High performance bargain
Everything works great.
This is the best car I have ever owned, however will not buy another one due to the low resale value according to Kelly Blue Book. Who is this Mr. Kelley and what makes him such the car expert?

A luxurious sporty car
Broke the climate control system after 7 year old son kicked the controls during a temper-tantrum. He also broke right dash vent.
This car is a true luxury car. It is a better car than a BMW, Lexus, or Toyota. Just drive it, and you'll agree!
I'm rather old (62), and I need something that's comfortable to ride in, yet sporty. This Hyundai is exactly what I need.
The SHIFTMATIC shift system is a joy to use! It's like driving a sporty-car, with the luxury of my old Buick!
I love zooming past other slow drivers in their other cars with the Hyundai! It's both sporty yet luxurious... I thought that was an oxymoron too!
The quality stitching on the leather is the best I've ever seen! I've owned some pretty ritzy cars myself in the past (A 1992 BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S Class, etc), and the uphostry in this car is actually BETTER than those!
Did I mention the warranty? It's the best warranty at any price! Your car is covered for 10 years! That means in 2008, I will STILL have plenty of coverage, as long as I don't go over the milege!
I love to show off this car! I'll often drive around for the fun of seeing people's envious stares! Sometimes I'll even get questions from younger people, asking me if it is a Rolls-Royce or an upscale Lexus or Mercedes! This is a Hyundai!??
Of course, the climate control system is next to useless, because my son was throwing a temper-tantrum in the front seat, and kicked the climate control unit. Now I can only adjust the temperature (and have to guess), and it will only blow on the floor.

You have a great car. Loose the son.
Go to the dealership and... get the climate control fixed!!! Duh!!!
It is definitely NOT better than BMW, LEXUS, TOYOTA, or MERCEDES!!!
Saying this car is definitly not better than a BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes is being a little bold and presumptuous. This car has received great rewiews from sources such as Car and Driver and MotorTrend, it has received kudos on fit and finish, comfort, and overall luxury, and at half the price and with a better warranty than its competitors it's a tighter race than you think, not to mention it's a beautiful car Hyundai or not.
Cool luxury bargain
Nothing.
This is a nice looking car. This car is quick and looks sharp. Most people would say that Hyundai's aren't good cars, but they have improved over the last 5 years. When I was first looking at cars I saw the XG concept car at a local auto show and hear it was going to be released in 2001. So when I was looking to build the car I went over to the local Hyundai dealer to take it for a test drive and was very impressed. I loved the car from first sight and so do my friends. The car has no H's on the front so there's on plus and it looks very much like an Infiniti. The car a lot of features like moon-roof, leather seats, heated power seats, remote entry, and the shiftronic transmission which is the coolest. The transmission allows you to shift manually or automaticly which is a nice feature. The car handles good, but people complain about the smaller 15 inch tires which mine didn't come with because mine was bought later in the year. I tell all my friends to buy this car because it's great and comes with tons of cool features and all for under $25,000 which is way cheaper than any other car that can compare with it.

Kelly Blue Book is just meant to be used as a reference to gage how much your car is worth. The best way to know what your car is worth is to find out what other similar ones are selling for from private party sellers. You'll be surprised to discover vehicles sometimes sell for much more that what Kelly Blue Book suggests the value is. I have been able to get far more for my vehicles in the past then what Kelly suggests they're worth.
