Not as good as it used to be

I recently rented this car on a drive from Seattle to Reno when the airline stranded me. I generally have loved Hyundai's and my daily driver is a 2013 Hyundai Accent that I love. I was disappointed in this car for two major reasons. #1 the road noise was unbearable and I couldn't even hear the radio over the amount of road noise. #2 was the night time visibility, the dash is not dim-able and was way too bright making it very difficult to see at night. Gas mileage and every other aspect of the cars was great, but these two were a deal breaker for me and I took it back to the rental agency and exchanged it for another vehicle the next day.

Just drove the car out of the dealer 7 miles down the road the car over heated. The car is brand new 0 miles before I drove it out the dealer I check all fluids and light condition everything check ok. Car is too noisy,you can hear everything inside. 2006 had better noise cancellation than this car. The sit is not really comfortable to a big person. Other than that features are pretty nice for the price the car is worth.

On cue, warranty over, multimedia console kept draining the battery. Pros couldn't figure it out. I did by monitoring every fuse to figure out the drain. Warranty as a used car expired. 2017 SE. Now I'm stuck with half a car that I'll never be able to sell. Do NOT buy this car unless you have $ to throw off the roof and are an automotive masochist. POS

For the price, it includes lots of features and functions well. It lives up to its advertising. Very good fuel economy. The warranty is tops.
