Alright, let me be honest and tell you a few things that I dislike about this car: - Gas Mileage (Hyundai claims it gives you 25 mpg in the city, which is not true, I get not
more than 23 mpg in the city for sure)- Traction Control (The traction can not handle the acceleration and the wheels would start spinning, even on the dry roads, not sure what to blame)- USB
port - The built in USB
port does not support android, at least not in my case, therefore I have to rely on Bluetooth or AUX)- Dull Alloy Wheels - The dullness of alloy wheels for the SE trim does not compliment the car over all, but eh, I can't complain much as it is a BASE model Now, the things I absolutely love about this car: - Great Turn Radius - Beautiful LED lights (even with base model)- Highway mileage (35 mpg even driving at 75 miles an hour, you might get better than 37 mpg if you drive at 55 miles an hour)- Spacious trunk - Great leg room for rear seats - Just enough power to accelerate quickly and merge on to the highways / freeways - Amazing Brakes - Sports, ECO and Normal Mode (For those who do not know, once
switched to SPORTS mode, the car's steering becomes stiff as well as the engine along with the help of transmission helps you accelerate the car faster, you actually feel like driving a sports car.

more powerful direct injection when you're keeping the revs high and slamming through the corners.

Switch usually only suffers from a frame rate cut and a resolution drop on these multiplatform releases as opposed to the butchering games often got on the Wii due to power, storage medium limitations such as on the Gamecube and N64, and being hard to
port to due to an entirely different development environment as the case was with the Wii U. I realize that these statements are a little oversimplified because it IS
more complicated than that but there are a whole lot of worse ways that Nintendo
ports have gotten neutered for the last two decades because of Nintendo's tendencies to veer left when the market goes right.
