i talked so much crap about hyundai for years......... but in late 2015 i bought a sonata,, im now at 83,000 miles, and i must say.. wow im really impressed, all i have done is the brakes front and back.. and the oil changes and the air filter and cabin filter.. and the transmission fluid...
i drive for uber full time, my only complaint... is the road noise... other than that,, my next car will be a sonata
I never thought I'd say it but that Hyundai looks pretty nice
The older Sonatas looks so much better though.
I used to think Hyundais were just cheaply built cars. But I gambled on a new 2013 Elantra GT.
I was blown away by how well built and reliable that car was. So I bought my second new Hyundai in May. A 2017 Sonata SE. And so far I'm equally impressed with this one.
china car = korea car.. both of copy
its poorly built.
Guy Good haha you dont know until try it
Buy a Passat. It looks professional and rides with unmatched smoothness for its class. The Hyundai looks like a toy and will look dated very soon.
the passat still looks better. the Korean and Japanese cars have some crazy love relationship with weird lines, flares, and shapes. it's ridiculous. the clean, conservative, suit like Passat look is a classic and it will also age great. 20 years from now it will still look good.
Ive always found passats and jettas very attractive. They have a sophistication to them that it takes an acura or lexus to beat..... That being said, I dont trust them. Everyone I know whos owned one, has had numerous problems.... However, my aging mother bought a new hyundai elantra in 08. I do all the work for her, which has been very little. Her car has 177,000 trouble free miles now. Ive only changed a few wear items, suspension componets and the battery/ alternator. Its been a great car. Hyundai have proven themselves to me.
Just purchased a 17 Passat se last week so far love it great car 👍🏾
Welcome to the passat club😈
Definitely would go with the Sonata. It looks more modern, lower price to own, better reliability, comfier, and better warranty
Agree
Sonatas are pretty nice. We owned one for a time. Good affordable car. Certainly a good purchase for someone on a tighter budget but want a good car.
Ya
I’d buy the Passat GT! Love VW.
Darren O'Riley better it from Germany cause US version are trash
You probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Marc Tripp Instablaster =)
I like the style of the VW more but I'd take the Hyundai. Plus I've heard long term ownership is usually cheaper with Hyundai compared to Volkswagen.
KYDashcam by like 200 dollars over the span of 10 years
Inan Ismailov
Hyundai gives you fewer breakdowns than VW does.
Darcy Chu
Not true. You spend more to maintain a euro car. But it's for a reason. The build quality is night and day
My Passat arrives tomorrow. I feel better about my purchase now haha!
Will you still love it in 5 years when the timing belt wears and destroys your engine due to vw being to cheap to put in a timing chain?
My wife has a 2016 Jetta Sport, same engine. Very peppy, but we agree about the traction control. During a snowstorm in Maine, we became stuck several times and could not shut it off to rock the car out.
I have the same car and year. Last year we had a bad snow storm in NYC, I love driving through the snow. I didn't get stuck but plenty of wheel spin.
Not the car, get winter tires
Keith Emery I have a passat with the 2.5 automatic ...
I got stuck in snow and pretty much had to abandon it for a few days..
Later looked in manual, which said to hold gas pedal same spot while shifting from D to R repeatedly... I dont know about you but, sounds like something to tear the transmission up...
How did you finally resolve youe issue ?
Um you can turn it off.. hold the button down after esd is off.
I own a B7 Passat I love it it's finish it has power that you would not expect. I have had no problems at all. It's a 2014 and I'm close to 100,000 miles. Only standard service.
john endsley thank you for the review, I am buying 2018 passat
That's a 2017 VW Passat isn't it? The 2018 Passat has a 2.0T.
www.vw.com/models/passat/section/performance/
Yea the 2018 base engine is a 2.0t now with 174 hp but that engine compares with hyundais 1.6t or their 2.4 the 2.0t sonata compares with the 3.6 vr6 passat
The 2018 passat also comes with a 6 year 72k bumper to bumper warranty.
I just bought a new 2017 sonata a few months ago. I did look at the passat as well. I thought the passat looked very classy and mature. However, hyundai was offering 10,000 off the msrp on the 2 liter turbo sport. The price was no comparison as the passat was not offering any good discounts. I am very happy with my purchase. The hyundai is a really good car so far. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another. If prices are the same, I would probably go with the passat though.
Real car people would know that Hyundai is almost a German company. They have engineers and designers from Germany so to improve their brand and it's working.
I have a friend in Korea who always says that the Germans NEVER teach their true engineering secrets and if they do, they only teach half of what they know. You know the germans have many layers and the Koreans do not like the layers or the levels. My friend is one of the top of the line engineer in korea and his teams philosophy didn't change. That is widely benefit humans.
Hyundai is really making great strides. If fact, I really wanted an Audi A6 and my best friend nagged me to death to look at the Genesis G80 (made by Hyundai). Thank God he’s such a nag! Needless to say I was so impressed, I never made it to Audi. And the warranty and the fact that Genesis comes to your home or work to swap cars out for service, it’s a no brainer!
"Can you close the door so it stops beeping!?"... I don't know about anyone else but, those sounded like fighting words to me.
He sounded annoyed with the intern.
He is right, that sound is VERY ANNOYING.
it's designed to do so
It's annoying, nobody wants to hear all that beeping while he's reviewing the car.
They fought like an old married couple. Lol.
The European Version of the Passat is a WHOLE DIFFERENT CAR based on the MQB platform (Golf). We don’t bring it over to you because it is „too small“ for your american preference.
Edit: By the way, most Passats in Europe are Diesels and range from 120hp to 150hp (Highest is 280hp). They also start at 26.800,00€.
The dashboard plastics look so much better on the VW than the Hyundai; not sure how they feel in person but on screen the Hyundai looks like it has much cheaper construction and materials.
I drove a mid-range 2016 Passat as a loaner, and it felt a lot more expensive inside than it was. VW's current interior product is very nice for the price.
The vw is hard plastic, the Hyundai is a softer touch foam material. The vw’s pattern in the plastic makes it look a little cheaper kinda like mid 2000s plastic in my Silverado.
They are not both plastic, the Hyundai is soft touch I have one myself. They may not be luxurious but you’re not getting into any luxury sedan for 28k so stop looking for luxury in a economy family sedan.
Mallcrawler1717, unless VW changed the top of the dash from 2014, it is *not* a hard plastic. It is very similar to the material used on the top of the door sills or the center of the steering wheel. Only the lower section of the doors and lower dash use a hard plastic.
Must be trim dependent like some Toyota’s I guess.
Even though the prices are the same for these particular cars, they have different engine options. The Hyundai has the Sport package with the optional 2.0T engine. But the Passat has the base 1.8T engine. The Passat's optional engine is a 3.6L V6.
I love my 2018 Hyundai Sonata Sport and While I think the VW Passat is a decent nice car, at the end of the day, I want something that looks nice so the Sonata wins hands down.
Hyundai also has much longer warranty and better reliability and also has a hybrid and plug in hybrid version which the Passat doesn’t offer at all
wrong, only in the US, GTE is plug in variant
Too Tall I know was referring to us market
Passats have a much longer warranty now all of the 2018’s do
Walter Peralta
The wasted time due to breakdowns is the factor really counts, the longevity of warranty becomes secondary.
What is the point of a longer warranty if they do not honour it? Also, VW is more reliable than Hyundai.
I have to admit.. Hyundai came a long way. Definitely different times now. Sonata vs Passat I'd take Sonata anytime. Just buy the base trim Sonata SE. It's the best bang for the buck.
Guys, you just did a HUGE disservice to the viewers by misleading them to the wrong car. Slightly more fun to drive the Passat may be, but people looking to buy these cars don't care. The Sonata is so obviously a much better buy. Compare the features offered on both cars.
Hyundai has found a way to make a 250-hp car drive like a 200-hp car. It is funny that 177 up Sonata Eco was faster off the line on many published acceleration runs.
Junsik Min we picked up an eco and it's been amazing. 70k miles with zero issues and nearly zero maintenance expense, still on the original brakes and tires! 38 mpg average at 75+ and it's very quick. Other than some low speed clutch chatter from the DTC, it's been flawless.
I have the new Hyundai Sonata limited and that’s not the biggest screen and there’s more options in the higher model one. So don’t hate on Hyundai they are I great car brand
The grill on the Hyundai looks really nice
VW Passat anytime any day!!!
You can keep the Snota, love my Passat SEL Premium.
Buy the Passat it looks like a luxury car and it's hella nice
The new Sonata looks gorgeous.
That floor is so creaky that not even featherweight Tommy can walk over it without sounding like a horror film.
1970HondaCL100 😂😂😂😂
Featherweight ??!!
They should've never refreshed that Sonata. They made it now look like an Elantra from the back. The previous refresh looks better.
I love my 2014 Sonata Turbo. It is very similar to the top of the line Mercedes. Lots of the same features. Why should I trade it in for the 2018 Sonata?Drives well, powerful turbo...great service at the dealers...Can’t find any negatives.
The grille and color on the sonata is nice
VW Passat way more better built than Hyundai. Way stronger.
Moholi1, except for engine, paint and electrical problems the V.W is great!!!
Moholi1
Wrong!
A new Passat deteriorates faster than a new Sonata with much more troubles!
vw is definitely much better than Hyundai tho.
Moholi1 Can't agree with you.
Cell phone holding guy is pretty stable. Nice job to the unsung hero of this video.
The Passat is the better car overall..looking, power/fuel mileage..rear seat room..materials over all used..driving position/seat height. Being an owner of both a 17 Passat and Hyundai with an over all feel of both cars over time.... The VW is better over all. The new Hyundai will be the same with a slight refresh that looks hideous while trying to act sporty. My analysis is TFL is getting a little long in the tooth with their reviews... ;)
Jeff Jassby how is the speed?
lol ok
Hyundai is clearly the better choice.
they ditched the 1.8t in the 2018 passats. They come standard with the new 2.0t from the tiguan. 184hp and 221 lb-ft of torque
German VW doors go "WHOMP" when you close it, Hyundai goes "Clink." 'Nuff said.
The Passat has a fresh looking grille whereas the Sonata has grille that looks like they 'stole'it from Ford, and Ford stole that from Aston Martin.
I would choose the Passat too, as I do like the feel of these 'upper level' VW's.
Hyundai is more reliable and offer way better warranty than any other car company
I own a 2016 Passat R-Line. Looks classy, LED light package really stands out and its huge inside. I commute 125 miles a day for work and I am averaging 34 mpg. It's quick enough on the highway and the suspension is fun on the back roads. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and will be looking at the 2018 R- line for my wife. Just my 2 cents.
Hyundai still looks like it's trying to find it's self. Vw looks like an Audi and shared Audi parts. VW also looks grown up and elegant
The 2018 Passat has a new 2.0t that gets better fuel economy then the 1.8 that you said it has.
Are you testing a 2017, or just not getting the engine model right?
Till now I'm still confused which one to get.I read they're both good for someone over 6ft tall which is a great thing.
I need advice about resale value and depreciation please.
Thanks in advance.
All the best.
GO FOR THE HYUNDAI. This may come as a shock to you, but asian car brands are typically more reliable than german ones. This is because german cars are built with planned obsolescence, meaning they are designed to fail or break. This gets the company more money on repairs and cutting material cost. I know by experience. I had an 02 passat. The design team decided to put all the tech in the floor and the ceiling to leaked. Whenever it rained the computers were destroyed costing thousands of dollars to repair. On top of that, the engine block cracked before it even got to 100k miles. If I were you I would just by a toyota camry corolla s, but between the two, sonata for sure.
@@spongebobsquarepants5836 thanks so much for the valuable advice.
Toyota as you said is the best of course.
I am looking now for the Hyundai as a reliable affordable car.
Thanks a lot again for the advice.
Once I saw GDI on the hyndai I knew passat would be the only option I'd get between the two
Volkswagen is ranked incredibly low on reliability, not to mention the infotainment is low.
I have a 2016 Passat, and I love it. There’s not much I would change with my car other than I wish the gauge cluster came standard with a color screen, and standard LED headlights (the stock halogens are straight trash). That and Apple CarPlay should be standard. I would avoid the 2018 Passat S as they are stripping features like dual zone climate to save costs till the redesign 2019 comes out.
they got rid of the clock too in the 2018. I have the lighting package on my Passat, although they look good they do not perform any better than the halogens. Both lights received a poor rating by the IIHS.
You’re right, honestly it looks cheesy with a Passat logo there lol. Shame the LEDs are terrible, they look so nice too. I’m getting mine out of the shop (ran over a tire on the highway that I couldn’t see at night ironically) and I have some lights from deautokey I’m gonna put in.
Hard to recommend this car for 2018 compared to the stiff competition; and I say that as someone who loves his car
Passat is not a good car, anyone who's driven Passat/Jetta knows what I'm talking about. I've never driven a Hyundai so I don't know anything about it
i'm driving Passat and it's great. 420.000km, 15years old, just a few things to repair
Tommy i love your camera work you are extremely smooth an i have a trained eye for this. You are the man i want to be as good as you one day
The 2018 Passat replaced the 1.8 with the 2.0. Even better.
First off the 2018 Passat is. 2.0 turbo which is the base engine and competes with the 1.6t or 2.4 sonata. The 2.0t sonata competes with the 3.6 Passat. They only are similarly comparable in engine displacement and price
I have to disagree with you about the seats in the Passat. I owned a 2017 Rline with leather for 6 months. I sold it for a couple reasons, the uncomfortable seats was one them. I went back to an MK6 GTI, I did not need that large of a car.
The new accord has the best legroom now
the new corvette is faster..
Allan Desmond how can you compare the two? In fact... you aren’t even comparing them. GTFOH!
it was to make fun of Pablo..who instead of staying focused on the comparison of the two cars at hand, the whole point of the video ..just says any new age " I got a trophy for waking up today"..mindset ..
Pablo Herasme
Way more expensive!
Pablo Herasme lies , no way
Either I never see any Passats where I live, or I always mistook them for Jettas. I've already seen 2 or 3 '18 Sonatas on the road. Also, I have one too, a '17. And dat warranty tho.
Moar Desu ...
I have a '17 Sonata SE and it's been a great car. I see lots of 15 to 17 models on the road. Only seen a few 18 models. I think the 18 looks cool but I got such a great deal on the 17 model so I went that route. The 18s don't have a lot of incentives
Doug N Yeah, mine is the Hybrid Limited w/Ultimate package and the only differences I see features-wise is the '18's infotainment has faster processing so its smoother and more responsive and has Qi charging. Personally, I like the '17 hybrid's styling better and think it will age well so I don't feel like I should've waited for the '18.
I also have a '17 sonata. When i bought it i paid 19k with 6 miles on it. I have a sport with ultimate package. No turbo but all the bells. But 19k for a spacious car with lots of upgrades that gets 30 mpg is great.
Every car looks like the Hyundai. I'll take the Volkswagen because it looks better and all angles and also you throw some nice wheels on it it looks much better and the engine is a better tuner motor easy to make more power. The Dated look always look better and that's just facts
My money already went for 2017 VW Passat Se. We brought this car for its huge space inside or else we would have gone somewhere else. I want the vw to maintain the space as it is. Another part I like was build quality both outside and inside.
Outside they have one piece steel for door and not welded by joining different pieces and strong hinges, no rubber strip on roof instead it's a laser welded, between the front and rear doors when closed, it's sealed and no gap, inside good distance between B pillar and driver or co driver, steel used in the body feels solid and doesn't bend easily when pressed using palm or thumb.
Interior I like the super soft rubber used on the dashboard, I am surprised why no automotive channel mentions soft rubber on the upper door panel both front and rear. Most vehicles in this segment give that on front door but in the rear door it's a hard plastic, all four windows are one touch roll up/down, other cars in this segment have driver side . Keyless entry, sunroof, leather seats with heated and ventilated, flat bottom steering, super responsive touch screen with proximity sensor, Android, Apple and Mirrorlink support, push button start, rear individual ac vents , dual climate control, huge space inside and in trunk, backup camera, autonomous braking, rear cross traffic alert, automatic steering lock, cruise control. Free app called VW car net is available, anywhere in the world you could lock/ unlock car, turn on/off light , horn, indicator, find location , distance to empty and fuel available, vehicle diagnostic and health report. All this features are standard in Se trim and only lightning package is optional.
Msrp for se was $ 26k* but my final out the door price for new one was $24k*. Discount of $4750 was given from Kennesaw vw dealer.
When I compared 2017 Passat with other cars, it was a true value for money. My family are surprised from a small 1.8T , it's accelerates with that 184 lb-ft @ 1500 rpm with confidence when compared to our Camry 2.5 engine.
In terms of expense vw made changes to their engine where one can use regular 87 gas with out any problem and after using for 2800 miles I am getting 34 mpg for highway and 26-29 mpg city with regular Kroger gas in Memphis traffic.
VW silently introduced 2018 Passat with new 2.0 T engine . Fuel efficiency gone up compared to 2017 Passat.
Price difference is also not that big compared to 2017. They added more features in SE trim. Warranty increased from 3 to 6 years which is transferable, which is a good sign of commitment with customers.
HOPE VW COULD UPGRADE EXISTING CUSTOMERS WARRANTY TOO WHICH WILL BRING MORE CONFIDENCE AND LOYALTY IN CUSTOMERS IN NORTH AMERICA.

I just bought a 17 passat and I'm wondering about the warranty too. I feel like I got screwed!
Robin. Sam
Don't you know that all car doors are stamped from one piece steel plate? There is no such thing as car doors welded from pieces of steel rags any more! Most car doors used in VW Group are stamped and welded with lining by Shanghai Auto Works. VW Group even exported the car doors from Shanghai Auto Works to other VW facilities. Shanghai Auto Works also manufacture Audi A6 for export.
Meanwhile, most automakers gave up the one push up/down power windows for the sake of safety of children in the backseat because they might fiddle with the switch and guillotine themselves.
I'm surprised they sell different cars in US than here in Germany, guys from VW.
I wouldn't touch the Hyundai over the VW Passat. The Hyundai doesn't have the build quality of the Passat! A co worker had a new Hyundai that developed a dead engine, off and on the engine wouldn't start. 3 or 4 times she had to have it towed to the Hyundai dealer, it was still on warranty. They could find out what was wrong because when they got it do service it would start. Finally, after the 4th time it was at service they found out the it was a little resister in the electronics was shorted out!
Lots of cars using turbos these days. Thats going to be making the dealers a lot of money in the future i bet. Cant stop progress but simpler is better. But as to these two cars, id take the Hyundai ive owned VW’s and they are money pits.
Chuck Iringtwice Definitely. I don't expect the turbos to be a long lasting part. Not to mention the severe damage they cause to the engine if not properly maintained.
German car reliability is a big myth. Even American cars are better than the big 3 German makers.
My 2004 Jetta has lasted me 255k miles and in the last year the only problem it's had is an oil leak and I drive it to shit
Bryce Yoder... You know, now that I think about it, almost every VW owner I know drives their VW hard.
Comparing the people who drive Buicks to VW drivers might explain why one brand is ranked "more reliable" than the other more than the cars themselves. IMHO
Last time I checked, "reliability" is based almost entirely on surveys... And surveys are easily biased.

In United States the naturally aspirated engines are better option for long distance. However, in Europe due to the heavy taxes on CO² emissions, most automakers are churning out small engines to meet emission criteria for lower tax while boosting the output by turbocharger. The European automakers wouldn't tell car owners the aftermath of turbocharged engines with hard driving. The consumers were misled by the fun of squeezing every ounce of power from such a small engine. On the other hand, Japanese automakers are more used to deliver small engines without turbocharger of moderate output for durability.
I have the passat R-line- it's a sportier looking passat (same engine) same seats, bigger wheels, a little lighter but no gps
I had a hyundai back in 93,really nice car, I had it for about 6 years, with out any problems. Now they change models so often that I feel like they're selling software instead of cars, also the interior color lights do not appeal to me.
Both cars are a better value used (2 years old); they depreciate like a rock, so you can buy a lightly used one for 30-40% off.
I like the Passat exterior more, sure it's a bit dated, but it has that understated elegant look that just looks right. But that all square up interior is terrible, almost as bad as the Lexus grills. But if you want to own one of these, VWs quality is a non starter.
Vw door slam is so solid love it
Hyundai because I have one and there really good cars
I like the current gen Passat compared to current Sonata, but I think 7th generation sonata without recent updates better looking car than both.
I had a guy who works for a VW dealership tell me only buy a Passat if you'll be trading it within 60,000 miles .
I like the vow Passat better
I had a 2015 2.0T. I hated the transmission and the high pressure fuel pump pinging noise. It was extremely buzzy inside the car. Hopefully they fixed that. I has to get rid of it because the buzz it was annoying.
3:08 What, no electronic parking brake in the Passat? Thought that's pretty much standard for all Volkswagens that are Golf-sized or bigger these days.
The Passat interior in Australia is very much different from the Stateside Passat.
Pretty sure the 2018 Passat ditched the 1.8 for the 2.0. 2016 and 2017 in that generation has the 1.8. VWs age so much more gracefully as well. The VW styling is classy and not overdone and doesn't have that trying-way-too-hard-to-look-fast-sporty look.
This passat nms is also manufactured in China. But Chinese version is much more upscale than the NA's one. In fact. euro passat > chinese passat > NA passat.
Hi! I am from Canada, so I suggest that you say Miles Per US Gallon/3.8 litres, or better still # litres per 100 kilometres, as used around the world. The Canadian/Imperial Gallon has 4.54 litres.
When are you getting the new Passat in North America? Seems an unfair comparison with the refresh Passat vs the new Sonata.
Love my VW's but it seems like that 1.8 at about 180 hp has been around the same specs forever. As a 2000 Jetta TDI owner, I remember some 1.8 gas engine Jettas would occasionally drop into our TDI get-togethers in 2004 (?). I think the 1.8T was 180 hp back then.
Next year is 188hp and 200Torq
Funny how you never mention the one piece steel construction doors that the Passat has (no spot welds). If you have ever been T-boned you know it is scary. I am glad to see the Passat has eliminated that damn piston in the trunk. If you over pack your trunk and squeeze the lid down there is a good chance you will snap the weld mount on the piston. I did and it took 4 days to get my car back because a body shop has to weld it and then paint the trunks interior again (to spec). If your under warranty the pain is a bit more tolerable and your dealer loaner helps also. (down with struts). Oh yeah don't tell them you overpacked the trunk just dummy up after all they designed that setup not you.
I would not buy petrol cars if i were you because the consume is huge ,however if you buy a passat u can get a 2.0 tdi diesel engine which produces 171hp and the consume is lower
Asian cars look very cartoonist to me. Made in the US means nothing to me. I think you might be missing the point when talking about sporting etc. I think company's like Hyundai are forcing VW to cut costs so VW is "cheaping out"
Well thought out, evidence based retort.
that is Fact based, euro cars feel good in the car dealer lot..but the Market place does not in Fact buy euro cars, their Socialist lazy build quality is far below average an their cost are Very high..
James Wisrik that's a pretty opinionated claim
James Wisrik it's in the middle of the list in consumer reports and in JD power it's in average nothing wrong with that
vw just doesn't try hard enough..to many lazy socialist hippies buying them..low quality ..
I like the VW better...I tend to like the traditional styling better than that coupe-like blob egg shaped Hyundai...the head lights look terrible on the Hyundai.
I really like the sonata
Hi i am considering between a 2016 hyundai sonata sport(48000 miles) and a 2015 passat sport (88000 miles), what do u suggest me? If same miles which one do u suggest?
I own vw passat there very fun cars to drive but also expensive to fix.
Volkswagen. The Hyundai is nice too. Both are good cars though.
“Close the door so it stops beeping” the beeping stops after ~30 seconds
Hyundai all day.
It has a lot more power on paper....
vw's power ratings always make it at the wheels (sometimes they make a tiny bit more on the dyno) meanwhile hyundai's ratings are bloated crank ratings. I'm willing to bet the hyundai makes closer to 200whp while the vw makes 160whp.
My 2013 gti that makes 200 hp from the factory was neck and neck on the freeway with my wifes 2013 Kia Optima (owned by hyundai, basically a rebadged sonata) that supposedly made 274hp...
These guys have old man taste. Hyundai is competing japanese cars, not VolksWagen...
The vw does have comfortable seats and it's very roomy but I also like the Hyundai
the European Passat is already old and were still waiting on it to come this way.
You should’ve done this video three weeks later. That engine was just replaced by the 2.0L turbo
Regarding the Passat
Passat any time.
I'll go Hyundai when that Volkswagen starts giving you problems which they do after 5 years prepare your wallet cuz repairs on those cars are crazy expensive on the other hand Hyundai are one of the cheapest cars to repair and your back on the road.
for sure!
Passat ❤️
I own a 2018 vw passat RLine n I love it!
I guess the sonata put different paint job in the 2018 I bought the 2017 and they have very thin coat my car is already chip and is only 20 days old.
