This has been a great car and we're sorry to let her go but it's a third car and it's time to downsize.

My wife's dad bought this for her and she used it primarily for long-distance commuting until about five years ago when it became the nanny's car. We've had a few different girls and each of them has put a few scrapes and dents in it and there are a few tiny rust spots but otherwise it's been maintained well.

The brakes, tires, and transmission are all about a year old which should keep maintenance costs to a minimum for the next few years. Hyundais were the first cars to have a 100,000 mile warranty. The only major issue is, the handle for the hatchback broke off. But the window opens so we use that and it has worked well since the only thing we haul with it is grocery bags and backpacks. The passenger-side tail lens has a small chip and should be replaced. The airbag light is on due to a low-speed front-ender which slightly buckled the hood, but the airbag has never deployed. The frame is straight and it drives well despite these cosmetic blemishes.

Otherwise, this is a great car. I've been driving it to work lately and had forgotten how much fun it is to drive. It's got a peppy V6 and 4WD for all that snow we're expecting this winter. It would make a great commuter, or a first car for the kid, or you could use it like we did and have it available for your nanny or Au Pair.

And you can't beat the value. I saw the same make and model listed here for about $1000 more.

Note, the Satellite radio is not included but I can leave the mount in place, if you want.

How the Koreans are cracking the luxury market

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

South Korea's two largest automotive brands are no longer the same companies they were when they first entered the world stage.
Anyone who visits Seoul after a few years absence is likely going to be in for a shock. What was, not that long ago, a decidedly third-world city is today a thriving, sprawling metropolis increasingly on a par with the world's most modern cities.

Hyundai i30 N: This is the 271-horsepower hot hatch we won't get

Thu, Jul 13 2017

Hyundai has finally taken the wraps off of its very first N-badged car, the i30 N, along with many of the car's features and specs. Visually, the car has subtle changes including larger grilles in the front bumper, a front spoiler with red trim, black headlight housings, new side skirts, a larger rear wing, and a more sculpted rear bumper. The car can also be fitted with either 18- or 19-inch wheels. Inside you'll find heavily bolstered seats, blue buttons on the steering wheel for driving modes, blue stitching on the seats and trim, and aluminum pedals. Performance-wise, the i30 N should be pretty potent with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 271 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. That's nearly 20 more horsepower than the Focus ST, and about 50 horsepower more than the GTI Sport. The Focus ST does have 10 more pound-feet of torque, and the GTI Sport roughly matches the twist output. The i30 N channels its power through a six-speed manual transmission and electronic limited-slip differential to the front wheels only. View 6 Photos To make the most of all this power, Hyundai bestowed an array of electronic aids. The sportier suspension features electronically adjustable shocks to improve ride or handling depending on preferences. An automatic rev matching system is included for flawless, smooth, quick downshifts. The i30 N also has a variable exhaust system for quiet cruising or loud hustling. All of the above features along with steering feel and stability control sensitivity can be adjusted by selecting one of the car's five driving modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, N, and N Custom. There's even a launch control function. Unfortunately, we won't be getting Hyundai's hot hatch here in America, despite the fact that we already have a version of the regular i30 in the form of the Elantra GT. But we know that Hyundai is working on an N version of the Veloster, and we expect that N car to make the trip Stateside. It will probably have the same engine found in the i30 N, just in a funkier body. And if it has the same engine, we wouldn't be surprised if it comes with most of the i30 N's handling upgrades and gizmos.

Former Lamborghini designer reportedly headed to Hyundai

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Luc Donckerwolke (pictured above) only left his position as the Director of Design for Bentley in early June, but he might have already had a new gig lined up as he was walking out the door. Donckerwolke is reportedly teaming up with former Volkswagen Group styling bigwig Peter Schreyer at Hyundai Motor, in a position to eventually take over the look of all of the Korean brands' vehicles. At the moment, this major hire for Hyundai and Kia is still just a rumor, though, and the Korean automaker is playing it close to the vest. Company spokesperson Jim Trainor tells Autoblog, "We do not comment on speculation concerning potential appointments." However, insiders tell Automotive News that the deal is the reason for Donckerwolke walking away from his long career among VW's brands. In Korea, Donckerwolke would hold a position under Schreyer at first, and he would take over Hyundai and Kia's design duties when Schreyer retires, which is expected in about two years. Donckerwolke joined the German automotive giant in 1992 and eventually came to define the modern look of Lamborghini by penning both the Murcielago and Gallardo. In 2011, he became the Head of Advanced Design for VW Group and took over styling duties at Bentley in 2012. Schreyer left a fruitful career at VW Group, including penning the original Audi TT, to join Kia in 2006. He gained the overall design duties for the Hyundai and Kia brands in 2012. Ousted VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech once said that he was regretful of losing the talented stylist. Related Video:
