I have over 33,000 miles on my GT. I have only replaced one headlamp in addition to the regular maintainence. I usually get between 28 and 33 mpg. Most of my driving is at 45-70 mph. I'm very satisfied!

Have had this car 4.5 years with no problems whatsoever. Does just fine driving in the Colorado mountains in wintertime. Good fuel economy, averages around 32 mpg mixed driving.

The Perfect Car?

The hatchback, in particular, is a hot little number--bought a dark red one two days ago and I'm already getting lots of looks. My automatic is downright peppy! Handling is quick and responsive, and the purple dash lights lend an opulent quality to the car. Having owned an Infiniti Q45, I was not just surprised, but SHOCKED at the features of this gorgeous little hatchback. Let's see what I have to say after I put some more miles on it, but as of right now, I can honestly say I've never been happier with an auto purchase.

First let me say that Hyundai sticks with you all the way with their 100,000 mile power train warranty. They fixed the differential in my car at 95,000 miles free of charge! I never incurred any major repairs other than worn parts. And it's been a gas to drive. Steering is very responsive and the standard drive provided excellent gitty-up especially in the mid ranges over 40mph. I would buy it again but the exterior of the 2009 model is just plain looking and they discontinued the hatchback.

Bought used and have been very satisfied with car. Many features make this seem and feel like a much more expensive vehicle. Style is attractive and interior well thought out. Always thought Saab 3 series was such a pratical car, then they stopped making it as a hatchback. This car is just the same, small outside but hugh inside carrying capacity.
