This has been a great car and we're sorry to let her go but it's a third car and it's time to downsize.
My wife's dad bought this for her and she used it primarily for long-distance commuting until about five years ago when it became the nanny's car. We've had a few different girls and each of them has put a few scrapes and dents in it and there are a few tiny rust spots but otherwise it's been maintained well. The brakes, tires, and transmission are all about a year old which should keep maintenance costs to a minimum for the next few years. Hyundais were the first cars to have a 100,000 mile warranty. The only major issue is, the handle for the hatchback broke off. But the window opens so we use that and it has worked well since the only thing we haul with it is grocery bags and backpacks. The passenger-side tail lens has a small chip and should be replaced. The airbag light is on due to a low-speed front-ender which slightly buckled the hood, but the airbag has never deployed. The frame is straight and it drives well despite these cosmetic blemishes. Otherwise, this is a great car. I've been driving it to work lately and had forgotten how much fun it is to drive. It's got a peppy V6 and 4WD for all that snow we're expecting this winter. It would make a great commuter, or a first car for the kid, or you could use it like we did and have it available for your nanny or Au Pair. And you can't beat the value. I saw the same make and model listed here for about $1000 more. Note, the Satellite radio is not included but I can leave the mount in place, if you want. No personal checks accepted. |

Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards
Sat, 06 Jul 2013More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Standing Out In A Segment Of Me-Too Crossovers
This may sound strange, but bear with us - there is indeed a point to this little exercise. Okay, ready? We'd like you to close your eyes and imagine a crossover. Any modern crossover is fine.
Done? Good. Recall what you saw in your mind's eye. What did it look like? Did it have a somewhat aggressive shape - an upright greenhouse, pronounced wheel wells with some type of body cladding, a bold grille up front bracketed by large headlamps and hulking bodysides with a bit of visual flair provided by creases or rising shoulder lines? Did it sit jacked up a tad on oversized alloy wheels, distancing itself from any thoughts of mere station wagons? Yep, that was a crossover all right.
Hyundai fined $17.35 million for late Genesis recall
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has slapped Hyundai with a $17.35 million fine for delaying a recall on the 2009 to 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedan back in 2013. The recall grew from the original figure of 27,500 units to 43,500 sedans in November of last year, and focused on brake fluid that wouldn't prevent corrosion of the hydraulic control unit.
"Hyundai remains committed to making safety our top priority, and is dedicated to ensuring immediate action in response to potential safety concerns including the prompt reporting of safety defects," David Zuchowski, Hyundai's president and CEO, said in a statement.
Hyundai originally issued a technical service bulletin warning dealers to replace brake fluid. This was expanded to a full recall following NHTSA's involvement.
