I wouldn't rule out Hyundai given a chance.

I test drove an '06 Tiburon for my ex girlfriend, and I was VERY impressed, much moreso than the Civics, RSX, and Mazdas I had driven earlier in the day.

It was not the Hyundai I had come to know. Fit and finish was VERY nice, the v6 with the 6 speed had some definite balls to it, no squeaks, rattles, very quiet, you name it. When I saw what it cost and just how good their warranty was, I was blown away. May be something worth looking into.
