Hyundai's venture into full-size family cars has given us a sedan that emphasizes a richly-appointed interior and chrome-trimmed exterior rather than radical styling or futuristic technology. The price is, as they say, right, and so is the long-long warranty, so if style and flash are not your class, the 2004 Hyundai XG350 may be your chariot. The power is quite ample, even though the engine is an older Mitsubishi design; just don't expect a thrill ride. On the other hand it does have a multilink fully-independent suspension with anti-roll bars so the odd twisty road won't cause any problems. A quiet, dependable car and a bargain as well.
