I have a couple questions so I thought I'd better jump on first and say hi.

I've only just got my new car. It's just the 2017 Active GD series so definitely not as nice as the other ones but I've been driving a 2009 manual Getz for the last 6 years so to me it's like a luxury car

I don't drive very far and just wanted a bit of an upgrade to get from A to B and also something easy for my son to drive since he's on his L's.

That's a nice enough upgrade.

So ... CanookRoo, huh? :lol:

Yep .  And I was telling my mum about it and she didn't know what I was talking about. Turns out over there they're called an Elantra GT or something.

That's right, hence the range of model 'names' covered by this forum. A handy fact to remember when trawling fleaBay!

I suppose as long as I'm sitting next to him he will.  It's when he's on his P's that I'll lose it.
They need to design something that locks the car so it can't go over 100. Also an app that shows me in real time how fast he's going

Wow...I had no idea.  I like the idea but I suppose I'll have to trust him until he gives me a reason not to. I just know how I drove my mum's car at 17. He's much more responsible than I was though.
