PIC ... 2013 Hyundai HND 9 Concept
For me, Hyundai has improved into one of the best car builders.
My daughter bought a new one in the '90s and it really was a piece of excrement. Since then, I am a believer in their quality of work.

I bought my wife a new 2007 Azera back in '07 & we both loved it. It was still a bit cheesy in the choice of materials, but you couldn't argue with the options offered, the 10yr/100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, the performance/mileage & the overall comfort.
So in January of 2013, I again bought her a new '13 Azera & this time bought myself a '13 Kia Optima.
The choice of materials in both cars is significantly improved from the '07 offering, the warranty is the same, the options are even better, the performance/mileage are awesome & the comfort level is superior compared to the '07.
My little Optima is a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder with 274HP/269ft-lb torque with a 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds & it really gets up & goes. It averages 28mpg since new (combined city/highway) & has more options/features than any of its class competitors. What else could a guy want?
I like it but I wish everyone would stop copying the Lexus and the Infiniti design themes.
