I waited a few months to write this review because buying a car is a huge expense and an exciting experience.   In retrospect this was the best car-buying experience I have ever had.  The was the first time I purchased a car alone. 

First, I can't commend my salesperson, Erik Carrizales highly enough.  He was knowledgeable about the specs of the car.  He answered all my questions.   He was helpful and let me know what I could expect from the vehicle from the lumbar supported seat down to the tires.  He was a good listener and matched the car to my needs.  (I wanted a car that could easily transport my labrador)  He was friendly and easy to talk to and checked on me several times because the Cash-for-Clunkers paperwork took a long time. 

Next-every single person I encountered was friendly and assisted me.  This included the finance person and other sales people.  I felt welcome walking into the huge intimidating showroom.  The office staff checked on me when I was waiting to make sure that I had been helped.   Lastly, I am convinced that I got the best possible price for this car-before the Cash for Clunkers rebate.  I shopped around for 6 months and visited 12 dealers and feel that Gartner Hyundai gave me the best deal I could find. 

Two months later-I'm delighted with the performance of my vehicle.
