The SHO styling just jumps out when you see one on the road. Tauri13 appears to have bought the right model year as well. DI is a big problem. My wife's Accent kept breaking down until carbon buildup was assessed on her car at 55k. After much fighting, Hyundai agreed to do a "goodwill warranty" which I found disturbing given that it's an ongoing problem in many DI cars. It made it sound like we were at fault and they were doing us a favour. Both of our DI Hyundais drink a very regular brew of fuel injection cleaner now...Yes Direct Injection is supposed to be an advancement in engine technology. But it ends up you have to spend money on additives so that your car continues to run properly. It's strange because DI is supposed to give more power ,better fuel mileage ,lower emissions to a comparable engine without DI. It's kind of working against it self.DI seemed like one of those no brainers that had people thinking "Why didn't they do this sooner?"Now we know why....

It's supposed to clean your engine,don't know if you can believe it or not. Then again it's costing you money to put premium gas in a car which is advertised to run on regular.
