Your slightly embarrassing Korean uncle. You know him - he's the one who's not quite as good at anything as most of your other relatives, but who never tires with turning up at this year's party with a song that Auntie Audi did last year, only she did it better. True, he sings in tune, but he's just a bit crap. You getting this?
-
Coupe
£17,215 - £18,700
A kind of Nissan Z-car without the serious muscle, and with looks that even its own mother might struggle to love, this is a budget sports car which kind of works.
-
Getz
£7,095 - £9,820
The brief for the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead was to create car that feels like sitting in a luxury yacht. This is the same, except swap 'yacht' for 'cardboard box'.
-
i10
£6,560 - £7,875
Very small and very cheap, but will also very much give the impression that you're just on the way to draw out your pension and stock up on Wether's Originals.
-
i20
£7,505 - £11,560
Hyundai continues to improve its game - this is a good value supermini with a great warranty. Not a car to lust for, but try one if you need decent, cheap transport.
-
i30
£10,800 - £16,245
Not-half-bad Focus rival wearing the same underwear as the better-looking Kia C'eed. Taken at face value it's OK, but life doesn't have to be this dull looking.
-
i30 Estate
£12,475 - £15,975
Nothing wrong with it, but the i30 isn’t the most imaginative of estates. Offers the same pleasant ride as the hatchback and a large load area, helped by being 23cm longer.
-
i800
£19,015
The last refuge of personal transport before having to pack the kids off on the train while you drive. So many seats that inbred people will have to take their shoes off to count.
-
Santa Fe
£20,775 - £26,165
Look out Freelander, cancel the RAV-4 etc. OK, not really, but this is a decent looking and brilliant value soft-roader and, so long as you stay on road, you could do worse.
-
Sonata
£16,215 - £17,270
Somebody needs to sit Hyundai down in a nice chair and very gently break the news to them that the Ford Mondeo exists. It will come as a shock, but it's for their own good.
-
Tucson
£13,615 - £18,920
Great big fat Tonka-spec SUV isn't rubbish, but against Euro opposition it just feels like a wannabe supermodel hanging round the catwalk in a hat she made herself.
