This made my list of cars to look at when I was buying a while ago.

I test drove a regular Forte not the turbo one and it was great! I think for a DD it would be a great ride. Enough power to have fun, enough extras to be comfy and something thats not a bland vanilla blah blah.

And my, those prices sure got low. They were into the $20s when i was looking at them.

Its why I love buying lightly used Kias/Hyundai's. I can get 90% of the car and pay 50% of the price.

When i bought the GS450h, I found it didn't have a spare because the battery that gave it the sensation of having approximately 450lb ft of torque made the trunk too small to have a spare. I was ok with it.

Interestingly, my 911 does have a spare! But i would totally trade it for a battery that gave it an extra 100 lb ft of torque.

Hmmm. We picked up a new '16 Focus ST for just over $19k 2 weeks ago. I can't see that buying the Hyundai... Oops! Kia and saving $3k would have made me happy.

We had $1500 in savings thru Truecar and we did the deal on December 30th. That helped. Also, Mrs. Lux is one heck of a negotiator.

We had other area dealers willing to sell a base '16 FoST for $19.5k. I'd guess they still are.
