I test drove a limited a month or so ago and had mixed reactions. It's certainly better than what I expected in terms of fit and finish but some things were a bit jarring.

The colour choice/feel of the leather seemed sort of weird.
 
In terms of content the lack of Nav and Xenon headlights seems odd in a vehicle priced at nearly 48K. It's almost  as if Hyundai doesn't dare to compete head to head and still wants the 2 or 3 thousand dollar price advantage they get by leaving off some content.
 
I found the power to be OK but just OK and the handling to be too light and "floaty".
 
 All in all I'd rate this as a good effort that falls just a little short of the mark.
Old Jag convertible...one itch I won't have to scratch again.
