Hyundai/Kia have come light-years since the days of the Pony and the Excel.
My fiancee has a Hyundai Tucson, and while it's been very reliable, and very well built, the fuel economy is horrible. Not that any of the members of that class get great mileage, but since I've spent the last 5 years getting used to 55 mpg from my Civic hatchback, and now getting 55-60 mpg from my Golf TDi, getting 22-23 mpg just doesn't feel very rewarding.
