Best in its class

Nothing has been compromised in this car, an excellent hybrid in every meaning. I hope that Hyundai will continue this model and eventually this will lead to ultimate fully electric car that could become an alternate for Tesla.

I love this car!

I was looking to replace my 2013 Prius with another Hybrid. Definitely ruled out another Toyota product after all of the problems I?ve had with Toyota and their failure to stand by their products, especially the Entune system. After test driving Ford, Kia, Lincoln and Hyundai I decided that the Hyundai had all of the features I wanted/needed at a reasonable price. After driving it for only a short time I can tell you I LOVE THIS CAR! I can?t think of a thing that I don?t like about it. Of course it gets about 7 - 10 less MPG that the Prius, but it is much roomier, has a better ride and most importantly rides so well and quietly, unlike the Prius which was so noisy on the highway you could barely have a conversation. Most importantly, it has all of the important safety features I wanted such as lane departure warning and smart cruise control.

Most comfortable and efficient car ever

The interior room is unbelievable, comfortable for people in the back as well as in the front , I wish they offered the dark interior in the entry level trim, I like that it has the 2.0 liter engine and a proper transmission ( not a cvt) it makes all the difference and the hybrid battery has a lifetime warranty, can?t beat that.

This car is awesome!

It's beautiful, affordable and saves on gas. I am so happy I finally found a car that is eco friendly and has some get up and go to it. Even my husband was impressed.

Affordable Luxury & Economy

I traded in a gas-guzzling SUV for this vehicle. I wanted something affordable, but with all the bells and whistles. I've never owned a Hyundai before. I am very pleased with my purchase. Driving: It's pretty peppy and has no problem gunning into traffic. The brakes are more sensitive than I am used to and will stop the car abruptly in stop and go traffic so I had to adjust my driving style and leave a bit more space between myself and the next car. Accelerating is also sensitive and I can't have the lead foot I used to. Cabin noise, even on the highway is very quiet, which surprised me. I can enjoy my music or talk radio without competing with outside noise. Comfort: I have the leather heated/vented seats and love it. The power seats are comfortable and fully adjustable in all the ways I need to get them to the point where I feel as good getting in the vehicle as getting out after 90-minutes of driving. The dashboard and interior look well made. I also own a 2007 Infiniti, and its as nice as that. I can get nearly 600 miles on a tank full, and I'm very happy about that. I'm very happy with my vehicle and look forward to many years of usage.

I love this car!

This car is not only fast and high-tech, but it is also averaging 42 miles to the gallon. I love the panoramic sunroof and especially love the smart cruise control.
