I usually buy what the industry calls premium cars. However, my last car, sandwiched between a Jag S Type and my present BMW 5 series was a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 diesel. I fancied a 4x4 for a change and couldn't justify to myself why the ones I was looking at were twice the price of the Hyundai yet not twice the quality. In just under 3 years and 50k miles, nothing went wrong, nothing buggered and other than a recall for the rear brake light line, just servicing trips. The brand new one looks the part too, and I was happy enough with my "old" model. I shall be keeping an eye out for future models but I did like it, and can see why they feel they can offer a full five year warranty.
