    Hi All,

    Was looking at a few Hyundai Coupes over the weekend and noticed that one of them had a part that wasn't plugged in.. This part in particular..

    When I asked I was told it was unplugged while the car was sitting up and was common practice. Is this true and if not what part is it and is it something I should worry about?

    looks like an ABS controller. unusual to plug that out without having a good reason

    ah there are tonnes of them out there. try and get one with service history and a proper warranty. avoid anything that's been modified or not in mint condition.

    2.0 not worth getting over 1.6

    electric blue/red/silver/black the easier colours to sell on.

    navy blue/olive green are not too desirable.

    Make sure the sunroof works properly too, the motor on them is well known for giving problems.

    while we're at that, make sure the remote locking works. walk/run away if it doesn't.

    Looks very dodgy. I would challenge them on that one. That appears to be a blatant attempt to sell a defective car & telling you stupid lies only proves the point

    no, they're reliable. just have a few minor things that are easy to spot. they're a lot more trouble free than anything European.

    Are these cars prone to a few issues then? Getting a sense they may not be the most reliable...

    They seem to be reliable but apparently they are quite heavy on petrol and not exactly quick.
    I was thinking of buying one earlier and just couldn`t live with the `girly` ` hairdressers` image.......thats assuming you are a guy.
    I have to say they do look nice though. :D.
