Hi there.
This is my third Hyundai (Sonata Hybrid, Elantra Limited are the previous ones) and car number I have no idea but it's entirely too many. After having our first child I went into dad mode and gave up on having a sporty car that's fun to drive. Now that she's older and facing the more convenient way I've been slowly getting more and more of an itch to have some fun again. There was nothing wrong with my car (Ford Fusion with the 2.0 turbo as seen in the background), but it just didn't give me "the fizz" while driving. Enter Hyundai and their really crazy summer clearance action they have going on and the rest is history.
It's a 6 speed manual base, and I'm in love with it. I was in love with them when they announced the car and driving just further helped. The drive reminded me of my favorite car I've ever owned (2007 Honda Civic Si sedan). It's not the most powerful car I've ever owned (that goes to the Focus ST), but it more than gets by. Reviews said the car lacks character but it has the same energetic buzz about it that the Civic Si did and I've missed it ever since I got rid of the car years and years ago.
Anyways, I've been lurking and reading quite a bit which I'll keep doing for who knows how long as I have a lot to learn.
