That was all I needed to hear. The rest of the stuff you complain about is normal after 60K miles. Sure, no one likes dealing with annoying rattles, but the most important thing is did the car leave you stranded or have major repair bills for mechanical problems. That's how Honda and Toyota have built their reps, by having mechanically perfect cars, but not cars that are perfect. Big distinction. Go to any Honda or Toyota forum and they complain about the same crap, weak paint, excessive rattles, wind noise, and it being slower than thought it was (don't you people test drive before you buy?) etc. If you are trying to buy a car for under $25K with no problems whatsoever, you might as well go try to find a needle in a haystack, because you'll have better luck.
As for me, to answer the OP's original question, "yes!" Even in the short time I've owned my 09 V6 Limited it's easily the best car I've ever owned. I haven't owned that many cars, but it's by far the best. I'm still in disbelief I got car that rides this quiet, this safe, fuel efficient, and with this many luxury features (mine has the navigation system), for $26,000 ($1,000 off from Hyundai rebate plus an addition $500 off from dealership). Cars with this many features typically sticker for $30,000 or more. The thing is, I didn't buy my car because I had to due to financial constraints, I bought it because I wanted to. Even if the car were $30,000 I would have bought it over an Accord, Altima, Camry, or Malibu. The fact it's ~$4,000 less expensive comparably equipped was just icing on the cake for me.
