Hyundais are very nice cars. i bought mine in may of 1999, i have put 257,000 almost trouble free miles on it and the engine feels like it can go another 250. the tranny did fail on me at about 75,00 miles but it was replaced free of charge because of their 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty. they also have a 5 year roadside assistance program, which comes in handy for a guy like me because i lock my keys in my car on a regular basis. they had some problems when they were first introduced in this country but they have come a long way as a car company.
Keyser, i would go with the IS. my brother just bought one and he said it was the most hassle free car purchase he has ever been through. they quoted him a price, when he first walked in and that was the price he got in the end, around 4 and change, i believe. they evemn called him a few days after picking it up to make sure everything was okay.
i would get an insurance quote on any car you're lookikng to purchase, first. i seem to remember a thread about you and speeding tickets. it's just no fun when your monthly insurance payment is more than your car payment.
