And have to mot and service it etc etc can’t be arsed man get a lease car and all I do is drive it the rest is their worry
Fairy nuff but it should only be minor stuff that isn’t covered by the warranty.

Plus you will potentially have to pay for damage to the lease car when you hand it back. With a runaround you won’t be scared to park it at a supermarket.

Which will cost about £60 a year man.

BTW just make sure you don't go over your milage & get all the scratches repaired when you hand it back, as they could screw you over a canny bit

Try to get an ex lease car from somewhere like Knowles or Motability. My ix20 has only been in the garage for its servicing, other than a problem with the radio when it was new. They just replaced the whole unit and it’s never been any bother since. It sailed through its recent MOT too. We really want to get another ix20 but Hyundai have stopped making them in favour of the Kona.

We have spent the last four months looking for a replacement for it but everything else in the small car range comes up short compared to the ix20, so we have to settle for the i20 which is a similar spec but with a bit less room in the boot.
 
Bristol street motors Vauxhall in Sunderland have 0% finance on at the moment. I’ve just got a 2017 corsa for a runaround to get be to and from work. Nice car for 120 a month or whatever it is. Cheap to insure and all the mod cons.

Have you seen the new Corsa and the interior of the elite nav premium ? It’s head and shoulders above Hyundai

sounds spot on to me.
 
To be fair., my Dad had a couple of Astras back in the day (including a rust orange Mk.I that I learned to drive in) and they were excellent.
In recent years the wife had a Zafira that cost me f***ing thousands even though we looked after it as per the warranty guidelines etc. My Dad and my Uncle both had Insignias that were never out of the garage and my Mum had a Corsa that was a absolute heap of shit

I think its just the luck of the drawer. Had a Mondeo mk2 which was a great car, no bother at all. Then had a Mk3 which was the worse car I've ever had.
 
You drive the 1.2 turbo or the se ?

It was the top spec version. The engine pulls nicely and it’s quite nippy but the windscreen sides impinge on your vision as you drive. I’m used to a wide area of vision on the ix20. It made me feel as though the roof was pressing down on me.

Niggly things like the air con knobs being too small and badly positioned in a recess so that I had to lean forward to reach them were minor irritations. You need to drive it and see what you think. I like the Hyundai layout it’s well thought out with most stuff in a logical position.

Some people might think the good engine outweighs the driving experience and layout of the controls but I want a car that feels intuitive to drive even if I’m not the next boy racer.
