Agreed, if the used car market was as simple as looking for the best value for money model, this car would be worth less (in saying that, it's not actually that bad, depending on what you are buying it for).
What you are dealing with in this case is supply and demand. Someone, somewhere, will want one of these and you can bet your bottom dollar they know pretty much nothing about cars. What they do know is:
1. They've had a Hyundai in the past and it has been reliable and they've liked it. They need more space and this is the best model in the range for them.
2. At £16k it is still a damn sight cheaper than spending out £27k on a brand new one. In that context it looks like a bit of a bargain
This mind set is neither right nor wrong, but this is why they are this price and this is why they will sell.
