Hyundai may have been the last of the three major Korean manufacturers to launch a mini-MPV but the Matrix is certainly the pick of the bunch, offering a more stylish and modern alternative to the Kia Carens and the Daewoo Tacuma at reasonable prices. Here was a compact people carrier with distinctive looks and a range of decent engines including a novel three-cylinder diesel. Despite its attractions, the Matrix has been a modest seller, many new buyers apparently prepared to spend a little extra for an entry-level Citroen Xsara Picasso or Vauxhall Zafira. Used buyers will realise that this spells potential bargains and the Matrix looks a sound bet for those looking for a keenly priced, contemporarily styled vehicle with plenty of life left in it.

About the Hyundai Matrix

A used Hyundai Matrix makes a lot of sense if you want a low-mileage, modern mini-MPV that doesn't look as if you've set out your stall in the bargain basement. With neat styling and reasonable versatility, the Matrix has a fair bit going for it. Other rivals possess cleverer multi-passenger seating systems and others are better to drive, but at this price point no other used mini-MPV gets near the Matrix as an ownership proposition.
