 This car purchase is the meeting point of lowest cost for the highest number of desired features, relatively good gas mileage for reasonable cabin/trunk space, and operational reliability.  I plan to drive this vehicle for the next 10 years, so the Hyundai warranty was a very strong selling feature.  Didn't pay the extra $800 for two features I wanted (AT and cruise) but I haven't been sorry.  The car drives well thru all conditions including snow/ice, tho an 8 hr road trip is about as much as I want in it.  It does have the highway 'floaty' feel to it.  For mostly about town transportation, I'm quite satisifed w/ it, tho I will be acquiring after market cruise control (for less than $800!).
