I bought this car because it won the most JDPowers awards and various other awards for the 2004 model. Also because it looks like a Jaguar. Have owned Jaguar's in the past but wouldn't trade my Hyundai for one now!! This is one awesome ride and the bonus is the gas mileage. Very economical to drive. Have completed the standard maintenance and replaced the windshield, battery, thermostat, etc. but those are all expected maintenance. Bought a newer vehicle but really hard to give this one up!! And... I stuck with Hyundai! One great car!!
