All 3 sites are still pretty new so there aren't any activities, but you can read them just for the reference. I was kinda lazy to copy and paste those 2 posts there to here, so....

Enjoy.

Pretty good list there. I will admit my wife and I didn't do too many comparisons when we shopped for our last new car. I will be picker next time around since I want more of a luxury or near luxury car.

I like your tip on the baby/car seat. Do you think Hyundai will let me strap in my kids car seats (with sticky dried juice) on their nice leather seats?

I have to especially recommend that you plan very carefully to test drive all of the vehicles before deciding to buy.

The way my wife and I did that last time around is that we refused a test drive at our first visits to each dealership. We sat in each vehicle, and discussed features, and sat in the back, and so forth, but we didn't drive.

After we had checked everything out, then we went back and test drove the ones we liked.

Having other drivers test drive the car with you is a necessity for several reasons. Most importantly, all drivers must be able to see out of the vehicle and have a clear view of the instrument panel in order to drive safely. Make sure that the steering wheel and seats adjust to accommodate all drivers safely.
