I like the exterior, interior...ehhh.

Trying to get my wife to test drive one to replace the GAGT. They make a V6 version of that don't they?

yeah when we bought ours hyundai had big rebates going on 1000 off for the 4 banger and 2500 for the V6... We could have gotten the V6 for the same price... But my parents wanted the fuel economy...yeah the 3.3 L V6 is pretty nice 0-60 in 7 secs and consumer reports tested it and they got 21mpg combined...

here is the 2.4L 4 banger... 163 hp at 5800rpm and 150 somethin trq close to 5000rpm... It is really a good thing for my parents because they drive like grannys... But when i drive it you can tell there is no power, not that it was designed to have any though... 0-60 in 11.5 secs...wtf??? I am seriously afraid to pass people!!!:lol: Just to get any notion there is power it needs to be revved to around 5 grand...

Let me give you an idea... Making a right hand turn on a green arrow, floor it around 15mph, wind it up to the 6200rpm redline, which is around 40mph, shifts to 2nd 3500rpm, all of the engine noise is gone and it feels like you are barely moving, I found myself asking where did all the power go??? Look down at the speedo that 40-60 zone felt like it took 5 minutes...

But it is economical!!! Good news!!! When we take her on highway trips she will average around 36mpg!!! FTW!!!

looks good I have had both the V6 and 4 cyl as a rental before. The only thing I think that still needs a little work is the interior. But they are definantly nice vehicles now.
