Vehicle of mystery.

Hyundai Lantra?

 

I'm sure I recognise that from somewhere but can't quite pin it down.

I'll have to wait for another night, then....

In fact no...I revise my previous guess and change it to early 2000s Kia Magentis.  Final answer.

[red5]

Ooh no. Right area...

 

It’s a hatch, smallest engine option. Was offered on here....

[HH-R]

It's got the same fuel and temp gauge that seemingly every Japanese car had in the 90s but the font looks Hyundai. High spec Accent?

[stuboy]

Daddy wagon

Nope.

 

Deffo ‘proper FarEast’ sewing machine manufacturers...

[Zelandeth]

Proton? Haven't been in one of those since an MPi so wouldn't have a clue! Given usual tendency to use cast off Mitsubishi bits, would fit with the fuel and temp gauges...

 

Struggling here without resorting to Googling every far east car!

[HH-R]

Toyota Carina??

[Zelandeth]

Toyota Carina??

Pretty sure the Carina didn't have the vertically stacked gauges.

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Nope.

Only Toyota, then. Starlet?

[red5]

Toyota yes - late 1990's.

 

Blimey, they ARE bland 

[Stebob]

Look like celica clocks to me....

[Stebob]

Also is the daddy wagon a ford galaxy I.e. vw clocks in Ford colours, looks very similar to what my mk4 golfs clocks were like.....

Tried again:

 

[Noel Tidybeard]

much brightness^^^

[Tadhg Tiogar]

much brightness^^^

Was that alright? It took several attempts just to get that one! Something to do with lack of focus.....

[UmBongo]

Go on, have a guess. Zero pounds prize for the winner.

Rover?

[Talbot]

Not sure. Looks late 80's / early 90's Japanese and Turbocharged.

[alcyonecorporation]

I reckon S12 Silvia at a semi-educated guess.

 

Or maybe a T12 or T72 Bluey turbo or Executive.

[Zelandeth]

The Japanese at that time were really bloody good at making incredibly clean looking backlit dashboards weren't they?

 

For all there were a lot of interesting designs about at the time, I can't think of any other source of any which came close for how well polished the instrumentation looked after dark.

My current rental wheels on holiday.

 

 

2018 Nissan Pathfinder SL V6.

 

Surprisingly nice actually!  Really struggling to criticise it beyond "because it's an SUV" and wishing I could set it so the damn horn didn't sound every time you lock the thing... it's downright embarrassing when you get back to the resort late.

[PhilA]

Close all the doors, hold the lock and unlock buttons on the fob down together until the indicators flash a few times.

 

That should shut it up. Repeat to re-enable.

Thanks for that! Will try that in the morning.

 

Really is my only gripe with it aside from the sheer size of the thing...but we specifically wanted a 7-seater and they couldn't guarantee that in any other form factor. It's a comfy old bus anyhow.
