finance and told them that I don't want it anymore and told them to come and get it, they new about the problem's but still wanted £3500 to settle the finance.

I told them in no uncertain term's TO SHOVE IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE!!!! :sad:

A mate of mine has one and is not a fan anymore.

But fancy anyone in this trade buying a 2.9 petrol engine. :shock: :shock:

Sussex, mine was the 2.0 diesel and it was great on fuel and a nice car to drive, it's a shame the gearbox kept going wrong! :sad:

Iv'e done a bit of research and the auto's are really good, but I bought a manual because I thought there would be less chance of it going wrong!

How wrong I was :shock:
