I used to almost always feel like getting into a fist fight when buying a new car. My last few cars have been entirely different though. Just last month, I walked into the same dealer where I bought my Honda Odyssey, test drove a 2007 Hyundai Sonata and liked it well enough. I told him that I wanted to drive out in an hour with the car and trading in my POS Jetta. I'll be darned if I didn't drive home in about 1:15 hours in my new car! I don't know if it's my take-it or leave-it attitude or what, but the last few deals have always gone the way I wanted them to go. Ugh.
