Re: Would you buy again ?
Yes I would buy again,
On my third Hyundai. First was in 1997 Elantra Now I have a 2006 Santa Fe. Looking to get the new 2008 Accent 3 door sport form my daily driver to work and back, keep the Santa fe for weekends, (its a little hard on gas for a daily driver. ) "desgnr" <desgnr@verizon.net> wrote in message news:coAzi.4814$Wr3.1689@trndny03... > Do you guys recommend buying a Hyundai ? > |

> Do you guys recommend buying a Hyundai ? This is not an easy question since things change over time. I have a 97 Hyundai Elantra 5SP. Just a plain one. no gls Bought at 63K in 1999 Now have like 172K miles If you asked the guy I talked to with a 98 Elantra Auto he could not sell if fast enough. The transmission was given him problems. Who know how he drove and how it was maintained. Me I have a love/hate relationship with mine. Love it been the cheapest and reliable car over the 110K I have owned it. I have always used syn motor oil. Hate that it does not handle like my 90 Horizon. Another example is Saturn. I like the ones from 92-95 BUT things change and they don't have things on them like transmission filters that look like oil filters that are EASY to change. Maybe the newest ones are good now? The ongoing problem I have had with mine are the tires. Every few years I have having slow leaks fixed in them. I think it has to do with the fact it had fix-a-flat in all four tires when I bought it leading to the rims rusting??? Major things fixed are cat converter, clutch 150K miles, muffler, oil pan leak (replaced it), rust (I live in NY state), all four springs and struts, Well you get the idea. If you can get a inexpensive one go for it |
Re: Would you buy again ?
Yes, I would recommend a Hyundai. I have a 2006 Elantra and have been
pleased with the vehicle, from the sales experience to the service experiences. Some posters have complained about the tires, etc., this is not the fault of the car, but the tires. After all, the tires are warranted by the tire manufacturer, not Hyundai. I've owned the following makes of cars since 1985: Dodge, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, SAAB, Toyota, Volvo, and now Hyundai. The Elantra has been as good, or better, than any of the aforementioned cars. The fit and finish, and overall build quality, is also excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend a Hyundai to my best friend. One interesting piece of trivia: one of my business colleagues husband is a Toyota Service Manager. Guess what minivan they drive, and was recommend to her by her husband?? - a Hyundai! |
Re: Would you buy again ?
I've had a fair cluster of problems, but I still think I would
consider a Hyundai, if it met my shopping criteria. Anyone who is at all handy can grab tons of information from hmaservice.com and tackle a lot of the repairs themselves. I test drove the Sonata and it just didn't seem to work with my body geometries -- but that's a very personal gripe; it's probably fine for most people. I still want to look at the Santa Fe and Tucson. I would not purchase a car from Kearney Mesa Hyundai, if you happen to be in San Diego (I wonder about whether there's something shady in the whole "Sunroad" chain of dealers in Kearney Mesa -- I've had a bad test drive experience at their Toyota, and unsatisfactory repair experiences at their Hyundai and Ford dealerships. My friend had a fine time at the Honda dealership though). |

My 06 Sonata has been the most trouble-free car I've ever owned, but it also has some of the most annoying design quirks, particularly a lousy clutch and over sensitive electronic throttle. If they would hire BMW to design their clutch and throttle, it would be an amazing car. Matt |

> Do you guys recommend buying a Hyundai ? The only problem I had with my '05 Elantra was that it was too small. It was fine for around town but on lengthy drives too cramped. Since my purchase my brother has gotten an '06 Elantra as has my sisters best friend, and my father has bought an Entourage as well as my Elantra, all on my recomendation. |
Re: Would you buy again ?
My wife has an 01 Elantra that we bought new with no problems at all. My daughter has an 04 Elantra that has been trouble free and I have an 03 Sonata LX that we also bought new that had a bad rear defrost which required replacing the rear window to fix. Hyundai did the repair quickly and without incident. So, yes, I'd buy again. In fact, in the spring I plan to give the Sonata to my wife, sell her Elantra and get myself an Azera Limited. All that being said, the one thing I've done to all of our cars is get rid of the godawful original equipment Michelin MXV4 tires and put Kumho Solus KH16s on the Elantras and a set of Yokohama Avid H4S on the Sonata. Well worth it. |
Re: Would you buy again ?
Absolutely!
Since Hyundai and Kia are basically the same company now, I will lump my Kias in this as well. Between the two brands, I just purchased my fifth one. Earlier years (20th century models) were indeed "cheap" cars. But this one, the '06 Spectra, essentially the Hyundai Elantra, is one of the best put-together cars I have ever seen from ANY brand. Hyundai/Kia has definitely put a premium on quality recently, and it shows in their vehicles. And since their vehicles can still be had for thousands less than other brands, I do not believe there is a better value in the industry, be it for cars, SUV's, or minvans.

Re: Would you buy again ?
Sure would.
Have a 2005 XG350L. Only thing I'd swap itfor would be a new Azera. Two of my daughters have instructed me if I get rid of it they want it "Rev.

Trouble free, no warranty issues at all. I have the limited V-6 and performance is great. Best value around. |
