Good Points

Plenty of room all around although you do not want anybody too tall in the back row, Found lack of leg room.
Used to have a Toyota 2.2diesel Previa and although build quality was better my 2.0l CTRD trajet is a lot quieter and there is no comparrison with the fuel consumption on the trajet being almost twice as good.
All round view is good, the car is reliable, warm and is generaly comfortable although the drivers seat could do with going back another few inches.

5 Year warrenty


Bad Points

Problems with gear box from day 1 driving home from the showroom. Gearbox changed after 1 month to little avail. Has been in 4 times to look at linkages gearbox etc. Not easy to move from first to second with out a little crunch as it goes it.

Also from day 1 the car pulled to the left, after several visits to different dealers and an unlawful front tyre it was agreed to check the tracking. Although it apears now to be not eating the front tyre it still pulls excessively to the left with any type of chamber on the road.

The CD player has an annoying habit of skipping from CD to radio, to tuner etc all of its own accord. A replacement one is on order.

Roof bar joints although never used are rusting on the joints

Door side plastic trim is unpeeling


General Comments

Although I do have on going problems with the Hyundai Trajet GSi TD diesel People Carrier, It still represents good value compaired to other models I have driven.
Having said that I would not buy the same model again.
The seating is flexable and as a load carrier is good but seating is difficult to remove in fact the very back row on the drivers side is a complete pig.

Looking at the other reviews I appear to have a Monday morning car, with the gearbox still causing concern.
