I started my search for a new car at Manly Hyundai, and had a truly horrible experience. I test drove a 2012 Sonata, and I liked it and wanted to see what kind of deal they would offer. The sales men were so pushy, basically saying that if I didn't pull the trigger on their offer (which was pretty much MSRP) then the car wouldn't be for sale tomorrow (like they had the only Sonata for sale in the entire petaluma area?). Anyway, it left a truly bad taste in my mouth regarding car dealerships and sales people.
The next day I decided I wanted to test drive an Elantra, and a friend suggested Team Hyundai so I went up there, loved the Elantra, but unfortunately they only had it in a color I wasn't interested in. On a whim I headed down to Petaluma Hyundai. Upon arriving I saw the new 2012 Hyundai Veloster and basically fell in love with it. I worked with sales consultant Dan who made the whole car buying experience completely stress free. He was so easy to work with, was knowledgeable about the product, and I never felt pressured like I did at the dealership. He got me a great deal on the car, a good price for my trade, and didn't try to sell me any gimmicky dealer packages. After reading the excellent reviews on the service department, I'm feeling confident I made the right decision in buying my car here.
