Hyundai i800 (2008–2022)
What's good
Can seat eight in comfort.
Good value for money.
Caravan Club’s best towcar in £16,000 to £20,000 category in Towcar of the Year Awards 2009. Judges impressed with the eight seat capacity and luggage space. Rear-wheel drive and strong engine give confident towing.
What's bad
