I agree that Hyundai is making a much better product these days at an affordable price. It's a perfect car for a graduating college student and really, it's the least we can do for our kids. Heck, the car even comes with XM radio which neither one of us has! I'll be helping her break it in to make sure all is well before she leaves for her internship in Orlando the end of December. Also, need to teach her about taking care of a car...little things like checking the tires and knowing how to put more in if necessary and oil changes and such. Luckily we're only about 3 hours south of her and the wife has already let me know that there will be frequent trips up to see her baby! The Sandman

Replying to: fezo (Nov 20, 2008 12:34 pm) A $5 raffle heap has a similar exit strategy. Sometimes it's good to have that with certain cars. |

Replying to: fezo (Nov 20, 2008 1:57 pm) One of my friends worked the counter at his dad's auto parts store. Whenever I'd buy a part for the Riv I'd loudly complain that the part cost more than the car. |

Replying to: woodyww (Nov 20, 2008 10:29 am) No, I'm not complaining as I saw very clearly on the window sticker that the W-12 gets 9 miles-a-gallon in the city. I'll probably only drive this car 2,500 miles a year at the most, so, gas is not an issue. Filling up the motorhome this summer at almost $5.00 a gallon with a 150 gallon tank was an eye opener! I just put 88 gallons in it at $3.25 a gal two weeks ago to top off the tank for storage. So, it's gotten better with the prices. Mark

Corvette, the Bentely fob has a little key that swings out (like you said)...but, with 'push-button-starting', the key never needs to leave your pocket. M. |
