RE: Hyundai Sonata | Shed of the Week
Discussion
That is so ugly that you could simply put a Mercedes badge on it, and it would fit inconspicuously straight into their range.
As a shed, I would say that it is probably very good. It's cheap and fairly reliable.
I think I would wear a disguise if I owned it, though.
Almost top shedding!

Surely the number one pre requisite of a shed is it will work and get you from A-B in reasonable comfort. Any thing minor is DIY fixable and anything major it goes in the crusher. Shedding is for gamblers.
I always find it odd when people worry that a door or something isn't quite the right colour and therefore hints of a respray. It's a shed, the duller the better as that's what keeps the price down. I'd rather be seen in this as it says "I don't care" rather than "I'm poor"
If I needed transport on a very meagre budget I'd see nothing wrong with this weeks shed. After all it's got velour upholstery and fake wood, a massive shed plus in my book.

I cant bring myself to hate it, its a saloon, its not yet another small SUV Crossover, I would rather drive this than a Juke or something, sure the Juke is a better car but this is at least completely tragic.
Its like the car version of that generic brown dog found on Council estates in Britain in the seventies, hardy through random breeding yet totally nondescript.
Its sort of got a basic car from Grand Theft Auto 5 vibe, the one you grab when there is nothing else available apart from a coach or truck.
Even at 50 I am not old enough for one, maybe thats why I dont hate it ?

As I said in my earlier post, it's not a bad car - it's just on the wrong site. Nobody with even a passing interest in cars will look fondly at this, and Hyundai didn't care.
That XG30 in JACKO's post earlier in the thread is not UK market. Ours initially came with alloys that actually, genuinely looked like dustbin lids. They corroded so quickly Hyundai replaced them under warranty with attractive 10-spoke (I think) new ones, instantly transforming the car into quite a handsome brute*.
* OK, I lied.
Tragic. Depressing. Awful. Heinous. Grotesque.
I can't see any redeeming feature that would override the host of s
thousery that makes up this car.
Imagine walking out of the house and seeing this one on your drive. It'd be like a more permanent and public version of that feeling you get when you've won something on ebay while p1ssed.
Just no.

This would have been ideal in my last job 5 years ago where I had to park in some very dodgy locations such was the limited parking at work, I imagine no would be car thief would have looked twice at this or ever considered there would be something inside worth breaking a window for.
That looks like dismal motoring right there, the only justification for the pick is the nostalgia backstory mentioned in the piece.
I don't think it's even crap, old or cheap enough to be a laugh to smoke about in, it's just anonymous. It's not that hard to do more interesting with £1.5k, and indeed a 26mpg running cost as well.

My mother has one. I regularly drive it and it's soul-destroying.
You know how even the crappest of crap cars usually has something, you might call it a quirk or feature, which is at least interesting if not nice.
This has none of that. It's the blandest of the bland. I'd call it the tofu of the automotive world but you can at least do something interesting with tofu.
It's horrid to steer, slow, over-suspended but not in a Citroën or Jaguar magic carpet way. The only thing of note is that the windscreen wipers and indicators are on the wrong stalks, which is bloody annoying. My father bought it new in January 2009 ISTR for £11k which was £7k off list.
At this stage, I'd normally say "the only good thing about it is..." but there isn't anything with which to compete the sentence.
