Are you still living in 1995? Thanks for saying the exact opposite of what many are saying about Hyundai's progress over the years.

I guess, you have not tried to sell any Hyundai car. I have not traded in but my Accent (175K miles with no major issue vs 225K on Sentra with little more issue but still similar experience) could not sell at even trade in value. Had to dump for 750 dollars and the guy drove it another 25k so 200K and traded in for RAV4 and you know what the dealer would have done with RAV buyer. It is true that Hyundai has cheap feeling, I bought a Corolla way more expensive than I would have got Elantra for but image was also the issue.

Anyone wants to keep the car and does not care about status gets the top bang for buck with Hyundai. Hyundai has too much negative reputation but is as good as Honda, and Honda is Sony of auto industry.

I bought Honda Pilot which I would not have, had there been any option available with Hyundai in 2005 Nov. No decent chick will sit in Hyundai, their brain is wired backward so they will not think 10 years ahead which Hyundai with 10 year warranty and a chick who sits in Hyundai is far sure smarter than you and you know what I mean now.

I've read this post three times and still don't know what you mean.

My '02 accent is pushing 90,000 miles with no problems. Anyone who cares that much about image deserves to pay more for it.

No, not really. Can you explain that again?

another one for hyundai
My old car was giving a lot of problems, wanted a small car, went to see civic , quoted price was well above invoice at MSRP
as they were a hot sell. Went to look at Hyundai elantra- but for about 13.8 K was affordable , and of course most important
had enough leg space , more comfy ... Needless to say went with elantra

again my old car was hyundai sonata - 2001 , bought it used , well below KBB and had its share of problems spent $$$ recetnly in repeairs with alternator and some small belt the mechanic forgot to change along with timing belt , but overall i should say good bang for the buck

haha Females do care about cars...their own as well as their hubby's/boyfriends. Someone said "show me a female who does not care about what they drive and I'll show you a loser"

Forgive me for being a noob here... I live in Illinois and would like to purchase this car. However, the dealers that are mentioned here is located on VA. Do they ship cars here? If not, do I have to go? If so, do you guys think it is worh it? Any help is appreciated...

When I was car shopping I came very close to buying the 08 Elantra GLS but
got the Corolla because they offered 0% for 3 yrs.

If I was buying today I'd get the 09 Sonata GLS since for about $15,800 your
getting a car that has a MSRP of over $20,000 and comes with all the bells and whistles
including 4 wheel disk brakes that the standard Corolla LE doesn't have.

All that being said I'm very happy with the Corolla.

We are a Hyundai-only family since our lives were saved because we were driving one during a highway incident in 2002.

We have owned:
2000 Elantra
2003 Elantra GT
2004 Elantra GT

We currently own:
2006 Sonata V6
2007 Sonata (lease)

When our lease comes up, we will go for an Accent or Elantra, depending on the deals in Aug 2009.

So far, so good. With regular maintanence, we have had no problems. We put tons of mileage on each one of them and they always have come through for us. We speak so highly of Hyundai that 5 family members have purchased and also love their vehicles.

I'm glad to hear that Hyundai is (overall) so well respected here at FW. My wife and I recently replaced our '95 Grand Cherokee with a used '07 Entourage SE. I knew the price was a steal (especially here in AR, where car prices are ridiculously inflated), and the ride is nicer than anything I've ever owned, but to hear all this additional positivity for Hyundai makes me even happier and more confident in the purchase.
