If your mileage is greater than 80,000 tell us if youve neededrepairs
I am very curious to know the reliability of Hyundais in general , so,
if you have more than 80,000 miles racked up, tell us if youve had any breakdowns / repairs ,what they were, and how many miles you have right now . I think this will be very useful info to all Hyundai owners in the NG. Thanks much. Dave 2002 Santa Fe |
Re: If your mileage is greater than 80,000 tell us if youveneededrepairs
Not sure if you meant just some of the newer models but here is my list:
1985 Stellar - bought new in July 1985, only oil changes/regular maintenance ever required on it over a 5 year period. Racked up almost 110,000km on it before I traded it in on a 1990 Sonata. 1990 Sonata - bought new in July 1990. Rad replaced under a recall during the first year. Only normal maintenance costs required (oil, exhaust, brakes). Sold it in 1999 when I bought a new truck. Racked up almost 147,000km on the Sonata. 1991 Scoupe - bought new for my wife in Aug. 1991. Replaced a power steering hose in 2002. Replaced gas tank in 2004. My wife got a 2006 Kia Sportage to replace the Scoupe for her driving needs (got the Sportage since my wife wanted to stay with a manual transmission and 4 wheel drive and the Tucson didn't offer that but the Sportage did even though they are basically the same vechicle) and the Scoupe was passed down to my two sons. My youngest son smacked in the front end of the Scoupe this past Feb. so it is now a door-stop with almost 174,000km on it. 1995 Scoupe - bought this used with 142,000km currently on it. From past records only clutch work was required a couple of years ago. Otherwise in great condition. Anyway, that is my experience with Hyundai products. Other than just a couple of things the only money I ever had to throw at them was for the usual oil, exhaust, brakes, etc. type of stuff which is to be expected. Cheers, Lawrence |

My 2006 Elantra with 6,800 has had no problems. I would say reliability is excellent. - Mooron |

Re: If your mileage is greater than 80,000 tell us if youve neededrepairs
1997 Elantra, 1.8 Beta engine, AT, presently has 227000 miles. Biggest
repair bill I've had was a rebuilt trannie around 160000 miles. Everything else has been just wear and tear items. timing belts, fan belts, brakes, tires, front wheel bearing. AC still works fine. The engine uses maybe a pint of oil between changes(3000 miles). I'm a courier and I use my Elantra for my job, it's been a pretty dependable vehicle. It still gets the EPA stated fuel mileage out on the highway(32 mpg) If I had any complaints I wish it would get a little better with the price of gasoline now days since I buy a lot of it! I really wish Hyundai would import their diesel powered Elantas they sell in Europe. If they did I'd probably be standing at the dealers door in the morning. Rick SGF, Mo. |

We had a 1990 Excel that managed to get 110,000 miles on it before the repairs would cost more than the vehicle was worth to us. I thought that was great for a car that cost a little over $5K when new. Then we had a 1997 Elantra with the 1.8 engine and AT also. The AT ate itself at 157,000 miles and wasn't worth it to repair/replace. We paid about $8000 for that one and it was actually in excellent condition until we gave it to my mother-in-law at about 120,000 miles. She just beat the crap outta the body. Now we have a 2002 Elantra AT with about 50K miles...not a single problem worth mentioning. We have a 2003 Elantra AT with 65K on it...same condition but the car did have an AT problem when purchased (within the first month) that was repaired under warranty and has never happened again. And now we have a 2006 Sonata GLS V6 AT. Almost 9000 miles and while I did have one issue with the AT, I am beginning to think that it was either my mistake, or I was dreaming at the time, since it hasen't happened again. Eric |

Re: If your mileage is greater than 80,000 tell us if youve neededrepairs
My 2001 elantra VE had 140,000 miles on it when I traded it in for a 2006
Santa fe. did all services, (oil, timing belt etc as per dealer) Changed the brakes once, and the front wheel bearing were started to go when i traded it in. all and all a great car for the money Chris "Dave in Lake Villa" <DaveInLakeVilla@webtv.net> wrote in message news:946-443445BA-53@storefull-3237.bay.webtv.net... >I am very curious to know the reliability of Hyundais in general , so, > if you have more than 80,000 miles racked up, tell us if youve had any > breakdowns / repairs ,what they were, and how many miles you have right > now .
