Hyundai IX35

Anyone own a Hyundai IX35 on here?

Theres a 2014 2.0L diesel CRDi SE Hyundai IX35 for sale near me that I might be going to look at, they seem decent spec. It would be used as company car but possibly as a 2nd tow vehicle for our caravan one I've checks the weights, but towing isn't crucial.

Are they decent cars?

My sister had one for 3 years, sold a couple of months ago when she got a company car. No problems at all with it.

My dad has a diesel 4x4 auto that he has had for 9 yrs, and had no problems with it, need new cv boots this year and that’s it, serviced by a local garage.

Thanks for the replies.

The IX35 seem fairly high specced for the price.

Wife is about to start new job which pays her a company car allowance, but she might only need a car for a couple of months as there is also another job offer on the cards that provides a company car. For this reason we don't want an expensive car incase we end up needing to sell it in a couple of months, so dont want to be stuck trying to sell say a £15k car

We've seen a 1.7L diesel 2011 IX35 with 90k miles for sale at £5k, which kind of fits the bill for a cheapish car. If she stays in her current job we can consider a newer car later in the year.

Agreed the purchase of an IX35 today, private seller with 100k miles for £5k, should be picking it up this weekend. Wouldn't normally buy with such high mileage but not much choice out there currently.

Need to sort out a faulty internal door handle, and an electric window which is a bit intermittent, I think it's a switch/contact problem. But it looks a decent car and good history/ownership.
