@@jessedigiovannantonio3656 I have a 2013 Gencoupe great cars not one problem @ 120K just doing regular maintenance all stock except KnN drop in filter.
One thing I have always noticed working in a service department, people with very messy car interiors generally don't maintain their vehicles very well.
Actually all the junk belongs to Scotty. He was ordered to clean up his garage. That is what he is doing. He dumps some of his junk into every customers' vehicle after he finishes servicing it.
I own a 2018 Hyundai Sonata. Have friends and family who own a 2018 Jeep Compass. 2018 Chrysler 200 and a 2019 Subaru Outback. Guess who has been back to the dealer with issues? Actually one has been back 7 times.. Guess who hasn’t had one single problem and has double the miles of theirs? Love my Hyundai.
And my sister's Hyundai 2015 can't stay out of the dealership with major issues. I had a 96 Ford Contour, manual, bought it with 240k on it and it lasted me 12 years with close to 300k. It only broke down on me me because the engine oil light burned out. Sayin, it happens! Every once in a while we get a car others poo poo on, but it last, goes above and beyond!
Honestly, it's a 12 year old high mileage car. The issues you mentioned are nit picking. Anyone driving any car from any brand with almost 200k miles on it would be pleased with this level of durability. Something breaks on every car eventually.
Hyundai n Kia have come a long way n are better than they use to be.....a lot better. there's a lot of older high mileage hyundais n kias still rollin n goin strong just like the toyotas n hondas.
I have an '03 Elantra and I can say that it has been incredibly reliable but I'm also taking care of it. That's obviously critical, but little has failed.
my 2010 Elantra = most reliable car ever. 1st 90K miles, 1 light bulb, $26. factory tires lasted 60K mi, 2nd set lasted 60+K miles. Brakes went over 100K.
Got a 2008 Santa Fe for the wife, it has been running great for the last 4 years. The power doesn't seem that bad it's good enough for me. Great highway car, feels safe. Paid $5000. Had 77K miles now has 120K and going strong. Scotty is the best.
i bought new hyundai sedan for $5000 long time ago. Great car. Drove for 5 years without any problems. Got 172K miles. Traded it in for a new car. boring = cheap exciting = expensive i like boring and reliable enough
Lol I knew someone that had a 03 acura mdx with over 150,000 but the wheel broke off rusted while driving. Please. This guy thinks that is more reliable than hyundai never had that issue
That's a fact because I got a one owner, 89,000 mile Elantra 2005 mind you pretty old and it's clean as hell inside. The person took care of it and I do the same. That santa Fe is a person who's lazy. But i think I notice medium to big cars tend to get messier probably because of the better space you get
@@robmalcolm8042 Clean 👌 but build quality is 👎💩. You had good luck but another clean '05 Elantra (purchased w/70k in '13), w/in 2 yrs had a clunky ride, 2 seized calipers, leaky radiator and cabin seals, busted water pump and radio, split leather seats and CELs galore (yes, fluids/filters/belts were changed and no, the driver wasn't heavy). While replacing a control arm, the weld of a nut inside the frame that secured the arm broke (unfixable) and it required a makeshift fabrication to keep it on the road. Price for '08 Santa Fe is similar to a '05-'06 Highlander (got one with 170+k). IMHO, those on a budget should consider that instead.
Have a 2008 santa fe w 165k not a single thing is broken. I replaced wear and tear parts. A solid 2.7l v6 duratec engine. The thing is a solid beast!!!
Come on Scotty be fair, it's 12 year old car! what do you expect? try to compare it to 2008 Toyota or Honda !! I had two of those and i can say it has very good quality.
Just bought a used 2012 4 cylinders AWD, after reading hundreds of reviews I feel pretty confident , that I made the right choice (Knock on wood...), when i took the drive test the car felt safe, strong and comfortable, I hope will last me for a while
@@francescosisto7131 If I remember correctly, the 4 cylinders is turbocharged. I prefer to avoid turbocharged engines because there usually don't last as long as naturally aspirated ones. But I hope it will last you a long time.
That's exactly what I expected from a Hyundai from that era. Perfectly serviceable cars. Little to no frills, but will keep driving until the wheels fall off, or the timing belt snaps. Interference engines.
I have a 2016 kia soul 2.0 (same as Hyundai), I have been driving this car for 3 years and very happy with it. No problems with it. The only thing I do to the car is the oil change and air filters.
David Duarte Got a 2011 Kia Soul and it still runs like a champ. Just keep up with the regular maintenance like spark plugs, oil change, transmission flush, brakes, etc... and it’ll last.
@@carlosdelacadiz6658 Maybe in marihuana induced dreams, we all know Hyundais are garbage. Toyota is light years ahead of them and the rest of the competition.
@@diegopalomino1200 Toyota had one of the biggest recalls in automotive history. Don't drink the kool-aid. Toyota makes some great cars but made some bad ones too, just like every other manufacturer.
Kia Rondo with the same power train as Santa fe. Currently 150k miles on it. The only major issuse I had were AC pulley and sun roof track broken. AC pulley replaced for $200. Engine is smoth as new and surpeisingly fun to drive and nimble. Feel like she will hit 200k miles. Considering how much I paid for this used Kia 7 years ago, it was the best used vehicle purchase so far. Looking for another Hyundai/Kia.
I concur with Scotty as usual. Today (3 hours ago), I sold a 2008 Hyunda Santa Fe with a manual transmission that had over 225K miles. It still had a sexy silver body.
I have a 2011 Santa Fe with 160,000 km ...... brilliant car.....it’s not a Ferrari but it goes and goes.......and big comfortable seats with lots of space......the new ones are brilliant but the prices are going up.....and all these faults that Scotty talks about haven’t appeared...yet....just the usual.....new alternator etc.....
Hey Scotty I bought brand new 2005 Hyundai Tucson and it just turned 325000 miles with original engine and the original transmission the only big issue I had on that truck was the rear subframe rusted away it was an easy fix and still driving it
Tucson is a korean made model which is always going to be better than a santa fe that's made in america only. I did hear after 2021 or 2 they are guna make them in america too tho which the koreans labor union ain't happy about. Me either. Prefer korean made or japanese cars if that's where they originated from. Just more reliable. I know the 2021 is a korean made model tho with some Japanese parts and a little barely american ones.
Sound like he us describing a 1967 Toyota. Toyotas were cheap when they first arrived. Disposable after 3 or 4 years. Toyota went on to build top quality vehicles. Mazda was the same. Hyundai is doing the same. first few years they were cheap disposable vehicles. Their quality is getting better every year. Same with KIA. Nissan went from disposable to quality vehicles and now back to disposable. Hyundai and KIA keep encroaching on Toyota. Meanwhile Chrysler and GM continue to down slide on quality.
Well the koreans are bent on competing if not surpassing the japanese. It's deep if you knew the history between the two countries and china. At first they struggled especially when they relied on mitsubishis older tech they didn't use anymore. After development of the first korean made engine they went and excelled and celled and celled to what they are today. Same for mazda. If you see consumer reports which doesn't lie they even surpassed toyota in reliability which never happened before. So mazda definitely gets props as well. If I didn't have a hyundai it would probably be a mazda or toyota. Not honda as they have fell off. The older ones walk laps around Hyundais prior to 2001 and the introduction of the beta 2 bulletproof engine. but now it's about even if not better for hyundai. Even now I read that the japs want to work with the koreans as they recognize how far their reliability across electronics has improved. The price can be as cheap or a bit more than a comparable chinese product but way better quality and reliability the japs said this of korean products. I feel both jap and koreans cars are alot closer as even new Hyundais have a percentage of Japanese parts when you check the car contents. I still prefer korean or japanese made Hyundais (the new palisade is made in japan which actually stunned me) the vin number starts with a J and a K for proof.
@@robmalcolm8042 yes, the Koreans are intent on beating the Japanese at everything. Vehicles, electronics, and anything else in the future. I had a 2009 Hyundai Elantra. Only one small issue and it was fixed under warranty. I now have a 2017 Elantra and no issues with it. The Korean companies build quality products,
I have a 2009 Santa Fe Limited AWD, about 200,000km on it. Its got the beefier horsepower with the 3.3L. Previous owner took serious care of it so it still looks great inside and out. Ive had to do some major repairs in the couple years Ive had it but all the little stuff, doors, heat/AC, lights and whatnot still works great. Obviously not the ULTIMATE all time SUV but I still love it for a first car. Very spacious for a mid-sized SUV too which is nice for me. As of right now... no lights on the dash either so woohoo
My 2007 Hyundai Tucson with more that 130 000 miles are still going good. Nothing is broken and its serviced regularly. Reliability for me is more important than anything else.
@@xcmskim4 All true. But the 3.3 didn't come with a manual transmission unfortunately. wish it did. Yes the 2.7 is pretty much bullet proof. Only issues i know of... leaking intake manifold (bushings for the manifold runner flap rods eventually wear and leak), vibration damper somestimes goes bad, TPS senders going bad... but really it is very bullet proof. Extremely smooth engine as well.
They used to be crap cars in the 90s and early 2000s, same with Kia (which is why I think Scotty isn't a fan of them). But they have improved greatly in recent years, better than most American and Euro cars.
@@pig12900 2005 Elantra with 89,000 to start (almost at 93,000 to get a oil change) and runs great as well and mint condition thanks to the one previous owner it had
@@pig12900 they have that lady I forgot if it was 2012 (but the latest hyundais are even more reliable but I heard 2005 and above they got much better) but they have the video she went a million miles with her elantra. Hyundai gave her a brand new year as a congratulations. They did the same with a toyota tundra and Nissan frontier. It's the opposite now adays for Toyota and Honda the new years aren't as good they used to be top reliability but the new ones have alot of issues now
I have an '03 with the 3.5l v6. 197000 miles later it's still going strong (truth be told Hyundai didn't make the tightest transmissions back then it still shifts and goes good) can't complain for it's age (though the newer tuscons and Sante Fe's are much better)
i have a 2006 with 512,000km . had to replace it with 2014 with 44,000km as everything started to fail. AC never failed a first for me. served me well for 10 plus years
Yea it's a cheaper suv but realize these 3 things. You get what you buy, depends on the owner and how they take care of the car, and things will eventually break
I bought a 2007 Hyundai santa fe v6 from a old lady and the car only has 55k miles and it looks brand new its well maintained and runs smooth and driving it for 10 hours with no issues
anytime I see lots of junk in the car, that means the prior owner never cleans and is a messy person that don't care about his car. I would walk away from the purchase. There is no way the car is well maintained and all services done.
Paid cash for a used 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport (fwd). The one with the NA 2.4L 4 cylinder engine. I've had it for a year. Runs great. Love it. Highly recommend.
I was thinking the same thing. That's like comparing his Toyota Celica to a Chevy Camaro SS. Also, Acura's are not all that when they reach 200k if the transmission makes it.
Vernon Gamble my parents both have an Acura RDX. Neither have reached 200k yet, and they won’t keep them long enough to find out. But the resale value is still there, so either this transmission issue is somewhat rare or it’s recent enough that the public doesn’t factor it into the price. Whereas a Chevy has very little resale value after 100k.
Used cars (for the most part) depend more on "who" owned them, rather than make/model. Judging by this persons car, it would be a hard pass. You can just look at it and see they don't care about their cars. Oil probably changed every 15-20k. However, I'm sure I can find one with nearly the same mileage that would be in great shape.
Watching this a year after buying a used Hyundai Accent. I use it for in town delivery and so far its amazing, just needs a lot of cheap suspension components replaced tomorrow because of this damn winter and potholes.
@@paulnadratowski3942 I'm enjoying it even in the Canadian winter time, I would probably buy another low mileage one again once this one croaks over. I know how to work on it, and its cheap to get and maintain.
I like how Scotty gives credit where it is due. Hyundai and Kia are still way better than Jeep, Volkswagon, and Chevorlet. Very comparable to Nissan, Mitsubishi, Ford, Subaru, and Mazda. However, not quite the long term quality, durability, reliability, and affordability of Toyota/Honda and Lexus/Acura that can last 20+ to 30+ years.
You said it perfectly. I like how Hyundais drive (smooth and quiet), but they haven't been around as long as Toyota and Honda and don't match their quality, at least yet. Hyundai isn't the greatest, but they're not the worst by far.
I am a Hyundai fanboy. Sold them for 5 years at the end of a 25 year selling mostly Luxury cars. Liked them so much I bought one for my wife before I retired. Got it for a super deal the manufacture gave it to me at thousands off the invoice price like I was an employee of the manufacturer. It has performed perfectly since day one. Have only had to do regular maintenance, 4 tires and front breaks, and a battery. 60K miles and it’s never needed to go back for warranty work. Not only that but the power train is still covered for 100K miles or until 2025!!! It’s an Elantra Limited so it has all the bells and whistles even heated seats front and rear. My grandkids love that in the winter months. My wife picks them up from school m-Thursday. The Hyundai has been a perfect car for us. Being in the car business I always said I’d never buy a new car cause I saw how much value they would always loose! Hyundai changed my mind. Oh yea, I did also change the TPS sensors when I got the new tries.
I gave my daughter a 2006 Hyundai Sonata on her 16th birthday. She just turned 23 and still drives it daily. Car hasnt had any major issues. I definitely trust Hyundai.
2009 Hyundai Genesis sedan with 174,000 miles, drive it like it's the 300 horsepower rear wheel drive beast that it is, always over 100mph, sometimes 130! No problems, no issues (except the Bluetooth stopped working). Hyundai's have been on their game for over a decade and getting better at a blinding pace.
In 2011 I bought a 2006 Sonata V6. I loved that car. It had 97K miles, good condition. Traded it in at 167K for a new 2013 Sonata...that car was awesome!
I have a 2009 Santa Fe. I love it, for my needs it is a great value. I am not a "car guy", and just need a reliable car with a modest price. This car has been perfect for me.
My family had a 2012 (61) Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi, and during the 7 years and 99,000 miles we had owned it for, it proved to be very reliable. We now have a newer 2015 (65) model Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi as of May 2019.
Hyundai vehicles seems really good. I got a 2006 Hyundai Tuscon brand new never used in 2006 and as of today has 152,600 miles and I still drive it. Only thing wrong with it is a tire pressure sensor somewhere but still runs on the road today flawlessly.
Hey Scotty - we're STILL driving our 2007 Santa Fe that we bought new that year. It just turned over 200,000 miles (MILES, not kilometers), and it's still running great. It's had some repairs along the way, but nothing major (like tranny or engine). Ours is 2WD with the 2.7L V-6...gets around in snow just fine with a good set of tires on it (we live in Minnesota). Replaced the timing belt at 100K, so will probably do that again soon. We'll probably keep driving this for another 50K at least. Hyundai's quality on these was excellent. All body hardware intact (no broken door handles like on the one you're looking at) and just has one small rust spot developing behind the front wheel well.
My cousin has one that's the same vintage with 375,000 kms on it and still going. Just typical wear and tear items. BTW Hyundai is pronounced the same way you pronounce Sunday. Keep them coming Scotty. You rule
Scotty...I just6 inherited a 1st gen '04 Sante fe from my mother-in-law. Super clean interior, body not bad. Didn't smoke, leak etc. Has 150K on it but so what. Just before I got it she put struts and a new cat in it. I threw a timing belt kit in it, flushed all fluids, new A frame arms and I betcha this sucka runs for another 100K. It's a nice lil SUV I think.
Hyundai is one of the most improved car companies... they went from building cheap, unreliable econoboxes to making quality cars and SUVs with one of the best manufacturer’s warranties available!
So much talk! We have had a 2017 Tucson which has been lovely, reliable, comfortable, all round good; and, I still am happy to get into our older Corolla, 2007, as my second car, never having spent a penny, and feels as new, so quiet, smooth, reliable, so, if the car pleases, does well, you beauty!
My dad drives a 2013 Hyundai Sante Fe with more than 100k miles , nothing went wrong with the car these 7 years. The hyundai service in my area is really great and cheap. My dad loves his Hyundai
Great choice man. My wife has a 2019 Hyundai Tuscon, she use to have a 2017 Hyundai Tucson, and I've had a 2015 Hyundai sonata sport turbo, 2018 Hyundai Elantra sport, and now 2019 Hyundai Veloster N. They've been super great cars. Interiors are cheap but it is what it is.
Scotty just admit it , Hyundai is coming up on Honda and Toyota soon😉. Now! I can give it too about it being cheap plastic everywhere but I believe they put the saved value into the engines...I honestly feel like Hyundai quality control is better than Kia 🤷🏾♂️. YES ik their the same company.
Eh I'd still take a KIA over a Hyundai. I know people with each brand, the KIA is holding up better in every way. Korea has gotten a lot better with their cars no doubt about that. But you won't be getting Korea's best when you buy a Hyundai that's all there is to it. It's cheap and it runs, nothin wrong with that.
Careful with their "theta II" GDI engines. They recalled millions because of fires. NHTSA is investigating. Other than that they are very good vehicles for their price.
Dear Scotty. I'm yr new fanatic fan and always love your video. I fell in love with Hyundai when my son bought his first car: a 2004 Getz (1.3L SOHC, 60kw, 82PS) last Dec 2020 in good shape and surprisingly it's an incredible sprinter with strong engine performance that beat any of famous Japanese city cars here with 1.3, even 1.5L engines. The cabin absorbs the noise very well, & absorbs the bumpy roads excellently. The only parts my son have changes lately were : rear shocks, ISC, Knock Sensor and filters (he use Mobil 1 Super 2000 X2 15-40). I helped him clean the PCV Valve and recently put LOGIC Power Booster in the lighter to make the whole performance better & protect the ECU & whole electricity. The recent problem is one of its Throttle Body's water inlet (water coolant assy) male connector was broken due to rust (the prev owner used tap water instead of coolant i guess), but my friend said it doesnt need that water inlet channel bcoz we live in tropic area. He suggested my son to bypass it. What do u think guys?
Have a 2004 Santa Fe with 192000. Bought it brand new in December 2003. Still running fine and looks great. But have the same issue with the airbags. Also have replaced several door handles and the headlights. Extremely reliable after all these years and has never failed me on the road. It’s paid for so I just keep on driving it! 😀
1-My 2015 Tucson engine piston was seized during long trip. Towing cost me $2000 CAD, quoted $8000 cad for replacing new engine. I found NO single drip of engine oil left, no leaking sign though. 150 K km odo I put this info to Edmund's car review. 2-Another 2014 Tucson bought from auction, lacking power, no accident history. Odo: 140k km. I promise I tell the truth.
the 2005-2009 has a weak but reliable 4 cylinder. Underpowered for the car and only barely decent if you take it with the 5 speed manual which is FWD only. The 2.7 V6 with the 4 speed auto is also ultra reliable. At around 200000km, many of the 4x4 versions have an issue with the rear diff. a bearing goes bad. Hyundai claims none serviceable. but it's a lie, you can find the part numbers and those costs like 30$ of parts, but a mechanic would charge up 200-300$ for the work of rebuilding it. which beats buying a used or new one for a lot more. My 2007 V6 Tucson 4x4 has been ultra reliable. but now it needs a wheel bearing. The newer Tucsons, also called IX35 depending on where you live, have the newer 2.4 Liter GDi engines which have almost the performance of the older V6 but not as reliable long term.
lol described my sant fe perfectly, going onto to 225k ^^, got it at like 185k, one of my doors is busted, air bag light etc to the tea, it's cheap and it gets me around, seems a slight bit faster when you avoid the urge to pile a bunch of junk in the back. I hate speed bumps, acs still cold etc etc
This Hyundai Santa Fe is better than that Acura with a smaller turbo charged engine. Remember it has a V6 and gets better gas mileage, cheaper to maintain and will last longer than even a turbo charged Honda/Acura or any brand that has a smaller engine but more power from a turbo.
Scotty, I have the 2012 Santa Fe with the V6 @275 hp. It's what I could afford at the time. They do honor there warranty though. It was the most reliable mid size SUV at that time. Much better than my Jeep Cherokee, $$$ 😬 thanks for the videos. Best
@@nervotica7991 My 98 Jeep I loved accept the darn computer kept failing and once while taking a left turn in traffic. The ruggedness of that Jeep was great however. The Hyundai is reliable at 55,000 mi. Best
Word man my girl has been having issues with her Jeep compass now mostly and a couple others a quite a bit. My Hyundai Elantra no issues and it's 2005 her car is 2010
HYUNDAI>>>ACURA!!!! I had an '08 Acura Sedan and a '10 Hyundai SUV. Mechanically, both were reasonably reliable but I'd say the Hyundai was slightly better. Acura had more electronic glitches it did have more electronics. The Acura's plastics(interior and under the hood) , interior trim and leather were MUCH MUCH worse over time than Hyundai. For example, all the Acura fuse boxes were dry rotted. Not to mention the $1,0000 routine timing belt service for acura. Overall, I'd buy Hyundai over Acura, but now I drive Toyota.

Often the airbag light is a result of the clock spring in the steering breaking. Had the same in my 2011 Sonata. Did 155,000 miles with no other issues
Can't compare Acura to a Hyundai. It's time to realise that Hyundai have come on along way, especially since the Stella and Pony. They should be considered if you want a reliable vehicle with good features for less money they are great vehicles.
@@nervotica7991 yeah, I commute 100km round trip to work (Canada) so I needed something that will last me to 400,000km with no major issues, and I only trust Honda or Toyota for that, I do 30,000kms a year. why do you say I dodged a bullet?
I have 3 Hyundai Veracruz's. 2008 -216,000 miles, another 2008- 191,000 miles, 2007- 195,000 miles. Big v6, they have aisin transmissions(same as toyotas). My cars are absolutely perfect. I have never had to replace anything on them. Just fluids, belts, brakes. All drive perfectly. Before that i had 2 - 2006 sonatas. 220,000 miles and 140,000 miles. Never replaced a single part on those either. I also had a Kia Sedona-2006 with 120,000 miles. Again, never had to replace a single part. I think Scotty associates all Hyundais with the econo boxes they came out with in the 90's.
That’s a pretty biased opinion Scotty. The car’s owner is disgusting, they ruined the vehicle. That’s not normal tear and wear on a car, just a shitty owner who only puts gas and drives away. Door handle breaking etc... that’s all on the owner. My neighbor has the same car with 227 k miles and immaculate condition. Cosmetics are like brand new, no engine or electrical problems so far. No lights on the dash either and the tire pressure sensors are working. Not like the junk behind you.

One thing I have always noticed working in a service department, people with very messy car interiors generally don't maintain their vehicles very well.
I would agree with that.
Not always true. My car is a mess, but mechanically very well maintained...

Yep 👍
All of Scotty's customers seem to be hoarders. Their cars are always messy and filled with junk.

Actually all the junk belongs to Scotty. He was ordered to clean up his garage. That is what he is doing. He dumps some of his junk into every customers' vehicle after he finishes servicing it.
more people spending more time in their vehicles (living in them). Hyundai santa fe good choice for that. Kia Sedona even better.

I own a 2018 Hyundai Sonata. Have friends and family who own a 2018 Jeep Compass. 2018 Chrysler 200 and a 2019 Subaru Outback. Guess who has been back to the dealer with issues? Actually one has been back 7 times.. Guess who hasn’t had one single problem and has double the miles of theirs? Love my Hyundai.
2017 was the last year the Chrysler 200 was made.
And my sister's Hyundai 2015 can't stay out of the dealership with major issues. I had a 96 Ford Contour, manual, bought it with 240k on it and it lasted me 12 years with close to 300k. It only broke down on me me because the engine oil light burned out. Sayin, it happens! Every once in a while we get a car others poo poo on, but it last, goes above and beyond!
Agree, the Koreans are making decent vehicle... but not cheap today.... unless you buy used. The Kia Telluride is a nice suv to drive..
Spiritually Inclined then its a 2017 lol. My bad.
Hi Lot the 2020 Telluride looks pretty cool, but I’ll stick with my Honda!!
Honestly, it's a 12 year old high mileage car. The issues you mentioned are nit picking. Anyone driving any car from any brand with almost 200k miles on it would be pleased with this level of durability. Something breaks on every car eventually.
B L Using this car to make statements about Hyundais in general is totally unfair. There’s a lot here to suggest that this car has not been cared for.
Not true. Scotty has countless customers with Toyota products that have 300,000+ miles and zero mechanical failures, remember? 😉 🙄

what's an extra minute for some extra fun with the space bar ? habit of mine.
I have an '03 Elantra and I can say that it has been incredibly reliable but I'm also taking care of it. That's obviously critical, but little has failed.
My 2009 was great. Bought a 2017.
My 2015 Hyundai Elantra GT has been bulletproof. No problems with it.
Hyundai quality and reliability have been up ever since they came out
my 2010 Elantra = most reliable car ever. 1st 90K miles, 1 light bulb, $26. factory tires lasted 60K mi, 2nd set lasted 60+K miles. Brakes went over 100K.
Miami Sunrise 240,000 on my 2004 Elentra, great car ! I leased an 2018 Elentra sport will prob. buy out the lease !
Got a 2008 Santa Fe for the wife, it has been running great for the last 4 years. The power doesn't seem that bad it's good enough for me. Great highway car, feels safe. Paid $5000. Had 77K miles now has 120K and going strong. Scotty is the best.
i bought new hyundai sedan for $5000 long time ago. Great car. Drove for 5 years without any problems. Got 172K miles. Traded it in for a new car.
boring = cheap
exciting = expensive
i like boring and reliable enough
Fast, reliable and cheap. You can have any 2 but not the 3rd.
Any car that's not well maintained will become an endless money pit;
Hyundai and Acura included
If you dont you will die.. Whats your point
Lol I knew someone that had a 03 acura mdx with over 150,000 but the wheel broke off rusted while driving. Please. This guy thinks that is more reliable than hyundai never had that issue
I lol'ed. "The seats are kinda stained (but that's not the cars fault)."
That's a fact because I got a one owner, 89,000 mile Elantra 2005 mind you pretty old and it's clean as hell inside. The person took care of it and I do the same. That santa Fe is a person who's lazy. But i think I notice medium to big cars tend to get messier probably because of the better space you get
@@robmalcolm8042 Clean 👌 but build quality is 👎💩. You had good luck but another clean '05 Elantra (purchased w/70k in '13), w/in 2 yrs had a clunky ride, 2 seized calipers, leaky radiator and cabin seals, busted water pump and radio, split leather seats and CELs galore (yes, fluids/filters/belts were changed and no, the driver wasn't heavy). While replacing a control arm, the weld of a nut inside the frame that secured the arm broke (unfixable) and it required a makeshift fabrication to keep it on the road. Price for '08 Santa Fe is similar to a '05-'06 Highlander (got one with 170+k). IMHO, those on a budget should consider that instead.
I wish I could post a picture this is my sante fe lol. 2007 235,000 on it. Some cheap things did break on it.
My santa fe has 300k on clock 2007 year and still going strong,never had any problem with it.
If you take care of it it will run forever. Cheers
How often you changed the timing chain?
@@shamandalei9452 once every 200k
Have a 2008 santa fe w 165k not a single thing is broken. I replaced wear and tear parts. A solid 2.7l v6 duratec engine. The thing is a solid beast!!!
Come on Scotty be fair, it's 12 year old car! what do you expect? try to compare it to 2008 Toyota or Honda !! I had two of those and i can say it has very good quality.
Santa Fe is one of the most under-rated cars. Just make sure you get the V6's, and only up to 2012. After that, they had the engines recalled.
Yes they are!!! I had 2005 Hyundai Santa lost its battle this year 2021. It gave me a good Run!!!!!

@@francescosisto7131
If I remember correctly, the 4 cylinders is turbocharged. I prefer to avoid turbocharged engines because there usually don't last as long as naturally aspirated ones. But I hope it will last you a long time.
Imagine you take your messy car in for a repair and then this happens.
I imagine that's why the owners license plate gets replaced with SCOTTY.
I've never had a messy car. They're too expensive not to treat with respect.
Imagine not cleaning out your car before you bring it to a mechanic who you know puts up YT videos and has 3M+ subscribers!!
@@jamespfitz "to expensive" - You must buy new. For a great many of the 'buy it used' crowd, they are mobile dumpsters.
That's exactly what I expected from a Hyundai from that era. Perfectly serviceable cars. Little to no frills, but will keep driving until the wheels fall off, or the timing belt snaps. Interference engines.
The V6s have a timing belt and should never need maintenance. Yay! :-)
@@annespringer5720 All timing belts need to be replaced.

My v6 3.3 has a timing chain
I have a 2016 kia soul 2.0 (same as Hyundai), I have been driving this car for 3 years and very happy with it. No problems with it. The only thing I do to the car is the oil change and air filters.
David Duarte Got a 2011 Kia Soul and it still runs like a champ. Just keep up with the regular maintenance like spark plugs, oil change, transmission flush, brakes, etc... and it’ll last.
Hey Scotty, I have a 1997 Hyundai Elantra with 360k kilometers on it and it still shifts like a dream 😅

192,000 miles on that Hyundai.
An oddball right here. average is more like 100-125K before major issues appear.
Kia Rondo with the same power train as Santa fe.
Currently 150k miles on it. The only major issuse I had were AC pulley and sun roof track broken.
AC pulley replaced for $200.

Feel like she will hit 200k miles.
Considering how much I paid for this used Kia 7 years ago, it was the best used vehicle purchase so far.

Ghost Geist my 2013 Elantra had 198 K with virtually no issues before I flipped and went airborne in it at 70 mph. Lol
I concur with Scotty as usual. Today (3 hours ago), I sold a 2008 Hyunda Santa Fe with a manual transmission that had over 225K miles. It still had a sexy silver body.

Hey Scotty I bought brand new 2005 Hyundai Tucson and it just turned 325000 miles with original engine and the original transmission the only big issue I had on that truck was the rear subframe rusted away it was an easy fix and still driving it
Tucson is a korean made model which is always going to be better than a santa fe that's made in america only. I did hear after 2021 or 2 they are guna make them in america too tho which the koreans labor union ain't happy about. Me either. Prefer korean made or japanese cars if that's where they originated from. Just more reliable. I know the 2021 is a korean made model tho with some Japanese parts and a little barely american ones.
Sound like he us describing a 1967 Toyota. Toyotas were cheap when they first arrived. Disposable after 3 or 4 years. Toyota went on to build top quality vehicles. Mazda was the same. Hyundai is doing the same. first few years they were cheap disposable vehicles. Their quality is getting better every year. Same with KIA. Nissan went from disposable to quality vehicles and now back to disposable. Hyundai and KIA keep encroaching on Toyota. Meanwhile Chrysler and GM continue to down slide on quality.
Garfield Smith nice description!
People laughed at Hyundai in the 1990s . They were junk and endless money pits.
No one is laughing anymore.
You're absolutely correct!!
Well the koreans are bent on competing if not surpassing the japanese. It's deep if you knew the history between the two countries and china. At first they struggled especially when they relied on mitsubishis older tech they didn't use anymore. After development of the first korean made engine they went and excelled and celled and celled to what they are today. Same for mazda. If you see consumer reports which doesn't lie they even surpassed toyota in reliability which never happened before. So mazda definitely gets props as well. If I didn't have a hyundai it would probably be a mazda or toyota. Not honda as they have fell off. The older ones walk laps around Hyundais prior to 2001 and the introduction of the beta 2 bulletproof engine. but now it's about even if not better for hyundai. Even now I read that the japs want to work with the koreans as they recognize how far their reliability across electronics has improved. The price can be as cheap or a bit more than a comparable chinese product but way better quality and reliability the japs said this of korean products. I feel both jap and koreans cars are alot closer as even new Hyundais have a percentage of Japanese parts when you check the car contents. I still prefer korean or japanese made Hyundais (the new palisade is made in japan which actually stunned me) the vin number starts with a J and a K for proof.
@@robmalcolm8042 yes, the Koreans are intent on beating the Japanese at everything. Vehicles, electronics, and anything else in the future. I had a 2009 Hyundai Elantra. Only one small issue and it was fixed under warranty. I now have a 2017 Elantra and no issues with it. The Korean companies build quality products,
I like these car reviews you’ve been making lately - you can’t beat a review from a mechanic compared to journalists’ reviews.
Let me have you a JD Power award...
I have a 2009 Santa Fe Limited AWD, about 200,000km on it. Its got the beefier horsepower with the 3.3L. Previous owner took serious care of it so it still looks great inside and out. Ive had to do some major repairs in the couple years Ive had it but all the little stuff, doors, heat/AC, lights and whatnot still works great. Obviously not the ULTIMATE all time SUV but I still love it for a first car. Very spacious for a mid-sized SUV too which is nice for me. As of right now... no lights on the dash either so woohoo
My 2007 Hyundai Tucson with more that 130 000 miles are still going good. Nothing is broken and its serviced regularly. Reliability for me is more important than anything else.
these 2.7l were bulletproof unlike modern engines! had zero problems with mine at over 300k, just make sure you change the timing belt
Im at 234k and goal is 300k. What oil do you use?
the 3.3L is much better. Uses a timing chain and no issues with the fuel gauge being stuck on E
The transmission are crap tho
@@xcmskim4 every freaking Hyundai seems to have the fuel sending unit problem.
@@xcmskim4 All true. But the 3.3 didn't come with a manual transmission unfortunately. wish it did. Yes the 2.7 is pretty much bullet proof. Only issues i know of... leaking intake manifold (bushings for the manifold runner flap rods eventually wear and leak), vibration damper somestimes goes bad, TPS senders going bad... but really it is very bullet proof. Extremely smooth engine as well.
Scotty I have a 2005 sant Fe 204k miles Im the only owner runs great! Interior immaculate. It’s a boring car but it has been very reliable.
Hey I have a Hyundai, you leave them alone scotty!
They used to be crap cars in the 90s and early 2000s, same with Kia (which is why I think Scotty isn't a fan of them). But they have improved greatly in recent years, better than most American and Euro cars.

@@pig12900 they have that lady I forgot if it was 2012 (but the latest hyundais are even more reliable but I heard 2005 and above they got much better) but they have the video she went a million miles with her elantra. Hyundai gave her a brand new year as a congratulations. They did the same with a toyota tundra and Nissan frontier. It's the opposite now adays for Toyota and Honda the new years aren't as good they used to be top reliability but the new ones have alot of issues now
I have an '03 with the 3.5l v6. 197000 miles later it's still going strong (truth be told Hyundai didn't make the tightest transmissions back then it still shifts and goes good) can't complain for it's age (though the newer tuscons and Sante Fe's are much better)
i have a 2006 with 512,000km . had to replace it with 2014 with 44,000km as everything started to fail. AC never failed a first for me. served me well for 10 plus years
I have 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0 turbo. 135000 miles still running like new. Love it
Yea it's a cheaper suv but realize these 3 things. You get what you buy, depends on the owner and how they take care of the car, and things will eventually break
My Hyundai has been the best car I’ve ever owned. 140k miles 2011 Sonata 2.0T they replaced my engine at 130k. All paid off and I’m holding onto it 👍🏼
I bought a 2007 Hyundai santa fe v6 from a old lady and the car only has 55k miles and it looks brand new its well maintained and runs smooth and driving it for 10 hours with no issues
I recently got a 2007 Santa Fe, 3.3L, with 120k miles. Traded my 2000 Dodge Stratus for it. It has been perfect so far!
Mine Santa Fe 2007 is 270 000 miles on it . I bought brand new , no complaints
anytime I see lots of junk in the car, that means the prior owner never cleans and is a messy person that don't care about his car. I would walk away from the purchase. There is no way the car is well maintained and all services done.
andrew absolutely agreed
Paid cash for a used 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport (fwd). The one with the NA 2.4L 4 cylinder engine. I've had it for a year. Runs great. Love it. Highly recommend.
I’m impressed; this car was designed and built during a period when Hyundai was still “bargain basement”
My dad bought a '08 Sonata GLS $14K brand new ($16~K out the door). Lasted in my family for 12~ years.
My 2006 Tucson 2.7 V6 has 64K miles, new timing belt, changed transmission fluid twice... still rolling.
I own the same car , still running perfectly, very reliable vehicle.
Apples to oranges, Scotty! Jeepers.
I was thinking the same thing. That's like comparing his Toyota Celica to a Chevy Camaro SS. Also, Acura's are not all that when they reach 200k if the transmission makes it.
Vernon Gamble my parents both have an Acura RDX. Neither have reached 200k yet, and they won’t keep them long enough to find out. But the resale value is still there, so either this transmission issue is somewhat rare or it’s recent enough that the public doesn’t factor it into the price. Whereas a Chevy has very little resale value after 100k.
Used cars (for the most part) depend more on "who" owned them, rather than make/model. Judging by this persons car, it would be a hard pass. You can just look at it and see they don't care about their cars. Oil probably changed every 15-20k. However, I'm sure I can find one with nearly the same mileage that would be in great shape.
Scotty I'm a huge fan and I've been preparing for when I get a license and a vehicle of my own ,I'm glad I have you to show me the ropes!
He's talking a very old hyundai. There's a huge difference with hyundai quality from early 2000s to now. Huge.
@Rosco Train Ueah the transmissions in the Tucson’s are pretty garbage.
Is that a "they're improved so much " difference or a "they took the GMC route" difference between now and then?
Watching this a year after buying a used Hyundai Accent. I use it for in town delivery and so far its amazing, just needs a lot of cheap suspension components replaced tomorrow because of this damn winter and potholes.
Datmudkipify | Gaming i had an Accent for 5 years. Great little car. Unfortunately, I totaled it last year
@@paulnadratowski3942 I'm enjoying it even in the Canadian winter time, I would probably buy another low mileage one again once this one croaks over. I know how to work on it, and its cheap to get and maintain.
I like how Scotty gives credit where it is due. Hyundai and Kia are still way better than Jeep, Volkswagon, and Chevorlet. Very comparable to Nissan, Mitsubishi, Ford, Subaru, and Mazda. However, not quite the long term quality, durability, reliability, and affordability of Toyota/Honda and Lexus/Acura that can last 20+ to 30+ years.
You said it perfectly. I like how Hyundais drive (smooth and quiet), but they haven't been around as long as Toyota and Honda and don't match their quality, at least yet. Hyundai isn't the greatest, but they're not the worst by far.
Came here cuz I needed someone in my life to yell at me....Social Distancing is taking it's toll.
I am a Hyundai fanboy. Sold them for 5 years at the end of a 25 year selling mostly Luxury cars. Liked them so much I bought one for my wife before I retired. Got it for a super deal the manufacture gave it to me at thousands off the invoice price like I was an employee of the manufacturer. It has performed perfectly since day one. Have only had to do regular maintenance, 4 tires and front breaks, and a battery. 60K miles and it’s never needed to go back for warranty work. Not only that but the power train is still covered for 100K miles or until 2025!!! It’s an Elantra Limited so it has all the bells and whistles even heated seats front and rear. My grandkids love that in the winter months. My wife picks them up from school m-Thursday. The Hyundai has been a perfect car for us. Being in the car business I always said I’d never buy a new car cause I saw how much value they would always loose! Hyundai changed my mind. Oh yea, I did also change the TPS sensors when I got the new tries.
I Just popped opened a beer. Perfect timing. Cheers 😁

2009 Hyundai Genesis sedan with 174,000 miles, drive it like it's the 300 horsepower rear wheel drive beast that it is, always over 100mph, sometimes 130! No problems, no issues (except the Bluetooth stopped working). Hyundai's have been on their game for over a decade and getting better at a blinding pace.
07" 08" Hyundai's were solid cars for the price, if you wanted an A to B car.
First and Second Gen Santa Fe were the best. i personally think the 2007-2009 non AWD 2.7 V6 with manual transmission was the best.
Yeah. Got an 07 Santa Fe with the 3.3 V6 still going strong
got '07 Santa Fe with 2.2 diesel manual transmission. Wish I had some more power (acceleration)
In 2011 I bought a 2006 Sonata V6. I loved that car. It had 97K miles, good condition. Traded it in at 167K for a new 2013 Sonata...that car was awesome!
i love my hyundai!!!!!!
I have a 2009 Santa Fe. I love it, for my needs it is a great value. I am not a "car guy", and just need a reliable car with a modest price. This car has been perfect for me.
Hyundai 2.7 was the most dependable engine they ever made
My family had a 2012 (61) Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi, and during the 7 years and 99,000 miles we had owned it for, it proved to be very reliable. We now have a newer 2015 (65) model Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi as of May 2019.
I've been very happy with my '08 Azera Ltd with a 3.8L. Runs great and is fast. Great styling too. My bro's Toyota Avalon is VERY "tinny" and creaky.
Hyundai vehicles seems really good. I got a 2006 Hyundai Tuscon brand new never used in 2006 and as of today has 152,600 miles and I still drive it.
Only thing wrong with it is a tire pressure sensor somewhere but still runs on the road today flawlessly.
Next video from Scotty: "Why now I prefer turbo 4's over V6 engines"
Hey Scotty - we're STILL driving our 2007 Santa Fe that we bought new that year. It just turned over 200,000 miles (MILES, not kilometers), and it's still running great. It's had some repairs along the way, but nothing major (like tranny or engine). Ours is 2WD with the 2.7L V-6...gets around in snow just fine with a good set of tires on it (we live in Minnesota).
Replaced the timing belt at 100K, so will probably do that again soon. We'll probably keep driving this for another 50K at least. Hyundai's quality on these was excellent. All body hardware intact (no broken door handles like on the one you're looking at) and just has one small rust spot developing behind the front wheel well.
My cousin has one that's the same vintage with 375,000 kms on it and still going. Just typical wear and tear items. BTW Hyundai is pronounced the same way you pronounce Sunday. Keep them coming Scotty. You rule
Scotty...I just6 inherited a 1st gen '04 Sante fe from my mother-in-law. Super clean interior, body not bad. Didn't smoke, leak etc. Has 150K on it but so what. Just before I got it she put struts and a new cat in it. I threw a timing belt kit in it, flushed all fluids, new A frame arms and I betcha this sucka runs for another 100K. It's a nice lil SUV I think.
Hyundai is one of the most improved car companies... they went from building cheap, unreliable econoboxes to making quality cars and SUVs with one of the best manufacturer’s warranties available!
So much talk! We have had a 2017 Tucson which has been lovely, reliable, comfortable, all round good; and, I still am happy to get into our older Corolla, 2007, as my second car, never having spent a penny, and feels as new, so quiet, smooth, reliable, so, if the car pleases, does well, you beauty!

Scotty just admit it , Hyundai is coming up on Honda and Toyota soon😉. Now! I can give it too about it being cheap plastic everywhere but I believe they put the saved value into the engines...I honestly feel like Hyundai quality control is better than Kia 🤷🏾♂️. YES ik their the same company.
Eh I'd still take a KIA over a Hyundai. I know people with each brand, the KIA is holding up better in every way. Korea has gotten a lot better with their cars no doubt about that. But you won't be getting Korea's best when you buy a Hyundai that's all there is to it. It's cheap and it runs, nothin wrong with that.
Careful with their "theta II" GDI engines. They recalled millions because of fires. NHTSA is investigating. Other than that they are very good vehicles for their price.

Scotty: " Guess which one I'm driving to the parts store ? The Acura!" So honest!!!
Dear Scotty. I'm yr new fanatic fan and always love your video. I fell in love with Hyundai when my son bought his first car: a 2004 Getz (1.3L SOHC, 60kw, 82PS) last Dec 2020 in good shape and surprisingly it's an incredible sprinter with strong engine performance that beat any of famous Japanese city cars here with 1.3, even 1.5L engines. The cabin absorbs the noise very well, & absorbs the bumpy roads excellently.
The only parts my son have changes lately were : rear shocks, ISC, Knock Sensor and filters (he use Mobil 1 Super 2000 X2 15-40). I helped him clean the PCV Valve and recently put LOGIC Power Booster in the lighter to make the whole performance better & protect the ECU & whole electricity.
The recent problem is one of its Throttle Body's water inlet (water coolant assy) male connector was broken due to rust (the prev owner used tap water instead of coolant i guess), but my friend said it doesnt need that water inlet channel bcoz we live in tropic area. He suggested my son to bypass it. What do u think guys?

Have a 2004 Santa Fe with 192000. Bought it brand new in December 2003. Still running fine and looks great. But have the same issue with the airbags. Also have replaced several door handles and the headlights. Extremely reliable after all these years and has never failed me on the road. It’s paid for so I just keep on driving it! 😀
Do your windshield visors flap around? Its an almost given wear n tear for that from 2000-2010 ear Hyundai/Kia cars lol.
*NO*
On my "3rd" engine with my sonata.
1st blew up. 2nd over heated without warning all systems working fine. 3rd is just the 2nd engine just rebuilt
Wolf what year is it
What year Sonata? What engine?
1-My 2015 Tucson engine piston was seized during long trip. Towing cost me $2000 CAD, quoted $8000 cad for replacing new engine.
I found NO single drip of engine oil left, no leaking sign though.
150 K km odo
I put this info to Edmund's car review.
2-Another 2014 Tucson bought from auction, lacking power, no accident history.
Odo: 140k km.
I promise I tell the truth.
Hi Scotty, can you please do a review video on Hyundai Tucson? Specifically the engine and whether or not it is a good commute car to buy?
the 2005-2009 has a weak but reliable 4 cylinder. Underpowered for the car and only barely decent if you take it with the 5 speed manual which is FWD only.
The 2.7 V6 with the 4 speed auto is also ultra reliable. At around 200000km, many of the 4x4 versions have an issue with the rear diff. a bearing goes bad. Hyundai claims none serviceable. but it's a lie, you can find the part numbers and those costs like 30$ of parts, but a mechanic would charge up 200-300$ for the work of rebuilding it. which beats buying a used or new one for a lot more.
My 2007 V6 Tucson 4x4 has been ultra reliable. but now it needs a wheel bearing.
The newer Tucsons, also called IX35 depending on where you live, have the newer 2.4 Liter GDi engines which have almost the performance of the older V6 but not as reliable long term.
Had one of these for 10 years never broke down once
lol described my sant fe perfectly, going onto to 225k ^^, got it at like 185k, one of my doors is busted, air bag light etc to the tea, it's cheap and it gets me around, seems a slight bit faster when you avoid the urge to pile a bunch of junk in the back. I hate speed bumps, acs still cold etc etc
My 2008 Hyundai accent standard I drove over 209,000 miles and after that I sold it for $500. And everything still worked.
Hmm...ahh, Scotty, why does my car have 180 extra miles on it from when I dropped it off to you? LOL
This Hyundai Santa Fe is better than that Acura with a smaller turbo charged engine. Remember it has a V6 and gets better gas mileage, cheaper to maintain and will last longer than even a turbo charged Honda/Acura or any brand that has a smaller engine but more power from a turbo.
Scotty, I have the 2012 Santa Fe with the V6 @275 hp. It's what I could afford at the time. They do honor there warranty though. It was the most reliable mid size SUV at that time. Much better than my Jeep Cherokee, $$$ 😬 thanks for the videos. Best
Now i understand! You compare a Hyundai to a Jeep, and then say it's a good car...
@@nervotica7991 My 98 Jeep I loved accept the darn computer kept failing and once while taking a left turn in traffic. The ruggedness of that Jeep was great however. The Hyundai is reliable at 55,000 mi. Best
Word man my girl has been having issues with her Jeep compass now mostly and a couple others a quite a bit. My Hyundai Elantra no issues and it's 2005 her car is 2010
HYUNDAI>>>ACURA!!!!
I had an '08 Acura Sedan and a '10 Hyundai SUV. Mechanically, both were reasonably reliable but I'd say the Hyundai was slightly better. Acura had more electronic glitches it did have more electronics. The Acura's plastics(interior and under the hood) , interior trim and leather were MUCH MUCH worse over time than Hyundai.
For example, all the Acura fuse boxes were dry rotted. Not to mention the $1,0000 routine timing belt service for acura. Overall, I'd buy Hyundai over Acura, but now I drive Toyota.

Often the airbag light is a result of the clock spring in the steering breaking. Had the same in my 2011 Sonata. Did 155,000 miles with no other issues
No
Can't compare Acura to a Hyundai. It's time to realise that Hyundai have come on along way, especially since the Stella and Pony. They should be considered if you want a reliable vehicle with good features for less money they are great vehicles.
These V6 Santa Fe’s are fast! At least the ones I’ve test drove with the 3.3L, but I stayed with Honda in the end
Count yourself lucky - you dodged a bullet.
@@nervotica7991 yeah, I commute 100km round trip to work (Canada) so I needed something that will last me to 400,000km with no major issues, and I only trust Honda or Toyota for that, I do 30,000kms a year. why do you say I dodged a bullet?
@@grahamrothphotography - the worst car i've EVER had was a Chevrolet Caprice. Next, Hyundai Getz...
@@nervotica7991 that was your experience 😂 not many others that love Hyundais and also own Toyotas to compare 🤷🏻♂️
Nervotica ! Hyundai’s are good too!
I have 3 Hyundai Veracruz's. 2008 -216,000 miles, another 2008- 191,000 miles, 2007- 195,000 miles. Big v6, they have aisin transmissions(same as toyotas). My cars are absolutely perfect. I have never had to replace anything on them. Just fluids, belts, brakes. All drive perfectly. Before that i had 2 - 2006 sonatas. 220,000 miles and 140,000 miles. Never replaced a single part on those either. I also had a Kia Sedona-2006 with 120,000 miles. Again, never had to replace a single part. I think Scotty associates all Hyundais with the econo boxes they came out with in the 90's.
That’s a pretty biased opinion Scotty. The car’s owner is disgusting, they ruined the vehicle. That’s not normal tear and wear on a car, just a shitty owner who only puts gas and drives away. Door handle breaking etc... that’s all on the owner. My neighbor has the same car with 227 k miles and immaculate condition. Cosmetics are like brand new, no engine or electrical problems so far. No lights on the dash either and the tire pressure sensors are working. Not like the junk behind you.
What would make you think they didn't take care of it? Ha ha ha
Still driving a 2008 Santa Fe. Best bang for my car bucks ever spent.
The new Hyundais are better than Toyota
