i own one also honestly its a pretty good car, i crashed it and someone crashed into me from behind i replaced the hood the two bumpers for 500 dollars and the left back door included and got it resprayed
I understand the hyundai in those days wanted a something planted like the Tiburon but in an economy car. So it's built on a proper solid chassis. Thats why its light like a kia rio, or a yaris from that era, but much more stable. Mine has 135k got it with 75k with factory service history. All I've had to do is the CV joints and new pair of tires up front.
