I bought a 2013 SEL here in Korea and love it. The grumblings I heard about the MFT kept me back for a little bit but ever since I have had the vehicle (about a month and a half now), it works great. Once in a great while it lags just a bit, but has only happened maybe 2-3 times total. As for the vehicle itself, I used to own a Hyundai Sonata and absolutely loved it, but the more I drive the Edge, I am falling in love with it as well. Road noise is practically none-existent, and with being in Korea, that is hard to come by. And the ride is REALLY smooth when on good roads, and I only say that because again, in Korea, its hard to find a good road. Hope you make the right decision and good luck!
