What a joke the test drive was. The salesman had us drive in a big oblong on the boulevard in front of the dealership, about a mile total. Not much chance to evaluate a car for possible future purchase. On the way back to the dealership I told my wife to slolam between the lane divider strips to see how the car would handle, I think we freaked the sales rep out. Colleen isn't used to automatics, when she stomped on the gas pedal to accelerate between 20 and 60 the car really lagged behind her expectations. Overall for such a short ride it was a comfortable car, but then we didn't get to take it out to the expressway or on a dirt road to see how it worked out there. We've leased 5 cars from the Acura dealership, which is owned by the same company, they used to just throw us the keys and tell us to go knock ourselves out, no co-pilot sales rep riding along.

Car ok, unable to really evaluate it.
Thumbs down on the dealership, will not buy a Hyundai.
