Faults:

Windshield sun visors. They are not well-made, and have twice failed me. I have been unable to raise them when the sun was no longer glaring at me.

General Comments:

This is a super car. It is quiet and comfortable. I like the way the engine is so smooth. It just purrs! On combined city and country driving, I always average between 27 and 32 MPG. I have had absolutely no mechanical problems with it whatsoever.

Faults:

Leaking Valve stem.

Sticking expansion valve.

General Comments:

This car is well-equipped, not stripped.

This car has a smooth engine, transmission, brakes are quiet, the car handles well, and is very user-friendly on the controls.

Faults:

Top left of windshield was leaking and fixed by dealer.

General Comments:

I am really satisfied with this car. Roomy, quiet, powerful and reliable. The handling is superb. The gas mileage is not too bad, City: 11.2L/100km, Highway: 8.5L/100km.

There is one thing I do not really like; the fan control. The fan OFF position is in the middle of the directional control button, which means sometimes it is necessary to turn it off first in order to change the incoming air direction. I think it would be better if the OFF position is in the speed control button, although Not a big deal.

Faults:

At about 7k miles, I had some sort of drain plug for the cooling system in the engine block replaced. It had apparently been leaking coolant slowly whenever the engine was running and I had to fill the overflow reservoir twice with coolant. No problems since.

The check engine light has illuminated 3 times in the last 3 months for a day or two, then goes out, but I figure I'll have it checked out at the dealer next time I'm there. Then engine is running fine.

And the paint is beginning to chip off of the inside of the passenger side mirror. Again, I'll have that taken care of next time I'm at the dealer.

General Comments:

Before purchasing this car, I test drove the competition - Camry, Accord, and Altima - and while those are all fine vehicles, I believe I got more for my money with the larger engine, ESC, 6 air bags, etc.

After reading some of the prior posts, I do agree with the gas sloshing around in the tank, but when this happens, I merely turn the radio up a little bit until it goes away. And unless I'm driving on an unpaved road, I really don't notice the noise coming from the rear shocks. With these 2 comments, I think others are being a bit picky. After all, it's not a Lexus or Mercedes you're driving here - it's a Hyundai and you get what you pay for. If I paid $70k for a Lexus, I would expect it to be flawless.

I'm curious as to why this vehicle does not have daytime running lights. I guess I just assumed it would. And the driver seat could use more padding and lumbar support.

I am getting the advertised mpg so far. It's rated at 20 city/30 highway, and I'm averaging 25 mpg overall, so I'm happy.

It is a fine vehicle inside and out for the money I paid.
