Picked up my new Gen 3 V6 after a search and a few hundred miles wasted looking at some dogs!
Anyways here it is
Got stainless headers, custom exhaust, enclosed air filter and remap
Inside it has Tuscani vents and door grips.
Im chuffed!
It needed a new stereo so bought this brand new for £75
and some new wheels too....18" Mille Miglia HT3's...brand new almost £160 
Which I fitted on Saturday...
Comments?

The HT3`s look good, suit the car so well almost look OEM.
What does it drive like? Its quite a lazy V6 isnt it? made for the US market.

was v tempted with a 7, but woulda meant a loan/finance...and as im doing my training contract to become a Solicitor thought might as well wait til thats out the way!
It is a lazy v6, not the quickest car I have owned but is a decent drive and sounds very good indeed

Agreed with Lee, lowering it would make it look 10x better I think though.

Was shopping...fancied a 42"
I think it is a great value car for the money!
It could do with a drop. but will suffice for the time being

watch out for gearbox's on them mate, there like chocolate, same with the clutches. i work for a hyundai dealer and always get these in needing clutches or box rebuilds, also seem to get a lot of problems with alarms and immobilizers on them.
they do sound nice though and are quite nice to drive

Gearbox and clutch seems fine.
It has a Cliford G5 Alarm so not to worry about Hyundai's one

I always loved the look of the. Slow on paper though.
I had a hyundai myself ( not coupe though) and it was pretty reliable.
Interior looks better built than some of VW, AUDI etc to me too..

Wish i had bought one of them instead of the megane in a way, only to save my self thousands!
Looked into them loads, make the best noise every but just felt like they didnt go anywhere considering the 2.7 litre thats under bonnet!
