Same here.
I was pretty skeptical about the Hyaundi at first but have been proven wrong. It was a top notch car with regard to fit and finish...ride quality was great, ammenities galore, good power, all at a great price.
I have driven a few of the optioned out Sonata's also and would not blink an eye at purchasing one as a nice daily driver in the future. Seriously, you haters should go take a test drive. I'd bet you would be very surprised.
