they have the highest number of warranty claims of any manufacturer (more than GM and Ford combined last I checked) my wifes niece has one and has had 3 transmissions put in, teh dealer has a line of cars waiting on transmissions. Koreans build cheap stuff not quality stuff, you want a decent quality go to honda or gm (they took the top 5 spots in teh relaibility surveys the last 5 years) avoid toyota right now (they are having major issues that's why they are delaying release of most of the new cars)

It seems like caleb knows what he doing mechanically for the most part, you can find a used car, that hasn't been ****** with fairly easy. its when people start doing **** to them is when you have problems.

I agree with arch, do not buy hyundai/kia the shop owners son has a kia and they have gone through 8 motors. warranty or not, you are going to have to fix **** on your car.

I'm looking for a reliable everyday driver that will last me a long time and wont cost me hundreds a month in repairs. and yes, im throwing in my american cards...for now

Or a 91 - 93 with an sr or rb swap for around 5k.

this is in my area, im not sure about cali though.

ive heard the same. sure, people with 3 or 4 year old hyundais have had trans problems n such, but i read a lot of reviews and many have stated hyundai's newest lineup and since their new US plant, theyve gotten 100x better in quality. but if not a tib what would be your first choice under 20k?

as always arch you chime in with your statistics

as of right now im 90% sure that im going to fix my front bumper and sell my TA for private party blue book (9000) pay it off (8000) and then buy a new tiburon. lower it, tint the windows, maybe a body kit, ya know make it a nice show car but leave the engine alone and enjoy 100,000 miles of no spending money on repairs. in a year or so i'll wanna go fast so i'll get an R6 or even an R1. then later in my life once i get my finances settled, get married, get a house, then i can get an american V8 and dump tons of money into it.

but for now, im done with f bodies.

Koreans eat rice ...

Youre selling the bird to get one of the above? I vote something better than a tiburon then... Go G35, or somthing a little cooler. Tiburons are alright, but take it a step up... Youre going to get one and then youre going to realize that its shittier than a cooler car that you could have gotten.
