Not exact matches
It isn't as heavy as its sibling X3 crossover I tested the week prior, and during high - speed
driving the steering
wheel feels incredibly natural and intuitive — like a good
sports car's.
Still, at higher revs it belts out a pleasing, high - pitched whine, and Audi's all -

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 -
