Hyundai Atoz

I was given my mum's atoz shortly after passing my driving test back in June 2008. After being promised a car for years, it was not what I had had in mind, and although grateful, I was somewhat disappointed. Being 18, it is not considered fasionable or cool, and the taunts I've had from my peers are huge! 'Mini-bus', 'shed on wheels' and 'space ship' are all terms that have bene sued to describe it. My friends even duck down when we drive past people we know, for fear of embarassment. I as the driver however, cannot avoid this, especially with the height of the atoz (which although at times is quie useful, it does make you stick out like a sore thumb).

What a great little car. My fiance's parents keep a Hyundai Atoz at their villa in Spain and it is a great little car. The seats are very high up, much higher than in a normal car so the view out of the windows is much better than usual.

I would actually say that whilst from the back, the car does look very flat, fat and ugly, the enlarged vertical nature of the shape does have advantages. When you are actually inside the Atoz, the head room is fantastic and coupled with the simple metal bar gear stick, ...  Read the complete review

i have owned my hyundai atoz for more than 2 years now - purchased it new and 'touch wood' it has not given me one problem. ok it is cheap and cheerful - but for the short distances i use it for it has proven to be very economical - it is a shame that hyundai stopped making this model. they have replaced it with an amica - which looks similar - not so boxy. it is the only car i have owned in which a person over 6' tall does not bump their head when entering/exiting. i am also pleased that we purchased the semi-automatic version - no clutch but we get the same mpg as with a manual transmission. if you are looking for an economical - roomy ...  Read the complete review
