I don't see an issue if she'll dump it at that mileage. And the price is right! And I have no doubt it will go 100K either. As one who tends to run cars into the ground I think about how a car will be after 10 or 11 years (like my '95 and '96 Saab 9Ks).
I think Hyundais and Kias are working on the Japanese model of delivering a lot for the money, but I wonder about where the corners are being cut, because it doesn't make sense that they can produce a car of quality equal to say, a Toyota or Honda (their main targets) for so much less, and still make a profit. But Hyundai is a huge manufacturing conglomerate, so maybe they are selling the cars cheap to gain share (as the Japanese firms once did) and will up the price later.
I'd actually be interested in driving one, but I'd like to try it for a few days on a lot of roads to really see how it compares. I suspect they are OK compared to Japanese (and even American) models, but like most Asian cars are still a step back in handling and vehicle dynamics from European models.
