"Hyundai's best kept secret"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

None.

General comments?

This car runs great. Of course it doesn't handle like an 02 Altima, but it is not a sports sedan either. Atleast twice I tried to crank up while the engine was on. Then I started to use the RPM meter to find out if the engine was on or off. It is that quiet.

Since I drive defensively and avoid jackrabbit accelerations, this car is a more than adequate performer for my needs. And I feel refreshed after driving it rather than exhausted!!

The car looks great at night time, especially the interiors illuminated. Hyundai has done a clever thing by removing all Hyundai identification logos at front. I have had atleast 10 people ask me about the car at parking lots and my colleagues just love it. In fact, my coworker just got a 03 XG350 L after riding mine and I weaned a potential accord customer to an XG.

And to all Korean bashers, I also own a 02 Kia sedona which has performed flawlessly for the past 2 years. I feel like a smart shopper after saving atleast $12,000 or more on my two cars for comparable features/comfort.

Hey yall, I own a 2001 XG300, the only thing I really didn't like was replacing the transmission at a little under 100,000 miles, 94,576 to be exact. Anyways, other than the transmission and no performance parts for it at all, I am quit impressed, I bought it from a local used car dealer I've known for years, about 6,500 was what I paid, other than its harshness on the wallet when servicing, I like it, the stock radio also went out before I owned it, so its now replaced with a Kenwood DVD player (a lot more impressive), but yes up and go is excellent for a lil V6, the auto-stick isn't bad, doesn't even come close to a manual, but hey, heated leather seats in Mn is a small price to pay for that, the backseat is adequate for night time fun, also curios if anybody else knows where I might find a center drawer for my car, mine is broken. also if anybody knows whether these cars came equipped with a turbo at all...

Please let me know, snow_fire_18@hotmail.com.
