  Hi,
  
  I've been searching through the car forum for comments etc on the Hyundai coupe..and realised that there have been overall quite negative reviews on the car.
  
  However, most of these reviews are not from actual owners/drivers themselves. Would appreciate if owners could comment on
  
  a) fuel consumption of the car
  b) reliability issues
  c) handling etc
  
  Appreciate it! I'm contemplating on registering for it end of this month as I'm able to get a pretty good price from a dealer. Thanks!

  what i know is that
  the petrol cost $50+ for full tank and is enough for 1 week use if u just use it normally, e.g. daily from home to office and back.
  
  my frd bought it for around 70k and took out a 10 yr loan on this

  For $50 plus full tank and lasting a week, that's really not too bad at all. My current fuel consumption is ard that range, considering my car now is only 1.5L.
  
  Surely there are more Tuscani owners out there?

  Home to office and back can be Jurong to Changi or Changi to Changi. So which is which?

  Here is a quote from Top Gear mag on the Hyundai Coupe 2.0
  
  So striking (read vulgar) is the Coupe now, that other road users stamp on the anchors to get a better look, then swiftly flick a middle finger when they realise they just risked a rear ending to look at a Korean Coupe.

  Ok it's standard consumption..
  like for example from ang mo kio to raffles place.
  
  not meant for one end of sg to the other end of sg... that i dunno the petrol consumption.
