Should I swap my Nissan Primera for a Hyundai XG30?

I have a X-reg Nissan Primera SE Plus with 140,000 miles. I was wondering if it would be better to buy a W-reg Hyundai XG30? Are the Hyundais rated as good cars?

The XG30 was a bit of an oddball - it was a big executive model and larger than a Sonata. It stuck out a bit in the Hyundai range and only came with a thirsty 3.0-litre V6 engine. Few problems have been reported, though there was only ever a handful in the UK. Recent Hyundais are very well regarded: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/hyundai/xg30-2000/?
