What's the Hyundai i40 like?
The question
Is the Hyundai i40 Tourer a good buy? I am looking for large boot space, a comfortable drive for daily country roads and also regular trips to Dublin and some to Donegal. Would a Passat be better choice? I will be trading in my Renault Laguna.

Hi Joan,
We highly recommend the Hyundai i40 Tourer. It has a huge boot (though the Passat's is larger again) and is very comfortable. It's not easy to choose between the i40 and Passat at a fixed budget, so see what you can get for your money. The Hyundai, for instance, comes with a great five-year warranty from new and a high level of standard equipment. Its 1.7-litre diesel engine is also better than Volkswagen's 1.6-litre TDI equivalent, though the Volkswagen 2.0 TDI engine is better again if that's within reach.
Either way you're making a good choice and we'd recommend you test drive both cars to see which you like best.
