Absolutely all we could ask for. It drives great, rides great, and is plenty powerful. Really like the turbo.
I would buy another one without hesitation.
It is the wife's new ride. Has a little over 2k on the odometer now.
The paintwork is phenomenal, and the quality is very impressive. I had a VW guy (the Passat is being built in Chattanooga) tell me "we have to study all the competitions stuff, and they are just cheap cheap cheap." I haven't seen it yet. Fit and finish is outstanding, materials are great (there's a couple of small things that could be improved), and it is just a nice car, period.

How's the mileage? Does it get what it's supposed to?

Actually a little better. We have averaged 23 MPG city in the first ~2100 miles. (Haven't done enough highway travel to change much). Window sticker says 22/33, but I suspect it to be at least that. The few times I have been on the interstate with it it shows getting in the 40 mpg range most of the time (it has a real time mileage display that you can cycle on the LCD in the dash).
That was me. I have never owned anything that didn't "come out of Detroit" and at that, only 1 Jeep, the rest have been GM. Korea is on their game.

My son has an 2005 Accent, in the same color of yours. He put on a coat of off the self AIO the week he purchased it ( new ). He has the car washed at an automatic car wash about once every three months or sooner if someone tells him that the car looks awful.
After a wash the car looks as good as the day he took it out of the dealer.
He has saved $$$$$$ by not having it detailed. Great color and great paint.

very nice, congrats on the new ride. yesterday i was at the store with my parents and there was a new sonata parked right next to a lexus ES, and even looking at them side by side, the sonata was clearly the looker. some tint on yours would look great. also, if you want to plug the front drill holes, go to bumperplugs.com, it will look like they were never there...

When you say AquaWax. Are you referring to Malcos AquaWax? I love that stuff.

Thanks for the link Al! Didn't look like they had the Harbor Gray Metallic in stock yet, but I will keep watching. Tinted windows is on the list. Hyundai's website has several pics of that color with tinted windows, and you are right, it looks great.

call them up and mention the make and what color it is and they should have it, but it may be from another auto manufacturer but same exact color. a while back a buddy of mine had the scion tc 2.0 (limited) and they didn't have the color in the toyota/scion, but had it in the audi which was the same exact thing. they'll know exactly for sure...
