Hyundai Amica GSi 5dr

Every time I drive this car I keep wanting to sing: 'Postman Pat' the vehicle is red and looks so similar to the popular children's cartoon character red post office van. This version of the Amica is actually called the Atoz, using the same engine and is simply a stretched (upwardly stretched that is) version of the Amica. This is the Atoz plus so it has air conditioning and a few simple extras fitted. The car is a 5 door hatchback and was originally bought for my elderly mother. Now my 21 year old daughter drives it and it has proved pretty reliable, to date, mainly just the normal consumable items have gone on this 'T' registration vehicle.

We bought a new Amica GSi Auto in May this year, as we took advantage of the generous £1500 discount that was on offer at the time, and thought it represented excellent value for money. We had purchased an S Reg Atoz about 6 weeks before as a city run around, and quite liked it, but the deals on offer by Hyundai for a New Amica tempted us back. I guess the old phrase that 'you get what you pay for' is as true now as it ever was, but I am not in the least bit disappointed by the Amica. It is 'cheap and cheerful' and as a result deserves to be ordered in a 'silly' colour. We chose Dafodil Yellow, as it it bright, fun, and totally in keeping ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Amica for almost one year now, and done over 10,000 miles in it. I am still as thrilled with this little car as I was the day I bought it. The reason I bought the Amica was because I had a number of requirements: 1. automatic; 2. small; 3. economical; 4. easy to manoeuvre and with power steering; 5. central locking; 6. electric windows; 7. air conditioning; 8. not too expensive. My requirements tend more towards comfort, so engine size was a secondary consideration on which I was prepared to compromise. A number of smaller models of car, including the Ka and the Matiz, were immediately excluded, ...  Read the complete review

I've had my (nearly new) amica since January, and was really nervous about the small engine size (my last car was a 1.4, but the amica is a 1.0), but it is really nippy round town, it can give as good as it gets! The interior is more roomy than it appears, i've managed to get two large friends in the back without much of a struggle. The boot has coped with four peoples' tescos' shop, so it can't be as small as it looks. Parking is a dream, finially i don't look like a woman driver whilst parallel parking!!! HURRAY It can hold it's own on the motorway, but you do have to give it a bit more time to get up to speed than you would do ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Amica new in June 2000, at first I had steering vibration at 60 mph. My supply garage could not find any fault and at 9000 miles I had to replace both front tyres( worn on inside), at 17000 miles new brake caliper required, at 20000 mile service(not free) new bulbs + tyres+ wipers+discs+pads. Contacted Hyundai customer service TOTALLY DISINTERESTED "do not buy this car" buy a Daewoo where free warranty really means free warranty... The dealer charges are £200 for a basic service which must be done to ensure warranty,the same dealer (Forthway in Fife) charges £40 less for a more comprehensive service for non-warrany vehicles. The car could ...  Read the complete review
