I arrived at Gartner Hyundai and was  greeted by Mike Budzinski.  I told him I wanted something small and sporty that definitely had some pick up.  He immediately showed me the Tiburon and it was love at first sight.  It handled beautifully and I loved how fast I could accelerate and take turns.   I always felt like I was in control.  I named him Leo (yes, I am one of those weird people who names my car).   Leo and I had a great run for six years.  I bragged constantly about him and recommended Hyundai to anyone who would listen.  Anytime something was wrong, I would bring it back to Gartner and everything was covered under the warranty.  Being in my early twenties, I did not have money for car repairs so the Hyundai Assurance Plan fit perfectly into my lifestyle.   Unfortunately, Leo was involved in an accident and I had to let him go.  Which brings me back to Gartner Hyundai once again.

I decided that  at this point in my life, it was time for something a little bigger.  I was extremely nervous about driving anything larger than a sports car because I had become so accustomed to that size.  I am only 5’3” and always had the fear that  a crossover or an SUV would be too large and make me feel like I couldn’t control it.  I met with Mike Budzinski once again to go over my options.  The one thing that always concerned me about the Tiburon was driving in inclement conditions.  I knew that I wanted something larger with AWD so I could deal with the weather here in lovely Chicagoland.   

The first thing Mike showed me was a 2011 AWD Tucson.  I liked it right away.   I loved both the interior and exterior; I thought that it still looked really sporty and fun, just like my Tiburon.  The test drive was great because I realized that the Tucson has the heart of a sports car.  I did not feel like I was in an SUV; It was so responsive and fun to drive.  I can drive the Tucson the same way I drove the Tiburon and still get pretty much the same results.   Better yet, the Tuscon is a dream to drive in bad weather.  The last snow storm we had, I was stuck on RTE 59 during rush hour.  Anyone who has been stuck on RTE 59 during rush hour and a snowstorm knows my pain!  I was watching cars all around me sliding, getting stuck, going off the road and spinning out.  My Tuscany (that’s his name) acted like it was driving on dry pavement.  NOT ONCE did I feel like I lost any control of my car.  It did exactly what I wanted it to and never skidded our slid around.  I honestly felt bad for everyone who wasn’t driving my Tuscon.

Another reason I love my Tucson are all the little creature comforts.  I love that I can adjust the height of my seat so its perfect whether I’m wearing heels or flats.  I know the men out there won’t understand but I’m sure any woman reading this will agree that is such a great feature.  I also love being able to control my ipod through the stereo.  Everything on the dashboard is easy to read and the steering wheel controls are so incredibly convenient.  Any one of my friends who has driven my Tucson wants one for themselves.  I tell them to go to Gartner because I’m never getting rid of mine!!!!

The 2012 Hyundai Azera is definitely a head turner.  In fact, Al Vinikour of the Chicago Sun-Times said, “The Eurythimics’ hit song ‘Sweet Dreams’ has a famous line, ‘Sweet dreams are made of this.’  After test driving the all-new 2012 Hyundai Azera it sounds like Annie Lennox must have driven one.”

Haven’t seen the new 2012 Azera yet?  Just take a look at the picture below.  For me, it was “Love at First Sight.”  The Azera is a premium large sedan, comparable in size to the Toyota Avalon, Buick LaCrosse, Nissan Maxima and Ford Taurus.  However, in my opinion, size is the only comparison.  When it comes to styling, ammenities, interior touches and overall appeal of the Azera, the Lexus ES350 comes to my mind.  Sure, there are differences between the Azera and the ES, but most our minor depending on your tastes, unless you are looking at the window sticker of both vehicles.  Price is a HUGE difference between the two cars.

The new Azera will be offered in just one model, as opposed to prior years in which the car was offered in both the GLS and Limited trim levels.  There is one package, the Technology Package available and that package retails for $4,000.  The Technology Package includes:

• 19-inch alloy wheels and tires
• Panoramic Sunroof
• HID Xenon headlights
• Rear parking assistance sensors
• Infinity Logic7 14-speaker audio system (550-watts)
• Power adjustable tilt and telescopic steering column
• Integrated Memory System (IMS): Power Driver’s seat, exterior mirrors, and steering column
• Ventilated front seats
• Driver’s seat cushion extension
• Power rear sunshade
• Manual side window sunshades
• Interior ambient lighting

However, please don’t feel like you need to upgrade; even without the Technology Package, the 2012 Hyundai Azera is inundated with an impressive standard feature line-up.  Here are just a few of the “Stand Out” STANDARD features on all Azeras:

• Navigation system with touchscreen display and rearview backup camera
• Blue Link Telematics
• Dual Automatic Temperature Control
• Bluetooth with phonebook transfer
• Leather seating with heated front and rear seats
• Proximity key with push-button start
• Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
• Electronic Stability

The list of standard features just goes on and on and on and…… …….. hmmm, ok, I think or hope I made my point here.  Now on to pricing.

The 2012 Hyundai Azera starts out at an MSRP of $32,875, which includes the $875 destination fee.  If opting for the Technology Package, just add $4,000.  Remember the Lexus ES350 I mentioned earlier?  Well, a comparably equipped ES350 would have an approximate MSRP of $45,700 (which does include Navigation and BlueTooth).  Sure, there are a few features lexus offers which the Hyundai doesn’t, but I know I can live without a full size spare tire.  And, although voice commands for the Nav System and swiveling headlights are nice, are they really worth $9,000?  You be the judge.

Gartner Hyundai’s initial two shipments of the 2012 Hyundai Azera will include 6 cars in total; some with the Technology Package…some without.  Currently, all but one of the Azeras are available for sale, but we have a feeling they will sell quickly.  So, please contact us or stop in for your personalized test drive soon.

Although, Saab is experiencing a rough patch right now, many true Saab enthusiasts, including the staff of Gartner Saab in Aurora, IL, believe that the car company will prevail in the long run.  In fact, there have been reports from Sweden, that there are new parties interested in possibly purchasing the Saab brand.  

In the meantime, though, Gartner Saab is offering large discounts on all new Saab inventory.  For example, take a look at our 2011 Saab 9-5 Premium Sedan in Laser Red, Stock # S2220.  The MSRP is $45,255.  Gartner has this car sale priced at only $29,999.  That is a whopping savings of $15,256.  And no, there aren’t any crazy rebates involved, so everyone qualifies for this price.  

This particular 9-5 is equipped with a variety of luxury features and amenities.  For starters, the car is powered by a fuel-efficient turbo charged 4 cylinder engine that boasts 220 hp and only requires 87 Octane.  Step inside the “cockpit”, a.k.a., driver’s seat, without ever taking the key out of your pocket to unlock the door, via the “Smart Key” technology.  Then, with the push of a button (again, no key), the car is ready for take-off.

Open the large Panoramic Moonroof, and let the sunshine in, while listening to either Sirius XM radio, songs from your iPod or even stream music from your phone via the Hands Free Bluetooth Connectivity.  If there weather is a little too cool for an open roof, close the sunshade with a push of a button, and turn up the heated seats to keep nice and cozy.

There are so many more features to mention, but this press release would soon become a novel if I mentioned them all.  For more information, please visit the listing on our website.

http://www.gartnersaab.com/detail-2011-saab-9~5-4dr_sdn_ …

Please keep in mind; the savings don’t stop with this particular Saab 9-5 Sedan.  Again, all New Saabs have been discounted at Gartner Saab.  There are only 17 vehicles remaining, and once they are gone….they are gone.  This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.  

Gartner also offers extended service contracts on all of our Saab vehicles, eliminating the need to worry about expensive repairs, should something happen.  Please contact us for more information about the available coverages.

Well, at Gartner Hyundai, we are not immune to this either.  There are times when, for whatever reason, we run into someone who might be having a bad day and take it out us, and let’s face facts, we work in the car industry, and from what we’ve heard, some people just don’t like us…(said jokingly).  And, unfortunately, we like other folks sometimes tend to dwell on that.

Hence the reason for this blog.  For every one person who isn’t the most pleasant to deal with, Gartner Hyundai has at least a hundred customers who are an absolute joy to work with.  And, without you, we obviously wouldn’t be here today. So, for that, we would like to say THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU!!!!

First and foremost, we appreciate you giving Gartner Hyundai the opportunity to earn your business whether it be in sales, service or parts.  We know that you work hard for your money, and there are plenty of places to buy and service a vehicle,  so to have you walk through our doors, we are truly grateful.

Also, thank you for those of you who leave us reviews (even the negative…after all, we can’t fix what we don’t know is broken), take time out of your day to let a manager know how well a certain employee did, or even just chit chatting with your Sales Person while your car is getting an oil change.  Just like the little things in life can turn a bad day into a great day for you, the same is true with the folks here at Gartner Hyundai.

Thirty-two successful years in business wouldn’t have been possible without each and every one of you!

Gartner Hyundai News – Hyundai Equus Receives J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Apeal Award

Gartner Hyundai – A Premier Chicago Equus Dealer

Gartner Hyundai of Aurora, IL is proud to be one of the select few Authorized Equus Dealers in the Chicago Market. At Gartner, we staff a dedicated Equus Champion Team to ensure the level of service meets or exceeds the expectations of the astute luxury car buyer. Additionally, Gartner Hyundai is pleased to share the latest Equus Award.

J.D. Power and Associates designated the 2011 Hyundai Equus as its most appealing large premium car in the 2011 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study? as Hyundai soared in the annual owner survey. In its 16th year, the APEAL study examines owners’ assessments of the design, content, layout, and performance of their new vehicle. Vehicles and their brands are scored on a 1,000 point scale.

The Equus exceeded 900 points in this year’s study, achieving the highest APEAL score of any model in the industry. Equus outscored all other luxury premium sedans and performed considerably better than the segment average in the categories of vehicle exterior, storage, and audio/entertainment/navigation.

“The Equus has the distinction of being the highest-performing model in the 2011 APEAL Study,” said J.D. Power and Associates. “The Hyundai Equus has achieved an impressive introduction into the marketplace from a performance, execution and layout perspective.”

Overall, Hyundai was the most-improved nameplate in the industry and moved up 13 rank positions and 33 points to place 15th in 2011. This is the highest Hyundai has ever ranked in the APEAL Study, finishing ahead of all the Asian and U.S. domestic non-premium brands. The improvement is driven primarily by two of its redesigned models, the Sonata and Elantra, which improve by 57 and 35 points, respectively.

“We are thrilled with the recognition of Equus and the Hyundai brand as a whole in this year’s J.D. Power and Associates APEAL study,” said Frank Ferrara, executive vice president, Customer Satisfaction, Hyundai Motor America. “With the success of our Equus flagship and the unique appeal of our dynamically designed and fuel-efficient Elantra and Sonata, we’re continuing our quest to satisfy all types of American car buyers.”

Additionally, in the tightest race in the study, the Hyundai Sonata finished second by just two points – 818 v. 816 – in the midsize car segment.

If you are interested in the Hyundai Equus, please contact Gartner Hyundai.  And, for your convenience, we can arrange to have an Equus driven to your residence or office for a personalized “one-on-one” test drive and product demonstration. 

For current Hyundai Owners and enthusiasts, including everyone here at Gartner Hyundai, Hyundai’s latetst award from Kelley Blue Book was not that big of a surprise.  Still a great achievement, but the writing was already on the wall.

Kelley Blue Book announced yesterday that Hyundai had taken the #1 spot in brand loyalty, beating out Honda and Toyota, on kbb.com for Q2, 2011.  Automakers have struggled recently to retain loyal customers due to the economic downturn and consumers becoming more aware of issues such as fuel prices and safety recalls.

Hyundai has remained successful through agressive marketing campaigns combined with innovative product redesigns like the successful Sonata and Elantra. In the second quarter of 2011, Hyundai’s brand loyalty was at 52.3 percent while Honda followed with 49.7 percent and Toyota came in third at 47.7 percent. Kia and Mini are the only two brands that have gained loyalty year-over-year, thanks to attractive redesigns and additional models within their respective lineups coupled to aggressive marketing campaigns.

“Hyundai’s product renaissance is benefitting the company not just by attracting an all-new customer base, but by helping them to retain current loyal Hyundai owners, as well,” said Arthur Henry, market intelligence manager for Kelley Blue Book.  ”This latest brand loyalty analysis from kbb.com is a testament to the power of attractive vehicle designs and intriguing marketing in the minds of in-market car shoppers as they consider their next vehicle.”

Gartner Hyundai has seen first hand the number of repeat Hyundai buyers.  We hear comments everyday like, “This is my 4th Hyundai”, “I drove a Honda for years, but I am so happy I went with Hyundai”.  But, the comment we still hear alot, usually from first time Hyundai buyers is:  “Wow, I can’t believe this is a Hyundai!” 

Hyundai has come along way in the past two decades, and as far as Gartner Hyundai can tell, this is merely the beginning.  With additions like the new Veloster and 2012 Azera coming soon, on top of their already fantastic line up, Hyundai is definitely a force not to be taken lightly.  If you haven’t experienced Hyundai yet, or it’s been awhile, do yourself a favor and take a look.  See for yourself what all the “Buzz” is about.  Visit Gartner Hyundai, your Premier Chicagoland Hyundai Dealer, today.

Car shopping can without a doubt be a daunting process at times. Although a lot of dealers now practice ethical sales processes, and with so much information on the internet, an educated consumer can usually pick out the “Bad Apples” from the bunch, car buying can still cause a headache or two for some. Aside from all the obvious car buying obstacles, i.e. what kind of car to buy, how much can I afford, am I getting a good deal, etc…..there are a few less thought of hurdles that some may encounter.

For example, have you ever spoke to a salesperson, and they are just rattiling off features, most of which are acronyms, and the salesperson never really bothers explaining what they stand for, let alone, what they do?  Of course, there are the more common namestays like ABS (Anti-Lock Brakes), but does everyone really know what TPMS or OCS stands for, and better yet, what are the benefits of these features?

Well, at Gartner Hyundai, we try everyday to make car buying easier and more enjoyable.  So, whether you visit us, or someone else, here is a list explaining some of the most common car acronyms in the market today.

• ABS  =   Anti-lock Braking System.  Benefit = allows driver to maintain steering control during a hard braking situation.  The steering wheel will never lock up.  ABS automatically “pumps” the brakes for the driver. ·         CVVT = Continuously Variable Valet Timing.  Benefit = CVVT offers the benefit of having independent control over the intake and exhaust valves of the engine, creating better performance, and usually better fuel economy.  

  ·         OCS  =  Occupant Classification System.  Benefit = a set of sensors detect the weight, seating position, and whether or not the passenger is wearing a seatbelt.  Based on that data, in conjunction with dual-stage airbags, the OCS tells the airbag whether or not a child or adult is sitting in the seat, AND how the airbag (if at all) should be deployed in the event of a collision. 

• ·         TPMS = Tire Pressure Monitoring System.  Benefit = The TPMS will alert the driver if one of the 4 tires is at a lower pressure than the other 3, reducing the chance for flats, blowouts, and also increased fuel economy since all 4 tires will be at the same and correct pressure.
•    ·         EBD  =    Electronic Brake Force Distribution.  Benefit = EBD keeps the tires from locking up in a hard braking situation.  Additionally, oversteering by the driver is prevented by maintaining the proper brake force to the inner and outer wheels. ·         MDPS= Motor Driven Power Steering.  Benefit = MDPS works with the electronic stability control (ESC) of a car to provide handling assistance in slippery conditions or sudden cornering.  It can also deliver some counter steer to help the driver maintain control. 

  ·         ESC =     Electronic Stability Control.  Benefit = ESC is a computerized technology that improves safety of a vehicles stability by detecting and minimizing skids. When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes to help “steer” the vehicle where the driver intends to go.  Braking is applied to wheels individually. 

  ·         TCS =     Traction Control System.  Benefit = TCS momentarily applies the brakes to one of the drive wheels whenever the wheel speed sensors indicates a wheel is going faster than the others during acceleration.  Thereby keeping constant and equal speed to all wheels, equaling better traction and stability.  

   ·         GDI =     Gasoline Direct Injection.  Benefit =  GDI is a variant of fuel injection using highly pressurized gas that is injected via a common rail fuel line directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder as opposed to the conventional multi-port fuel injection that happens in the intake tract, giving the engine higher fuel economy and a high power output.  

   ·         DRL =     Daytime Running Lights.  Benefit = DRL keeps the vehicles headlights (usually on a lower beam) during the day, making the vehicle more visible to oncoming traffic.  

   ·         HAC =   Hillstart Assist Control.  Benefit =  HAC stops the car from rolling back for the first few moments of a hill start, up or down by automatically maintaining brake pressure.  

   ·         FATC =  Fully Automatic Temperature Control.  Benefit = works just like the thermostat in one’s house.  Keeps the vehicle’s interior cabin at a specific temperature by automatically regulating the fans and blowers. Gartner Hyundai, conveniently located in Aurora, IL, just one block west of Route 59 on Ogden Ave, is your Chicago, IL Hyundai Destination.  Our certified Hyundai Product Specialists will be more than happy to fully explain all the features AND benefits of the Hyundai car or crossover of your dreams.  Whether you’re looking for the fuel-efficient, 40 mpg Hyundai Accent, Elantra, Sonata Hybrid, or the new Veloster, to the luxurious Hyundai Genesis or Equus, Gartner’s staff will do their best to exceed your expectations. 

Hyundai has mastered the Japanese art of first launching, then improving on, technology like that from your competitors. Such is the case with their Blue Link Telematics System, which will offer features that OnStar users will be intimately familiear with, but include additional functions aimed directly at Generation Y. Lock yourself out of your new Hyundai Sonata, and a call to their hotline will quickly unlock your doors. Need Roadside assistance? Help is just the push of a button away. Want turn-by-turn navigation? A Hyundai Blue Link Operator will be happy to help you, and just like OnStar, Blue Link provides automated emergency response in the event of a crash. It will also immobilize your car if stolen, just like GM’s telematics system.

Hyundai is clearly aiming Blue Link at the “connected generation”, since the feature set doesn’t stop there. Location sharing will broadcast your location to memobers of your social network, and voice text messaging will ensure that Hyundai drivers aren’t out of touch when behind the wheel. Nanny features will tell you when your car’s been driven outside of a prescribed region by a valet or family member, and will also advise you if a spped threshold has been exceeded.

There’s plenty more features to be had in Blue Link (including some that will raise eyebrows at the NHTSA – National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), but you get the idea: Hyundai has copied OnStar, then found ways to make it better.

Ok, now for the big question? How much does Blue Link Cost? And, what are the different packages? Gartner Hyundai has your answers…….

When the first 2011 Hyundai Elantra rolled off the truck and arrived at Gartner Hyundai, we knew this car was going to be a winner.  What we didn’t know, though, was just how much it was going to win.

The latest award comes from the consistently reliable Consumer Reports Guide.  In fact, they are naming the 2011 Hyundai Elantra, “Their New Top Pick” among small sedans, beating out mainstays like the Nissan Sentra, Subaru Impreza, and Toyota Corolla.

Of course, one of the main reasons the Hyundai Elantra is so attractive to consumers, as well as, critics is the fuel-economy.  The Elantra is projected to receive 40 mpg Highway, and a very realistic 29 mpg in the city.  And, with gas prices expected to hit $5.00 per gallon, every MPG matters.

Even though the Elantra is classified as a small sedan, Hyundai really hit the interior room out of the ballpark.  tall drivers will find good leg and head room, and the tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel helps different-sized drivers get well situated.  The wide foot well has a dead-pedal footrest.  The center console’s lid slides forward to act as an armrest.  The rear seat is also comfortable and offers generous leg room for the class.

The pricing is right as well.  Prices start at $15,550 (including destination), and a very nicely equipped Elantra with an Automatic Transmission will run around $18,000.  On average this about $1,000-$1,500 less than most of its competitors with similar equipment.

Wheaton IL Family

This Review was submitted to Gartner Hyundai in Aurora from our previous customer after the purchase of their 3rd Hyundai.  Although, we are in the business of selling cars, we never like to hear that the new car is a replacement for a total loss due to an accident.  All of us here at Gartner Hyundai are happy that everyone in the Gillis Family walked away….

Here is the Review in their own words:

Just drove home my third Hyundai from Gartner, and while all our past shopping experiences were good, this one was excellent!

Our salesman, Eddie Gawli, was patient, knowledgeable, and understanding as we changed our minds every few minutes :  lease vs purchase.  2010 vs 2011. New or pre owned.

Because our 2007 Sonata was destroyed in a terrible accident last week, we needed a vehicle quickly and although we did not know exactly what we wanted, we knew that we wanted to get it at Gartner Hyundai. Our Sonata saved my family from serious injury, and I wanted to get another one ASAP.

Eddie proved to be the calm in our storm.  He was very helpful in answering all the questions that we had and gave us some great advice on each issue.

I would heartily recomend Eddie to anyone who is thinking about buying or leasing a vehicle: no pressure, no sales pitch, just the facts and answers to the questions that you have and even the ones that you don’t know that you have.

The man is great !

The cars are wonderful !
