This is the way the average Hyundai driver has always seen them I imagine, but to those of us that like motor cars with style and fun we are fast approaching the end of the road. You imagine wrong  My Mrs has a Hyundai. She'd love a sports car or something a bit more fun, but she needed something that had excellent mpg (80mile a day commute to work), very reliable, four seats, and enough room to transport our two giant rabbits to the vets/ pet sitters, and to do garden centre runs/trips to the recycling centre for her gardening habits.. Oh and she only had £4k to spend. Hyundai i30 diesel fitted the bill perfectly. She hankers after a Mk3 Spitfire, but on her salary (and a seflish partner who has taken up the spare parking space with his Morgan) it is rather unlikely..... Apologies to the good lady, she has guessed you would be like a badger with a sore harris without your Morgan and has deferred her Spitfire, she spoils you. Can't you fit rabbits in the Corsa or Morgan then

Can't you fit rabbits in the Corsa or Morgan then The Corsa would do it - but the 70+mpg and sub £10 a month VED is the main reason for the Hyundai. It's also done about 200,000 miles, and han't broken down once in the five years she's owned it.

I thought my Fiesta tractor was doing well at 60mpg and £30 VED but that is low cost motoring.

It seems we've taken a step closer to road charging according to the news.
It would be nice to think that VED would be abolished but somehow I think we may get both.
