That is a really nice vehicle. It is not for everyone and like a lot of other cars of lesser quality, it exceeds 30 grand. That said, it should be considered by many who want a very fast driver and a Grand Touring ride with very reasonable price at that level.
Hyundai and Kia make some very well engineered and nice cars at reasonable prices..
I am very happy with my Sonata Sport at 78,000 miles in 3 years. NO problems at all. I did replace tires. Still have original brakes and it looks brand new.
Best car I have ever owned. Period. I will buy another vehicle from this brand but likely a compact SUV like the Tuscon for my wife.
Nice post Captain!
