[Solved] Any ''good'' hyundai cars to buy under 16 000 EUR in Europe?

I have a friend (a woman who's not into cars/doesn't take super good care of them) and she wants to buy a hyundai, 2015-2024 , but, her ''limit'' is about 16 000 eur. We were looking at the Kona, Tucson and Bayon. The Tucson's are a bit too big and expenisive, the Kona's are also on the more expensive side, SO only the Bayon seems to fit what she wats - a HIGH car aka SUV type, low cost aka cheap, and also has to look nice, she's 44 is that helps, manual or automatic, must be a petrol. She also does some HW driving, and some short trips.

So, I found one on sale (Bayon), but, it has a 1.0 or a 1.2 l engine with a turbo, and, my guess is, it has GDI, which I know, is normalny not good, due to carbon build up. She also sometimes does short trips, has a reeally bad maintencance score - she doesn't really look out for her car- and puts the raido on blast, to not hear the engine scream ''please fix me'' - she already has a 2010 hyundai i30 manual with a 1.4l engine, hence she still wants a hyundai, cuz hers has not yet died -. Any tips ? I still would prefer if she gets a toyota CHR, 1.2l turbo with a manual, they seem to go for bout 15 - 18k euro in europe here. But again, the turbo could be a problem, due to shorter trips sometimes. Any help/ advice would come in handy, thank you.

James.

She can get brand new one with 1.2 naturally aspirated engine for her budget

Thank you 🙂 So, in other words, that would be a good car for her ?


You are welcome. Bayon is too fresh for me to buy used, so are the current generations of Tucson and Kona. To my knowledge, previuos generation of Tucson has mainly problems with diesel engines. If she only wants these 3 models, take a look at nat. aspirated engines. Let her test them and see what she likes. You can also invite her to test pre 2019 Toyotas.


Thank you again, will tell her about this info 🙂 Have a nice day!


You are welcome and good luck!
