Great Value for the Money

The only complaint I have is the acceleration is bit jerky if you don't ease off the gas pedal. Nice power. I'm not usre how the Avalon gets 31 MPG and this gets 26 highway. They could improve that a bit. I get 20-22 average in mixed driving, depending on how much highway driving.

I have been buying new and used cars for over 50 years and since this will be my last car I think, I really shopped the market from Caddy to KIA and all in between. No dealer could match the quality of this car and it's price and above all the warrantee. The dealer was magnificant. Best buying experience in my entire life. Made contact on-line, a price "out the door" was quoted and that's the price I paid. No hassle, no going to see the manager, etc. Just a wonderful experience. The car speaks for itself My wife loves it too. Hyundai needs to blow it's horn more, this car is the world's best kept secret.

Stuck in slow mode

I have a 2005 XG350L. My most recent problem has been when I drive from a parking space my car only wants to go about 10 miles and hour no matter how much gas I give it. After a while it will go 20 mph no more. After that it finally takes off like nothing happened. This process takes about 5 to 10 mins. When taken to repair could not duplicate. So can not fix. Accel position sensor and fuel sensor have been replaced previously. I love my car, but it is not reliable. The outside body also is thin. It dents and scratches easily. I would not recommend this car to anyone. I am working with the Hyundai Motor America consumer assistance center now I don't know that it will help.

Just Another Car-- Feeling Un-American

Bought new. Bought for the looks, price, and warranty. In the end; the transmission was replaced. $900.00 timing belt plus brakes at 60K. Armrest latch and cruise control button broke. Mysterious air bag light/sensor in seat that took no less then five or six tries to fix, and just out of warantee... main wire harness had a meltdown. So in the end it is just another car. Read the comments below; they are all on the money. (Hope all those transmissions got replaced?) Biggest let down...availability of parts. Nothing like waiting a week for your parts to arrive from Korea. And darn it if I just feel un-american driving it around. Wish I had given my money to an American Co.

Love My XG350L

This is my first-ever new car, so perhaps I'm comparing apples to oranges, but I Love This Car! After test driving many makes & models & thinking I wanted a used Lexus, by chance I came across the XG350L & immediately knew it was the car for me. It looks 'rich', has a wonderful ride & a spacious, well-appointed interior. A friend who recently bought an Avalon, said she didn't like those 'light weight' cars when told I had purchased a Hyundai. As it turns out, my car weighs 150 pounds more than hers. The car is great, the warranties give peace of mind & the dealership was terrific. While I've owned this vehicle only 3 months, I expect to keep it a long time.
