HCOC The Hyundai Coupe Owners Club ®And Forums

Hi

I'm thinking about getting a more fun car than my current Ford Focus... so looking around and interested in the idea of getting a Coupe which I have always liked. I always try to find owner's clubs etc for cars so glad to find this one.

I'm going to have a look around for an '09-ish one so any advice welcomed... or anyone in the Birmingham area interested in selling one?

Thanks

James

Good luck with your search. Apart from the usual checks for rust and mechanical issues with any car, give the sills as good a check as you can bearing in mind the plastic covers, and make sure the clutch is not slipping. The bite point is unusually high, but get it nice and hot and floor it around 50 or so in 5th, and make sure the revs don't rise quicker than the car does!

Check all the electric motors (window lifters, central locking, mirrors and sunroof) work OK, these are typical weak spots, but needn't be costly to fix if you are handy with cars. Parts can be sourced direct from South Korea via Ebay. Finally, check the sunroof frame for rust under the glass. Again, one from a breaker is cheap and 4 bolts to fit.

And Welcome!
