Hyundai Motor America recently delivered the first of its new Veloster RE:MIX limited edition models to its excited new owner at Sterling McCall Hyundai in Houston, Texas. Hyundai began selling its special edition production Veloster in mid-February alongside a comprehensive offering of stylish, well-equipped and efficient sedans, coupes and crossovers, including the all-new 2013 Santa Fe SUV and the stylish and fun-to-drive 2013 Elantra GT.

Inspired by Hyundai’s successful RE:MIX Lab program, Hyundai first introduced the special edition RE:MIX production Veloster to consumers at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show at Las Vegas in November 2012. This limited edition production Veloster features an aggressive sporty exterior with a unique body kit, 18-inch dark gunmetal-finish alloy wheels, LED headlight accents and taillights, and unique RE:MIX badging. The interior is enhanced with a 450-watt premium Dimension audio system, push-button start with proximity key, leather steering wheel and shift knob, unique interior light kit and RE:MIX floormats.

This Veloster is a turn-key production offering with an aggressive demeanor, specifically for enthusiasts. Truly a “Re-Mix,” this Veloster is a cool blend of exclusive features and options that synthesize to create a distinctive lifestyle offering from Hyundai. In addition to the exclusive Sprint Gray exterior color, a simplified color palate of five additional Veloster colors will be available: Century White, 26.2 Yellow, Marathon Blue, Ultra Black and Boston Red. The Veloster RE:MIX starts at $20,845 for the manual transmission model (including a $795 freight charge).

“The Veloster RE:MIX represents the ultimate Hyundai lifestyle coupe in terms of style, design and performance,” said the sales manager of Sterling McCall Hyundai. “Many Hyundai customers today are looking for individual design expression, exclusivity and smartphone connectivity. Veloster RE:MIX delivers a truly unique sporty appearance, premium branded audio and abundant tech features.”

Hyundai’s Veloster is an innovative compact coupe that features ground-breaking design, with a unique curbside third door for easy rear-seat access, Hyundai’s Blue Link® telematics system, Pandora® internet radio with seven-inch touch-screen display and a new 1.6-liter direct-injected four-cylinder engine. Veloster continues to attract Hyundai’s next generation of buyers, earning numerous accolades including Bloomberg’s “Best Economy Car,” one of Kelley Blue Book’s “10 Coolest New Cars under $18,000” and Autobytel’s Car of the Year for 2012.

Your Monday Maintenance Tip: Replacing your windshield wipers and wiper fluid

https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQkgr-s0PLjjAbnp_DQbGLlwS1aLwaWNWiQCKJgPGWLlUa5IgECfg

Windshield wiper care is one of the most neglected basic car care tips. Replace the blades every six to 12 months or whenever the rubber becomes worn. Check the wiper fluid reservoir every week or so and keep it full.

"By far THE BEST overall auto service department we have ever experienced," says the author of this review on Google!


A Google User Feb 18, 2013
QualityExcellentAppealExcellentServiceExcellent
We bought one of the first Sonata Hybrids (from Adam Whitener, whom was excellent). And the service department is .... exceptional! From the day we purchased our car and continuing thru to our last oil change at 40000 miles, this is by far THE BEST overall auto service department we have ever experienced. Jason Greene is 'our' service advisor/contact and Tyler Johnson is 'our' mechanic - to say they have been outstanding is an understatement. But it's the whole team - great shop manager to whomever answers the phone, we've always received top-notch, personal service. From Day #1 and going strong. Thanks Paramount Hyundai!

Two Hyundai models named "Best Bets" by The Car Book

The 2013 Sonata and Santa Fe Honored for Exceeding Customer Expectations

http://hyundainews.com/media/images/Low/35857_1_1.aspx?key=5b59d591-8dfd-4786-8460-5fa244cf5205
The 2013 Hyundai Sonata and 2013 Santa Fe continue to add to their trophy cases as both cars have been named “BEST BETS” in the 33rd edition of The Car Book, America’s first consumer car buying guide. This marks the third consecutive year Hyundai Sonata has earned this distinction.

“We appreciate the fact that Hyundai has made a significant contribution to improving the market choice for the American Buyer,” said Jack Gilles, author, The Car Book. “During these most challenging times for the auto industry, the fact that Hyundai vehicles have the quality and features most important to today’s car buyer is a testament to Hyundai’s desire to meet customer needs.”

Now in its 33rd consecutive year, The Car Book has been the consumer’s best guide to smart and sensible car buying. The publication’s “BEST BETS” distinctionsare awarded to new vehicles each year which cater to the needs of American consumers, and in turn, make a significant contribution to the American automotive market. Vehicles are rated in nine key Car Book categories: crash tests, safety features, rollover, preventative maintenance, repair costs, warranty, fuel economy, customer complaints, and insurance costs.

“Receiving “BEST BETS” distinctions for both these vehicles demonstrates Hyundai’s commitment to quality across our entire lineup,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Customer feedback is an invaluable part of Hyundai product development. We strive every day to cater to the changing needs of our customers, and the “BEST BETS” distinctions showcase our ability to process feedback into the quality products that Hyundai owners demand.”

The Sonata is quickly becoming one of the most decorated vehicles in Hyundai’s lineup. With its impressive fuel economy, class-leading technologies such as Blue Link and 7-inch Infotainment System, and its seductive, Fluidic Sculpture design, the 2013 Sonata maintains its competitive edge amongst premium rivals in the mid-size sedan segment.

The all-new 2013 Santa Fe delivers Hyundai’s recipe of bold design and high-output powertrains. With a host of features to please drivers and passengers, functionality, versatility and comfort are key areas in which the Santa Fe exceeds customer expectations.

Thanks to the author of this 5-star review on Edmunds for "highly recommending us to others!"

This is my second new car purchase from Hickory Hyundai and have been very pleased with working with their team. Both times they have been willing to work with me to get the right purchase. Their facility is clean and the people are friendly and inviting. It is not overwelming when you walk through the doors, as I have witnessed in other dealerships. They have an excellent service department and Jason their Service Manager does an excellent job working with the customers. I highly reccomend this dealership to others.

Three Hyundai Models Awarded 5-Year Cost To Own Accolade by KBB.com

 
Three Hyundai models, the 2013 Veloster, 2013 Veloster Turbo, and 2013 Sonata, received Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com’s coveted “5-Year Cost to Own Award.” Each vehicle was found to have the lowest cost of ownership over the initial 5-year ownership period, compared to any other car in their category. The 2013 Veloster won in the Compact Car Segment, the 2013 Veloster Turbo took first place in the Sporty Compact category, and 2013 Sonata bested competitors such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry to take the top spot in the Mid-Size Car segment. The awards will be presented to Hyundai at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show on February 7.

“The 5-Year Cost to Own Awards honor the vehicles and brands, both luxury and non-luxury, with the lowest projected ownership costs,” said Dan Ingle, vice president of vehicle valuations for Kelley Blue Book. “Highly competitive pricing and lower depreciation costs provide Hyundai’s vehicle line-up with a notable advantage. Coupled with impressive fuel economy and affordable insurance rates, it is no surprise that Hyundai is taking this honor in multiple vehicle segments.”

Kelley Blue Book’s 5-Year Cost to Own Award accounts for nearly all expenses of car ownership, including depreciation, expected fuel costs, finance and insurance fees, maintenance and repair costs, and state fees for new models. The awards exist to help shoppers make more informed new-car buying decisions by breaking down typical ownership cost details and naming the brands and models with the lower projected five-year total.

“Low cost of ownership is one area in which Hyundai strives to be industry-leading,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Receiving these awards from KBB.com showcases our ability to cater to the varying dynamics of our customers. Regardless of which vehicle our customers choose - a trendy and ergonomic Veloster, a sport-focused Veloster Turbo, or a family-oriented and user-friendly Sonata - value for money and low cost to own are truly characteristic of the Hyundai ownership experience.”

This is the 2nd time I have leased a Hyundai from Paramount Hyundai. Joel Kaufman helped me the 1st time when I leased a 2011 Sonata, and I was very satisified with the service and with my Sonata. I had no major problems with the Sonata & enjoyed driving it since 2010. Now I have leased a 2013 Santa Fe, and again worked with Joel. He was helpful, professional, informative, but did not pressure me for a decision and to do one thing or another. I love driving the Santa Fe - it is an entirely different experience than the Sonata. I love some of the new features which were not in my 2011 Sonata - heated seats & steering wheel, back up camera, improved navigation & Bluetooth. I know I will enjoy driving the Santa Fe with it's cool Canyon Cooper color, as much as I did the Sonata.

This was our first stop when we were looking for our 2nd vehicle. Matt Church was one of the nicest and most professional salesman we have ever dealt with. Matt knew exactly what kind of car to show me for my budget and he treated me and my husband with the upmost respect.The process was so smooth it only took us a hour and a half and we were in our new car. I will be coming back to Paramount when we purchase our next car. A+ to Matt and Jeff!
