The Hyundai ix35 is a small 4x4 that has been in production since 2004. The 5-door, 5-seater is available with petrol and diesel engines, and with automatic and manual transmissions. It delivers a decent ride on the whole, but is not very well refined. The diesel engines can get pretty noisy, particularly at high speeds, while wind and road noise can also be quite intrusive.
