    I've had my 06 Accent 3 door C-si for a week ( I'm Canadian,we like
    hatchbacks here) and just love it.This is my first Hyundai product and
    I've been a Honda guy for a long time.

    I was impressed enough by the car reviewers to give it a look and
    bought it after the test drive with no hesitation whatsoever.

    I'm way impressed with the fit and finish and the trim level and it's
    just plain fun to drive!!!

    Loking forward to reading more here,did a bit of lurking for a bit pre
    purchase...just figured it was time to come out and say hi.

    Just bought our first Hyundai 2 months ago, a 05 Accent 3 dr hatchback 5
    spd (I prefer hatchbacks, too).
    I'm usually a Ford guy, but wanted something small and economical to use
    as a daily driver instead of my gas guzzling truck. I've been impressed
    with the quality of the build, the way it sounds, the acceleration, and
    the gas mileage. I already have 2,500 miles on it, and the worst mileage
    was 29 MPG (US) on the first tank with mostly city driving. I'm getting
    about 34-38 on the highway with 70 MPH speed limits, depending whether
    it's a headwind or tailwind.
    I agree with you, it's fun to drive!
    Good luck with yours!

    congrats, but i would have waited for the 06 model, light years ahead of the
    current generation..

  6. Believe it or not, the 5-speed Elantra will get the same kind of highway
    mileage, but it's not as good in city driving

    I have been following this group for a while now as I think the new 06
    Sonata looks quite nice. I think a lot of people still think of the old
    pony's and stellars, etc. and are reluctant to embrace Hyundai but from
    what I have seen in the last few years, it looks like they have come
    along very nicely.

    I got mine last Friday here in the UK.

    My first NEW new car - its a Coupe 2.0 SE in red.

    Very nice so far. I just have to potter around for the first 1000 miles.
