So I was looking for a used small sedan in the low teens, like a 3-4 year old Civic or a 7-8 year old Jetta TDI. Then this car pops up on my radar. 6 speed, 150 hp, air, Monsoon stereo system, best in class fuel economy, cabin room, and it's only about $15,000. I've seen claims online of non hypermilers getting 42-45 mpg, Hyundai claims on long stretches of highway and ideal conditions, it should hit around 50mpg for some stretches. I realize that they don't have the long heritage of other imports, but their warranties are great, nearly all auto publications say currently they are near the top of the industry as of recent. I look at their line up, and they are actually clearly moving forward with their vehicles, as opposed to Honda, who has sat idle with microscopic changes for the last 10 years. So I say, why not get this car?
