Gottfried, recently my mother (age 66) decided to trade in her '94 Chrysler LeBaron with a whopping 40,000 miles. She has never owned a "foreign" car but read the abysmal report that after all these years, the "foreign" sedans still run rings around the American metal in terms of quality and durability. I told her to drive Camry and Altima...and she came up with Hyundai Sonata! My initial reaction was NO FREAKIN' WAY. Well, to my surprise after driving it, it's a GREAT car and a GREAT value...5 to 6K less than comparable Japanese. The warranty can be upgraded to 10 yr/bumper to bumper for about $900. I also drove the Elantra and was equally impressed for a car in that category. Good luck with your new one. My only comment would be that resale values suck on the Korean metal, but if you're a "buy and hold" driver the savings, value and warranty upfront are the only issue. Happy motoring!
