If you're considering a Hyundai, take a look at KIA as well. The quality of both brands has increased tremendously over the last ten years or so.
I drove a KIA Spectra for a week or so while my Toyota Corolla was having some body work done. The Spectra is almost a clone of the Corolla, and costs a lot less money. The only real difference I noticed was that the Spectra didn't have quite as much acceleration as the Corolla.
