Great vehicle EXCEPT tires on calligraphy model
I bought this vehicle 1 year ago. I loved the vehicle and found it a great value for the money. The dealership was also very good for repairs, scheduled maintenance and recall issues. However, I sold this vehicle after having it one year. This was due to 2 issues: 1) the tire/rim combo on calligraphy edition. The tires on this vehicle are a very rare size. Secondly, they are 21 inches. Thirdly, they are Pirelli tires that are not durable AT ALL and very expensive. Also, the size of the tires lends itself to a very thin sidewall. Due to all of the above these tires are very easy to go flat, hard to replace when this happens, and very expensive. In one year, I had issues with all 4 tires, was stranded out of town 4 times (no one had the tire in stock), and they cost approx $550 to replace each time. I spent $2200 on tires in one year. This is a ridiculous choice of tire for this type of vehicle. I would never had bought this model if I realized that. 2) This vehicle sits low to the ground and if you get a hitch put on, it sits way under the vehicle. For this reason, I had to put an extender on the hitch just to carry bikes on a hitch mounted bike rack and then it scrapes the ground every time you go up and down a hill or driveway. I hope Hyundai fixes these issues bc for me, they were significant but otherwise it is a great vehicle.
