Used Car Review - Hyundai Coupe (2003-2008)
Car Choices:
Since this is a car mostly seen in used car lots and the price difference are small, go for the 2.7 V6 to fully enjoy this vehicle. It may not be in the league of established nameplates when it comes to speed, but you'll get every precious moments behind the wheel.
There is the 2.0 model while it shows a balance of economy and speed, driving one won't bring any adrenalin rush. It is like fitting an athletic shoes to someone in a wheelchair. Going to the surplus route? If you spot a 1.6 model, avoid. That engine is very slow and does not fit the Coupe's image.
All Coupes come with alloy rims, power windows, CD player, airbags, and a sunroof. So, it is a matter of engine choice.
