Specifically regarding the interiors, I was stunned by the quality of materials, design and fit/finish of these things. No, they aren't MB/BMW/Audi quality but then again we're talking about low to mid $20k pricing here. Compared to other cars in that price range, I'd say Hyundai has done their homework and are giving the domestics something to be embarrassed about. Surprised the heck out of me.
They have really gotten their collective acts together. Especially in the last 2-3 years. Now if they could figure out a way to keep them from losing 75% of their value in 2 years, I'd buy one.
