Pros

Not as nice as my Elantra, but economy was the prime incentive.

Cons

Two things I wish I'd negotiated better - no tint, and I just found out no spare tire. Egads!

Economical Car With A Great Warranty — I bought it because it was economical and because of the great warranty. I haven't made a mistake - low mileage, Hyundai roadside assistance, peace of mind. It's quite zippy for a four cylinder but still gets great mpg.It's quite attractive, and the hatchback design offers a lot of storage space for a small car.

Nice — Very handy and good-looking car. I have 1400 cc. using CVVT engine. Performance, fuel economy, quietness very successful. The most successful in the Class B cargo volume. Modern and ergonomic cockpit. The sound system was adequate. ESP and VSA as standard. Mediterranean to the requirements of a successful and quiet air conditioning. 1400 cc. engine turbo prop could have been.

Good-looking And Practical. — Love the great gas mileage. Cute little car with a lot of pep! Practical choice with unexpected modern luxuries inside. Roomy and comfortable inside. Nice large trunk fits everything we need. Smooth ride. I would recommend this car to anyone.

This Is A Great Car And Does Well Among Its Competitors — Performance - For it to be a 1.6L 138 hp motor it has strong pull. Braking and handling are ok. Initial quality is high for entry level B/C segment car. Haven't had it long enough to know how reliable it is. Appearance: Its cute to say the least. I have added some subtle mods to enhance its looks that work for me. Cost of Ownership - Its a cheap econobox so everything is pretty inexpensive to maintain. Gas at $4.00/gal barely cost $40 to fill up and lasts two weeks Fun factor - The car is a blast to drive. Not necessarily sporty but it is fun to rev the engine a little and use the auto/manual option. This coming from a guy that drove a Malibu.
