 I purchased this vehicle at the same 
time the new 2002 Maximas were 
introduced.  I was torn between the 
two, but finances prevailed, and I 
purchased the Hyundai.  It had most of 
the options the Maxima had, except for 
the horsepower.  The Maxima boasted 255 
HP and the Hyundai 190.  The Hyundai 
definitely feels sluggish and since the 
first day I owned it, I kept telling 
everyone it didn't even feel like 190 
HP.  It turns out that Hyundai lied on 
it's vehicles specs' and didn't inform 
owners until the fall of 2002.  The car 
doesn't have 190 HP but 180 and believe 
it or not, this makes a difference.
 I am joining a class action lawsuit as 
a result.
