Reliable, smooth ride, and no issues for the 6 years we have owned this. By far the best automobile we have owned in terms of reliability and comfort.

I bought this car new. It now has 65,000 miles on it. It hasn't had a single issue so far.

An oil guzzler with unsightly paint peeling

Will start with the good. I really like the interior. It seemed to fit like a glove for me. I didn't feel as boxed in as I did with other cars. It has the creature comforts and conveniences that would be expected at the price point. A little underwhelming on the road but good enough. Now for the bad. The engine reliability is awful. This thing burns oil like nothing I have seen before. This should not happen at 60,000 miles with regular maintenance. The recommended oil change interval for this vehicle needs to be lowered. With very frequent oil changes and engine flushes this car may stand a chance to make it to a more respectable mileage. Because it's a dirty burning engine expect higher maintenance bills for cleaning and replacing parts that prematurely get carbon coated. Like the throttle body and spark plugs. The service charges will quickly add up and might not even prevent premature engine failure. It's well known by Hyundai that these engines are unreliable. If you are under warranty you might be able to convince the dealer to replace the engine if you documented everything and are persistent. Make sure to read the fine print because if you're not the first owner you're very likely not under warranty anymore. Finally the paint job is abysmal. The paint started peeling off when the car was only about 5 years old! After warranty expiration of course. It went all the way down to bare metal so it starts to rust. The white paint is especially prone to peeling. I recommend to never consider a Hyundai or Kia vehicle. I never will again. It's low quality garbage wrapped in an appealing package with good marketing.

Worst car I’ve ever owned

This is the 5th car I’ve ever owned. It is by far the worst one. They get stolen easily and their engines are terrible. The interior is about as basic as can be. Don’t buy this piece of junk

The trunk is huge. Easily fits my golf clubs & cart. The posi-traction is great for snow. I live in upstate NY. It's very quick to react. Car gets great mileage or power in Sport mode.

Even though I have just purchased my Hyundai I am in love with it. It rides so good and the gas mph is amazing. The comfort of the seats and room inside are excellent. I was looking for a car that will be safe for my 16 year old to drive and I feel completely safe with this car.

I wasn't ready to buy a new to me car. My Father had left me his car in his will..I had put more money into it than I could afford and it was just time....I had a limited budget for a new car- Safety, reliability and price were factors but I just walked into our dealership and Daniel found the right car for me at the right price, Dad is still with me but now I am safer. Thank You!!
