well today i went to the hyundai dealer to grab a part for my rear shocks and right before i walked in i saw the guy who sold me my elantra. said whats up and said i would be lookin at a new car in the future. he was like really, and started talking, i restated future...hes like ok. want to test one now though. i was like yeah sure.

so we go inside and get the paperwork done and go out to a brand new gk...17"s, sound system and the works... so we go and this car is wowing me. suspension sucks, but that wouldn't be on there for long anyways. it shifts extremely smooth. the interior is quite confortable. the seats hold you very well. just overall very nice, for a hyundai...

we get back and park and hes like come see me when your ready for one or if you want to drive it agian. im like cool i will. i go to the parts department and guess what...they don't have the part, figures.

My dealership will call or send mail around every six months or so offering to make me a great deal on a new Tib. No way I'll ever buy a new one..happy with the one I got..especially since it's paid off wink1.gif

I test drove 6sp one a while ago, wasn't impressed that much. It's nice, but not worth $20,000!

The new ones are alright but I always figured the suspension kinda sucked for some reason. I love the suspension on the RD..it doesn't even compare with the sh-tty suspension I had on my Nissan.

Even though my Tib gets on my nerves, I won't give it away for a GK for a long time.

Your lucky the guy didn't haggle you to buy the car..at least there are some decent dealer's out there.
