"Well worth it! For sure"

General comments?
This car has been great so far.
It handles very well, cornering and traction is great.
Engine performance is excellent for a four cylinder, it responds to my every action immediately.
General ride is very comfortable, smooth and quiet.
Brakes are excellent. No ABS, but they pull me up in a flash.
The car has a real classy look to it.
Interior is good looking and well presented.
6 speaker CD sound system rocks.
Air Conditioning and heating works magic.
Steering feels quite heavy at times.
Great fuel economy. 580km per 55L tank. Avg.
Hyundai has come a long way, and I recommend this car as a great car for all types.
