Detailed review: |
Love the car! Well made, well appointed, great sound system, quiet ride. Reviewers seems to complain about handling but I find it perfectly fine. This is a family sedan not a race car. With current gas prices can you afford to race it?
Cabin is very roomy and comfortable. Trunk space is ample, came with trunk cargo net but no trunk carpet. Engine has enough power to be quiet on highway. Transmission is smooth and shifts in time. Shifting from manual to automatic is never a problem unlike our 2008 V6 Camry that shifts to 4th gear at highway speeds causing engine to rev up.
Engine is do-it-yourself friendly with filters located in the accessible areas an no need to lift the car to change oil and filter.
I only own this car for a month and so far I love it. I cant comment on reliability but Hyundai gives you great warranty so it would be against their interest to sell you an unreliable car. Only time will tell how reliable this car is.
Hyundai improved their act greatly comparing to the cars they made 10 years ago. If they keep this up, watch out Toyota and Honda.
