the santa fe was pretty nice, it had decent power too, its not fast but its decent. interior is pretty nice.



i drove an elantra (i think) and does the world really need another shitbox? its just a cheap cheesy car. for $15k or whatever they sell for you're better off buying a 3 year old 750il bmw, imo. this car made me want to drive with the rear wheels locked and hit trash cans and stuff. i hate stupid pointless cars, this is one





eeeeyeah, I wouldn't ever curse someone with that V-12 powered electrical monster. Don't get me wrong I love the 750il but they have endless electrical issues!. Nice Hyundai, not my style, but it isn't as bad as a Daewoo for sure.

Spending money on a Hyundai to make it "better"? Something about trying to polish a turd comes to mind.

Try and get them to work on it though. It is tough. That car in the pick needed a new tranny after 40K miles with no mods done yet. It took him like 5 trips to different dealers to try and get it done. Now he has a new tranny though.

I drove a rental elantra when I was in Tucson. It was ok. It wasnt too terribly bad, it had power everything. But, it was nothing special and the power had something to be desired. Id give it a C. I don't know why anyone would buy one new.
