Reliability
Hyundai's mechanically go on and on, rust can be a problem, however, with a little attention to cleaning might not be too much of a problem
Image
It's a Hyundai, you don't go for image in your 40's comfort and reliability is the thing
Comfort
pity the rear seats can not be removed, Asian moduls have arm rests on the front seats, making for more comfortable driving on journeys

Security
needs an alarm and dead locks in this day and age

servicing cost from Agent are a little on the high side, not competitive, but need it for the warranty.
