This car has been a huge disappointment: it looks sharp but is not mechanically sound. I purchased the car certified pre-owned just over a year ago with under 30K on the odometer. It has been a series of unending problems ever since: all interior windows must be cleaned every 3 to 4 weeks with rubbing alcohol to remove a greasy residue that continually builds up (dealer does not know the cause), the interior smells similar to a wet dog when it rains, the battery was replaced at 35K yet still occasionally dies, both rear tail light assemblies failed causing the tail lights to stop working, and several rattles developed in the dashboard. This is in addition to two recalls.

2 yr old lease well maintained...had problems throughout lease with different check engine lights ...never found cause.eventually would go off by themselves. Car hits 130,000 miles engine shuts off, I'm told it's seized and has electrical issues. 8-12k in repairs.contacted 3 dealerships & customers service. Was basically told by customer service and regional that car is disposable. They provided me a car with a 100,000 mile warranty & they are off the hook. Will not even consider help w/ repairs or the requested assistance or incentive to buy another Hyundai .This was my 6th Hyundai + I recommended at least 6 other people to buy hyundais..NEVER AGAIN ....don't buy Hyundai**** funny I was notified that this was one of the cars that was recalled due to a faulty engine and still they have done nothing to compensate me -they simply don't care** & yes always had oil changes

This is the third Hyundai I have owned, going back to 2003. These cars just keep getting better, but I am really stunned at the quality of this car, the value for the price, and the performance. We opted for the SE turbo model, and the fact that this car is pushed along with such authority by a 2 LITER engine that gets 23/33 mpg is really almost hard to fathom. This car gives you everything: family practicality, safety, beautiful design, and it is very, very quick. The interior is comfortable, functional, and impeccable in its construction. I gave it a five for reliability (hard to give a score in that category after 110 miles) because my two previous Hyundais were fives; very reliable.
Love this car

I bought mine new in May 2011. I've got about 15,000 miles on it now. I love this car. Granted, I spent a little more to get the touchscreen nav system, the alloy wheels, and premium audio...but other than that, it's pretty much a regular GLS. I love driving this thing. I have seen some of the other reviews of people saying this car is really disappointing...I don't think that's the norm. The design is just very well thought out. Ergonomically it's a dream...and there is a TON of room inside. It's actually deceptively roomy because it doesn't look like it's as roomy as it actually is. The car runs perfectly and Hyundai also offers great support.
