So we went in just to test drive the new 2024 Calligraphy, and somehow my wife ended up taking it home! She’s absolutely loving it, and I have to say I do too… though I’m a bit jealous since it’s technically her car. Really hoping she’ll let me drive it every now and then! 
Took my wife in for a test drive too, but I’m the one who ended up with the car! And yep, no food or drinks allowed!

Haha, we broke that rule right away with some bottled sodas on the way home from the dealership!

Oh, I’m exactly the same! Only water is allowed in my car! 
Picked up the same one last week! I’m loving every bit of it so far.
Did you fall in love with it instantly or what?

Oh yeah, totally!
I went in just to ‘look’ a couple of weeks ago and ended up buying one too. Now I hand-wash it thanks to that fancy finish! It’s hands-down the nicest car I’ve ever owned, and I try not to touch anything in it while driving, haha!
@Vic
Same here! I keep a microfiber cloth to wipe off the fingerprints on the screens And yeah, I park miles away from any store entrance.

We looked at the matte version too and even took it for a spin. Initially went in thinking about the hybrid, but the non-hybrid price was better, and I couldn’t tell if we’d actually save in the long run. The matte one looked kind of dirty with all the rain spots, so I started worrying about how hard it’d be to keep it looking clean.
Same thing happened with us! I had a list of options (Toyota, Honda, Kia, Hyundai) and was trading in a 2018 Explorer Sport. Went in thinking I’d take my time, but the red 2024 Calligraphy totally won me over, and we left with it that day. The features, space, and square body style just sold me. Haven’t looked back since!
@Eli
Yeah, that square body style was what drew us in too. It really stands out.
Happened to us too!
Good luck! I keep trying to let my spouse drive mine, but he can be a little heavy on the gas sometimes.
I feel you! My wife got the XRT, and I could only afford the Elantra since I was upside down on my trade-in.
For those who bought the hybrid Calligraphy, did your dealership knock anything off the MSRP or cover the add-ons? I’m hoping to get one, and there are a few dealerships here in NJ.
