 When my older son asked if I have looked at Hyundais I gave him a long stare.  My 20 year old's need for a daily driver while in college got me to research vehicles.  Went to test drive a Sonata and came home with it.  Unbelievably smooth take off and stopping and everything in between.  Handles like an expensive luxury sedan. Effortless steering, smooth cornering.  The auto-manual puts you instantly in a sports rush.  Superbly crisp sound.  Oh and such distinctive exterior, jaguar like, without the Jaguar tag or nag. If I hadn't experienced it I would be still holding my long stare at the name Hyundai, continuing to hold my Mercedes', BMWs and lexus' close to heart. But now I'm a believer.
