I really like that new Accent. Truly fresh styling, nicely equipped. I tried to rent one last time on business but they didn't have them yet. Looking forward to a drive report and some pics! Ignore the nay-sayers and get what you want. We had a Sonata and it was indestructible.

I looked at a Hymundai once about 6 years ago, the dealer told me we had to go in the room with the Video cameras before we could talk $$$.
They only did final price dicussions with video running. I said no thanks and went and bought something else ( I do think this may have been this dealer only, or at least only time I have ever heard of that) Felt weird and little commy too me.
About 6 years ago, we almost bought a PT. They asked me to sign a paper on just the price negotiation itself, saying that I agreed to buy the car at the price we agreed on. Fine, whatever. My wife drove the car before the negotiation. I drove it after and discovered a hard pull to the left. They said I didn't know what I was doing and that it was torque steer, and to make a long story short, we refused to buy the car. The sales manager chewed me out saying I was dishonest and that I signed a paper saying I would buy it. Poppyc-o-c-k (weird that the naughty word scanner flags this, even though its part of another word). I said take me to court and we walked out. Never heard another word. I even posted a comment about the car's issue on CarFax.

Allex
Edit: It was an Elantra they compared so I'm not sure if it qualifies here, but here's the link: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...mparison_tests

That is weird. You did the right thing. But even if they video tape you, its not a sale until they got your signature. Even then, most states allow 3 days to back out of a contract. In other words, until you sign the sales contract and the 3 days passes, they have no legal recourse, video or not.
Our cashiers office tapes audio and video of every transaction. Welcome to the new era.

I wouldn't say that, I haven't seen it anyplace else yet.
And that was 6 years ago.
Since then I have bought 1 Saturn, 1 Toy, and 2 Chev, no tape at any of them. Plus another property and a probably a hundred other things.

the cruze is a great car dont let those magazine tests sway your buying experience they are so biased its crazzy. ive had my cruze since december and its a great car its very quiet. gets great mileage depending on how its driven ,as with all cars if you havent drove a cruze atleast test drive one . for the money the cruze drives like a much more expensive car .

trust me I looked very hard at the cruze, but for the features we want, $2000 more, plus the warranty is not as good, neither is the mpg. when I compared similar cars it came in 4th on my list. No point in driving a car that has no chance of being bought.
I have not read a bad review yet on the 2012 Accent, all have been good

Every line up has some bad apples. All 100 grapes in the bundle aren't always good ones.
Edit: I have subscribed to MANY different magazines over the years and the one un-biased magazine I have had is consumer reports. Every year they test over 500 different vehicles and rate them in un-biased ways. If you ever need a good opinion on a new car, that is teh way to go..stay FAAAR away from motor trend.
