2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Review

2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Review

A mere 10 years ago in 2003, Hyundai was scrambling to gain traction in the U.S. as a viable automaker. Quality control and reliability issues had plagued the brand in the ‘90s and the product lineup looked like appliances with four wheels – econoboxes that served as mundane transportation. Fast-forward to 2013 and the new [...]

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Review

Hyundai has been on a roll over the last few years, with new models that are surpassing the expectations of the market, and the competitors in that market are getting surpassed in many ways too. With the introduction of the new 2013 Santa Fe at the New York Auto Show this year, Hyundai is aiming [...]

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport First Drive

At the cusp of the twenty first century, a humble little automaker took a big step by unveiling their first ever SUV.  When the Hyundai Santa Fe debuted, it was a truly global crossover that on paper, check off every box on the midsize utility to-do list.  While solid but underrated, the unibody hauler was, without [...]

2013 Hyundai Elantra GT First Drive

One day in the recent past, I woke up knowing that I had a sticky situation ahead of me.  I had scheduled not one, but two blind dates with two separate “girls”.  To make my upcoming romantic comedy even more interesting, the ladies in question weren’t just any girls but sisters.  Like most siblings, they [...]

2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe First Drive

2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe First Drive

Somewhere in America, there is a person searching for something.  What they want is a guarantee, a sure thing, an absolute and a most definitely.  The only thing is, this person is a bit different from the rest.  They refuse to roll with the masses, follow the crowd, buy into fads and walk up to the [...]

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo First Drive

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo First Drive

Building a vehicle for everything, whatever, and all-in-between can be a rather tricky and large undertaking but even still, Hyundai went ahead with the attempt back in 2011.  What resulted was the 2012 Veloster that was in fact, “engineered for whatever”.  The exclusive looking compact hit the market with far too many innovative features not to land [...]

2012 Hyundai Azera Review

2012 Hyundai Azera Review

Rarely seen in the media spotlight is a selection of cars that cater to a very select demographic.  These sedans go about their business in a very quiet manner and do so without complaint or concern.  Because they were created for a small section of the buying public, the competition between the segment’s offerings has [...]

2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe First Drive

2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe First Drive

If you were to put your right hand on a perfectly placed shift knob, select first gear and free-rev the throttle to hear the song of a throaty dual cam four cylinder, you might think you were in a sports car.  If you were to continue to rev the loud pedal enough to hear a “whoosh” [...]

2012 Hyundai Azera First Drive

2012 Hyundai Azera First Drive

In 2008, Hyundai shocked the automotive world by releasing a car that was not only not-small, but not low powered and full of cloth seats.  Instead, it was strong, luxurious, big and given the name Genesis.  In sedan form, the car went head first after the likes of the BMW 5-Series, Lexus GS and Audi A6 and did so with [...]

2012 Hyundai Accent Review

2012 Hyundai Accent Review

Here’s some food for thought: the American public is beginning to transition away from large sedans to smaller vehicles.  Proof can be seen in the sales as the small car segment is up while the large car segment is down.  Because of this, a generation change for many subcompacts was recently seen and the entry-level market is now as [...]
