Post by: andys101 on September 18, 2009, 13:50:07

Had a phone call from the dealer this morning as my car was being unloaded from the transporter.

I am going to look at it after work and pick my reg number.

Its a 2010my 1.6crdi u2 so will look to see if it has the 6 peed box.

Great stuff, well done! Looking forward to feedback (and photos of course!) Hyundai assure me all U2s will have the 6 speed box, so there is someting amiss if it hasn't.

I've been in to see it and its fantastic.

I pick it up wednesday.

It does have the 6 speed box, also the dark surround head laamps.

The aux inputs have been moved from the arm rest to the center console and it has lost the cubby hole in the top of the dash.

6 Speed is awesome, and the extra power of the U2.  :evil: Jealous!  Be interesting to see if the antiquated 4 speed auto gets the flick from the new models as well.

The Auto gets and update and it's 0.4 of a second faster 0-62. No details on the auto gearbox though.

The U2 engine in the UK versions does seem to still be limited to 115PS not the full 128PS it gets a little more torque though.

It will be interesting to see if its full 2010/Euro 5 spec with the DPF installed.
