Every time I think about looking at one I keep thinking to myself that it's still a Hyundai.

If I was looking for a 2nd vehicle for a commuter/runnabout car I'd definitely look at a used one once it drops about $10k in depreciation.

No - because it doesn't come with a V6/Manual combination. At least the Accord, Altima, Maxima, Legacy, and the Acura TL do :p

If I was in the market to buy a traditional sedan, it'd have to be a manual. It's all hypothetical :p

I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as it's reliable and good. I don't define myself by my car.

I used to joke that the reason they can afford to do a 10/10000k warranty is that the company wont be around in 10 years.

i actually bought 2.... 00 and 01 GLS V6's pre-owned... not bad... im sure the 06's are wayyy better though i have only seen a few since the summer release.

i'd recommend it as a major step up even if its a generation late

RWD 07 Tiburon looks enticing

I think the new one is actually worth buying for sure. The warranty can't be beat. Even if you do have problems, the car is fully covered for the most part.

They look pretty nice too!

Are you too good to buy one?

Yes. Everyone I know who has bought a Hyundai/Kia, even newer models, has had terrible problems with reliability and depreciation and poor warranty service/claims denied for no reason.

Depreciation is a big concern.
