Hyundai i800 review

Wallowy, to say the least. We’ve seen steam ships with sharper cornering. The sheer height of the i800 means it tips and leans through bends with all the alacrity of, erm, a ruddy great van. Easy enough to drive, though.

Do you like space? Do you like headroom? In that case, you’ll love the spacey-headroomy i800. With eight on board, there’s acres of space – even the rearmost three passengers have plenty of legroom. Back in Korea, they sell it as a 12-seater. Enough said.

It's deceptively perky, given the size of the thing. OK, 14.5 seconds to 60mph isn’t going to win you many drag races, but the 2.5-litre common rail diesel is torquey enough to keep up with traffic. And don’t forget it’s rear-wheel drive. Drifting time? No. Really no.
