      TRue. I also have Hyundai. Started with this bran back 1999. On that time they even told me Hyundai Accent is crap, worst in the market. In fact it was my best car ever. Since that time I owned Hyundai Terracan, it was kind of military car but they finished production back 2009. I owned a later Hyundai Santa Fe and have now another Santa fe. Wouldn´t complain, however fails in 2009 model weren´t something I can blam Hyundai. The previous owner has been one of that kind people, simply taking diesel and that´s all. To own car also Hyundai need some maintenance.

The first one had a engine failure that was recalled at 15k miles and the second was to replace that one because they couldn't figure out how to fix it.

    I had a 2014 Hyundai Sonata with the 1.6 liter turbo engine., drive until it had 256,000 miles on. Most reliable car I’ve ever had by far. Only major repairs were a new alternator & a new starter, besides basic maintenance like oil changes, tires, brakes, wipe blades, etc. Also, I had to replace the bulbs on the taillights more than usual. I just purchased a 2022 Hyundai Sonata limited that’s fully loaded, drives great and hoping I have the same success with it. I highly recommend the Sonata, and was completely satisfied with my experience.

      I hope so. I had a 2009 Sonata which was a transmission nightmare and basically everything else fell apart too before 60,000 miles. It was also the first and last car I ever had that rusted- including the frame. I got rid of it in 2013 which obviously isn’t long.
      Despite that, I am considering getting a 2023 Tucson. Maybe…

      Got the 22 Elantra SE. I take a lot of Tennessee country roads, the kind where it seems like you get frequent glimpses of your own tail lights. The Elantra takes the twisty stuff without any complaints, and goes through curves where I'm taking more lateral G than I'm willing to maintain for fear of painting the inside of the car with coffee,with complete composure. The standard 2 liter surprised the hell out of me as well. I had expected it to be something like my daughter's 2 liter Subaru Crosstrek, where acceleration is, shall we say, sedate. The Elantra accelerates fast enough that I seldom have any concern about merging speeds, even in the mechanized loonie bin that is Nashville traffic. I've had 3 Hyundais, one of which was sold early because my son had to leave the country, one that I traded at 170k miles, and one which my daughter still has with 260K on it, none of which have suffered from any significant mechanical problems. The "them Korean cars suck!" stuff just doesn't hold water in my experience.

      Yeah but I'm positive he would have had to put down at least $10k due at signing. That comes out to $275 extra a month. So $500/month for three years (if you don't go over the allowed miles). At at the end of the lease you own nothing. You're basically renting a car for $500/month. But it's worse because when you normally rent a car there are no mile restrictions. Car leases are a scam. You think dealerships push them so hard because they're "nice" people? No, it's because they make a LOT more money off leases.

They also charged me about 8k extra for other repairs and at the end when I picked the car up looked like they left the trunk opened and water made a heavy mold inside the car. They also reported they changed rotors and brakes and my local mechanic said they haven’t changed anything. Bunch of thieves

It Very comfortable ride, quiet cabin, great features/tech, and has huge back seat for passengers. And, I think that the external styling is better than any of the other cookie-cutter styling that most other similar SUVs have. And, even if the transmission does have a problem, it has a 10year/100K mile warranty! When we purchased, we looked at Nissan, Toyota, Chevy, Ford and others. Didn't find one that matched what the Tucson provided. My first Hyundai, and couldn't be happier with our choice.

    The dealership is actually fantastic. It is a working man’s car, and the dealership is NOT trying to hose you on the service visits. I had an Acura before and the service cost me 4 times more; if you own the car long enough you pay for it once more on service calls. NOT with Kia. Everything is reasonable.
    Even with the failed engine (my car was one of them), Kia came through fully. It as 2019 when my engine blew with 80K Kms on it, and the dealer replaced the engine with a new one at zero cost to me. ZERO. This tells me that they are taking care of their customers well even when things go wrong.
    Outside of this major failure (which did not cost me anything to fix) the car is flawless. I have 160K Kms on it, and it still runs and looks like new.

      Yeah. He liked this car. 😂 He may still think the overall Hyundai quality is bad but he liked this car. 😆

      @@8543960 I had a Kia Carnival (aka Sedona) from Year 2001. That car body & interior disintegrated into disrepair after 80,000kms and the engine blew a head gasket at 95,000kms. Serviced religiously at a dealer. I will never get a kimchi again

    My wife is on Hyundai #5 now, all prior with Superb Performance and Reliability! Here newest is a 2023 Kona N Series, turbocharged. Like all the other Hyundai's, this is a Good Running, Strong Performing and Good Looking Vehicle. We never had any complications with any of the other Hyundai's, mostly were Sonatas. I changed oil and filter every 5,000 miles, replaced batteries, front brakes, air filter, and a set of plugs in one, tires and that's it.100,000 miles on a Hyundai that is properly maintained and keeps up on dealership service intervals is like a walk in the park. How many vehicles made out there have a 100,000 mile warranty? As a retired ASE Master Tech, and 33 year owner of an Automotive Machine Shop; I will state the fact; Warranty Periods speak for the Quality and Longevity of Any Vehicle. Anything any person does not keep up on maintenance will not last! You Reap What You Sow!

    I unfortunately have a Kia Optima and I never thought I would find an import that is WORSE than the domestic buggery we deal with…never again Kia!

    On my third Hyundai and have not spent one dime in repairs other than normal wear and tear items. (Brakes tires oil windshields) I can't say that about the Toyotas and Hondas I have owned in the past. My current one is AWD and last set of tires ran for 45k miles. I did keep up with the tire rotations. I'm okay with that. My wife is the primary driver and it is incredible in snow and ice. My only complaint is more road noise than it should have. I agree, stay away from the turbo cars.

      I'm currently a happy owner of a Kia. My first one, and my experience has been great. I also can't say that about my 3 previous Toyotas, which were always in the shop getting something fixed or getting something checked out. It got to the point where I almost had to file for bankruptcy once. Two of the three Toyotas left me stranded on the side of the road. I learned my lesson, I won't be buying anymore Toyotas from here on out

    I bought my 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2.0 turbo ultimate brand new off the showroom and I love it. Everything just works cars as fast as hell and I’ve never had an issue with it.

    We have Four of the 2022 Hyundai Tuscons for our company vehicles. On mine, I had a Hub Bearing and a Fuel Injector go out in the first 6 months. My Tuscon was in the shop for 4 weeks between those 2 breakdowns. My co-worker just had his Tuscon break down a few weeks ago. I haven’t had a chance to ask him what happened to his, but it sounded like a fuel injector. We always had Honda CR-Vs for our company vehicles before we had the Hyundais. Never had any problems with the Hondas. If I were spending my own money on a car manufacturer, I wouldn’t buy a Hyundai. They’re junk!
