Q:I was thinking about purchasing one…does anyone drive one? If so what do you think about it?
A:Exceptional product!!!!!
Hyundai is rated #3 in the world for initial quality and consumer satisfaction. You don’t put a 100,000 mile warranty on a product that isn’t going to last.
Hyundai costs less because:
1. they own their own steel mills — huge amount of cost
2. they own their own shipping company
3. they build the robots that build everyone elses’ cars
Q:I rented one and it felt like the steering was tight but it was amazingly uncomplicated under the hood. Everything was easily serviceable including lights and emmision controls. Roomy but not fancy with a deep trunk. 26 MPG the way I drove it.
A:You get a lot of car for the money compared to other similar sized sedans. I’d be cautious of the reliability though. Although Hyundai has improved a great deal, they are still far from trouble free. Then again, the new Accords and Camrys aren’t either. I say go for it if you like the looks and driving character of the car. The 4cyl is a good motor. They’ve been using it for years. The V6 is a new design and I’d be nervous to take the chance on it. I hear it’s difficult to do a tune up on the V6, therefore more expensive. Go for the fuel efficient 4cyl. engine.
hyundais are cheap unreliable cars. thats why they have a 10 year 100,000 warranty to move these hyundais from the dealer’s lot
