When I was doing my car shopping, I cross-referenced safety, reliability, gas mileage, and.. something else I can't remember ATM. The Honda Fit was in the top 5. I was especially looking at Hyundai, and I forget why I eliminated it as a choice, but I do believe it was because it had either a poor repair record (which would be taken care of by the warranty) or a poor safety record. I'm not talking about your Hyundai specifically - no models of Hyundai made my criteria. Then again, I was looking at mid-price cars, so if that's one of the upper rank in quality, I may not have looked at it.
In case you were wondering, the other cars in my top 5 were the Kia Optima 07 or later(which I got), Ford Fusion, Honda Civic, and Pontiac Vibe. The Optima and the Fusion were both highly recommended by Consumer Reports, although my own research confirmed that - the Ford was my second choice. FWIW.
