Hi everyone, I will be collecting my 130 1.6 CRDi Premiun (Manual) next week. I have had many makes of car but not a Hyundai. Very inpressed with the value for money. Fuel ecconomy and key fobs seem to be the main topic of conversation on here. My wife will be using it the most of the time , school runs, shopping etc so will see what mpg she gets. The car is ex demo 4months old 3,500 miles and I got a stonking good deal, I do have to travel 3hrs to pick it up but who cares when you save a bundel of dosh.

It's actually POHM "Prisoner of Her Majesty"

[teamgeorge]

hi sparki, same reasons ive got one on order too  

[eye30]

stood for "Prisoner of the Motherland" /quote]

Good call D_D and i30dave

see link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternativ ... or_British
"The origin of this term is not confirmed and there are several persistent false etymologies, most being backronyms, an example of which would be P.O.M.E, Prisoner Of Mother England."

"Some proponents of this theory claim that upon arrival in the country they would be given a uniform with "POHM" or "POME" emblazoned on the back, which apparently stood for Prisoners Of Her Majesty but there are no images or examples of these uniforms.In addition, it is used to mean 'Product of Mother England'."
