It would appear to be an old article which has been pulled from the archives.   :confused:

It's an odd time for it to be published @ 11:26 pm on a Sunday:

Must have been a slow week for news in Derbyshire.............


Shambles I've just read your comment.

Be interesting to see if you get a response...

Not really - he speaks of testing the 6 speed manual, which used to be in the 2.0L model (now discontinued). Plus the picture is of a "10" plated facelift comfort.

I seen this article myself, i tend to do a search of google news with 'Hyundai' everyday (rather pathetic maybe, but you find cool things out) seen this article and was expecting a 2012MY review... hmm idk,

Maybe Derbyshire are still on the old 56k Dial Up connection, and this article has only eventually uploaded from the server... 4 years later.... even though there is next to no images..

Keep an eye on their site, they will soon be publishing Michael Jackson's death...

Let's be serious. Only thing Derby could win would be a toy from one of those game machines that you are guaranteed to win something from.... even at that..

The guilty website is based in Chesterfield - not Derby

Chesterfleld is most noted for its crooked spire. In the case of this website crooked spyer might be more apt.

Theres times i wish i had got the 2.0 crdi :(
but at the time of only being 18, the insurance was near £3,000 and obviously higher tax, slightly lower emissions put me off the idea..
