Topic: My sister's new ride (warning: H-content!)

[Minou]

What trim did she get, AWD or FWD?  The photo you posted is either a Sport or a Limited, both with the 18'' wheels.  The interior shot is from a '07-09 as the steering wheel controls and other details changed with the '10 mid-cycle refresh.

Mine is Granit Blue over grey interior.

Yep - as I said, these are just random web pics I grabbed to show the interior and exterior colours she chose.  Hers is the 3.5 V6 GL FWD - or the base V6, in other words.  Lists at $29k, but the actual selling price was waaaaay south of that number.  No options added other than 3M clear shield and cargo tray - the latter thrown in.

Love the Granite Blue - that's what's on my Sonata.

Same as mine.  I paid $26400. cash in Aug '10 including destination, mud flaps, 4-16" steel wheels, full tank of gas, lock nuts and floor mats.

The '11 has a few more standard equipment such as heated front seats and trip computer.

And 17" are now standard.  Did the '10s have fog lights standard with the V6?

17" alloys are now standard.  Fog lights, bluetooth and heated front seats, power heated mirrors and trip computer are standard as well.  Not sure what came on the 10's.  Works out well - because they wanted all those features, but didn't want the sunroof - which isn't standard on this model.  They also didn't want the added replacement cost of 18" tires down the road - the 17's already look huge compared to the 15" steelies that are on their CR-V.

It's too bad we're not 3-4 years in the future when we're actually ready to replace the Sportage... the Santa Fe 2011 in base form would be perfect for us. Trip computer, heated seats, alloys, etc. All stuff we'd want, but without the sunroof which eats into the headroom a little too much to my liking. It's no wonder the Santa Fe is one of the best selling vehicles in Canada, it's a great value!!

Sweet!  I love the colour combo. 

[Minou]

Yes the 17'' were standard for '10 on all base models as well as the fog lights on the base V6.

Just did the 3rd oil change on mine... almost 11000 km in only 3 months.

Last tank (all highway) returned 8.19 l/100 km over 760 km.  Beats some 4 cyl. AWD CUV's with the power and smoothness of an RX350...

Thanks guys 'n gals.  Well the pickup was smooth, quick and fun - she's really digging her new ride:





Props to Oakville Hyundai for taking good care of her.

I saw one in that color yesterday.  It looked like it had just been washed.  Very nice color!!  Hope she enjoys it.

Looks like they went to town with the Armor-All !!

That's a great colour - love it.
