It's a reliable and fantastic little car. Parts are cheap and easy to find. I bought mine with 106,000 miles and I'm on 121,000 with no problems other than basic maintenance ie brakes, headlamps. It's surprisingly zippy, being small with great handling. And the gas, oh the sweet gas. Its a saver for sure!

Most Reliable Car I've Owned

Excellent commuter car, but the seats could be a little more comfy. I own a 5 speed manual and it's very easy to drive and gets great gas mileage despite how it's driven. 30 MPG at $20-$30 fill ups. Depends where you get gas but overall great deal. This Hyundai is mechanically sound and I would definitely get another.

Practical, Reliable, Economic!

Surprisingly excellent handle in northeast weather/snow! Responsive RPM/speed and zip. For a base-level Hyundai, it is utilitarian but attractive and comfortable. After 5 years, never one mechanical problem. Prior owner was family member and she too never had mechanical issue. If maintained, will run indefinitely -solid motor, transmission. Built to last. Lacks any feel of "luxury" but compensates with performance and efficiency.

A little champion

This is a reliable little car. Great for heavy traffic and tight parking spaces; it;s even a little zippy. I have driven this model before and enjoyed it. It has some extras but not too many, which is just what I was looking for. A basic car that works.

13 years of reliability.

Reliable, great on gas mileage, dependable in snow (front wheel drive), low maintenance. I bought it new in 2004 and it still runs great.
