Remember in high school when you and your classmates were given those senior superlatives that named which of your classmates was the most likely to succeed, which had the best hair, or which couple was most likely to get married?

Here at Hall Hyundai Elizabeth City, one of the models we take out for test drives the most is the 2017 Hyundai Sonata, which remains among our best-sellers because of its combination of style, comfort, efficiency, safety, and value. In truth, the vehicle always has brought all of these things together into a lovely little package, as that always was the vision Hyundai engineers and designers had for the automobile.

More than anything, when Elizabeth City, NC customers purchase new Hyundai cars and SUVs, they really just want them to hold up the way the manufacturers intended when they built them. Nothing is worse than a vehicle that keeps experiencing problems, and the J.D. Power & Associates Initial Quality Study exists primarily to help customers determine which models are going to be the most reliable.

This year, the Hyundai brand made a huge jump up…

Auto shows like the one that went down in Chicago this past month are excellent vehicles for getting news out to fans and dealerships about some of the excellent things automakers have planned for the forthcoming year. In the case of Hyundai, for example, we were introduced to the all-new 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT, a vehicle that will be a little longer, a little broader, and a little more aggressive than it was in its…

Believe it or not, there are some customers who walk into our building here at Hall Hyundai Elizabeth City and tell a sales associate which vehicle they want, followed by price negotiation and the taking home of the automobile.
