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.

John Krafcik stepping down as Hyundai CEO, replaced by VP of sales

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

Hyundai Motor America has announced that its affable president and CEO, John Krafcik, will be stepping down from his post on January 1, at the completion of his contract. He'll be replaced by the current executive vice president of sales, David Zuchowski.
Krafcik has helmed Hyundai through a product renaissance that's seen the Korean automaker go from budget afterthought to household name in less than a decade, launching stylish new models and expanding into new markets. "On behalf of Hyundai Motor Company, we sincerely thank John for his visionary leadership and relentless pursuit of customer satisfaction, which has driven Hyundai's record growth over the past five years," said Im Tak Uk, the COO and executive vice president of HMA's parent company, Hyundai Motor Company.
"It's been a sincere privilege and honor to lead Hyundai Motor America over the past five years, and I am confident that with Dave's succession, our brand will continue to expand and thrive for years to come," said Krafcik in a Hyundai press release, available below. "We have many of the best and brightest employees in the business coupled with a committed and talented dealer network that will continue to pay dividends."

Hyundai Genesis Coupe spotted with rumors of a V8 underhood

Wed, Feb 11 2015

Our spy shooters have captured a Hyundai Genesis Coupe mule testing in Sweden. This is merely the current body cut-and-pasted to fit new internals, so don't be disappointed by its looks; we're looking forward to inspiration from the HCD-9 and perhaps grand touring inclinations on the production car whenever it appears. The photographers said they noticed the hood's been modified, perhaps to clear the 5.0-liter V8 from the Genesis sedan. That engine would be part of the plan to push further upscale said to be planned for the Genesis Coupe, along with the fender arch cutouts on this mule that push the wheels to the corners for a longer wheelbase that will make more room for passengers. Rumor has been that the next car will do a much better job of swallowing four adults. The company's HTRAC all-wheel drive is expected to be an option, Hyundai having said five years ago that the feature is being engineered into the Genesis family platform. A reveal probably won't come until sometime in 2016.

Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.
