Mechanically, the car has been solid. Gas mileage the best yet. And this is a full-sized sedan. However Dealer service has varied greatly depending on location. Some has been as good as any Porsche dealer I've visited, others were terrible.
Overall a much better value than a Toyota and maybe even Honda. Some deals are as low as $150 a month with a 10 year pt warranty. Not bad for a young person or an older non-car enthusiast. I however, would not purchase one of these car out-of-warranty like I might consider a Honda. But in a few years Hyundai will be up there. I remember when the first Hyundai went on sale for $5K new. Everyone laughed. Now look at them..
