Good little wagon
The 2011 Touring rides well, can carry a goodly load of stuff, looks good, and carries a warranty that compensates for most of its few flaws. It gets respectable Hwy. mileage -- around 33 mpg -- but in town considerably less, unfortunately. My complaints: A. its right rocker panel's rusting just under the door and Hyundai doesn't cover this fault now that the car's over three years old B. overpriced replacement parts, for example, a little chromed strip on the lower front fender lists for over $67, a partial replacement of left driver's seat (leather) lists for over $500, with no option to change just the leather at a lower price. Another complaint: the body shop my dealer uses charges exorbitantly, twice what a reputable shop nearer to me estimates for the same job. C. Rear visibility on this car, like so many others with the upswept rear side windows, isn't good. As with Honda, VW, Toyota, novelty of style overpowers safety in this model. The Touring's not made any more, but with some improvements in mileage, rear visibility, and the folding of its rear seats to a completely flat position it ought to be quite marketable to older people like me and to starting families.
