Junior is out car shopping, ran across the Elantra, Not often I see him this excited but he asked for my thoughts on this car,

I have zero experience with Hyundai’s but figured time to que the local brain trust,

What say those of you with actual ownership of said cars?

My experience with a Hyundai, namely a 2009 Sonata with the 4 cylinder, has been flawless. I would buy this car again in a heartbeat.

I have heard rumors that certain models were the most stolen models?

Why so?

My daughter has a 2013 Elantra. Has 110K. Same experience - flawless. Good value.

Because they’re easier to steal.

Very high quality cars. My wife had a Tucson and loved it.

Chucklehead^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Rocky, always the voice of reason, including his NFL team of choice.

I have a 2019 sonata for a “work car”.

Drive about 100 miles a day to / fro work.

I can hit 37mpg going 60 on a 2 lane state Hwy.

Just hit 100k miles. Zero problems.

Elantra is decent

They have CVT and also have a history of oil burning engines right from the factory. I know some people have wonderful experiences with them but I shied away and went Honda for the same price

It’s the truth but of course you’ll be too God Damned stupid to listen.

Buy a Honda or Toyota.

I always buy American but I'm a masochist.

Ok, How is a particular car easier to steal?
Serious question.

Did you ever own one?

I’m here to inform.

Not explain.

Q
They and Kias have a faulty igniton lock that it easily defeated with a screwdriver. It was on the local news

My experience with a Hyundai, namely a 2009 Sonata with the 4 cylinder, has been flawless. I would buy this car again in a heartbeat.

Likewise

Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai are more American made than anything from the big 3. Hyundai first manufacture to offer the 100k mile warranty. When I was South Korea Hyundai owns the car company genesis they make high end luxury cars. Talk about high dollar rides.

The new Hyundai’s don’t have ignition keys, all electronic now.

So typical,
This thread will quickly turn into a contest between ‘flave and Alwaysindoors for the higher post count,

Just another day on the ‘fire.

You’re a much better chucklehead than informer.

You do realize you can explain while informing right?

Elantras are made in Alabama.

If you were not such a kghunt I would explain it.

You should be thankful somebody with my knowledge helps you with anything.

As usual, one of your questions gets answered and you act like a kghunt.

Don’t you live in south eastern Wisconsin? There’s literally a gang in Milwaukee called the Kia boys becusse they steal those cars so often.

I think I’d pass unless I did enough research to know that model has better aecurity

Ok bruh. Did ya find a loose screw or something?

I got curious and watched a couple YouTube vids and deflave is right, Hyundai's and Kia's are the easiest to steal.

Key less ignition.If you have a code reader for ignitions you can open the doors and start the car up in about 2 minutes and drive away.

Huntz, is that for all keyless ignitions?

What’s different between a Chevy or a Hyundai?

Yes, but how and why?
2015 model or 2023?
Keyed or keyless?

Spent the last several minutes trying to recall when you actually helped me with something,

No luck so far, but don’t despair, the night is still young……….

LOL.

The vids I saw said Hyundai is changing their ignition system for 2023. Previous model years all you had to do is smash the control panel and bypass it manually, no code reader necessary. 2023 'should' be better I reckon.

Just don’t leave your keys or remote in the car

No. I had a kia with the same engine and had huge problems, at 400 miles that resulted in a replacement engine and that one burned oil.

Gonna be real expensive if I have to own one of everything to have an opinion.

That’s why nobody cares to help you.

You’re an ungrateful fugking idiot.

LOL

The Infiniti Q50s are nice and pretty quick.

We've had several ..... and they've been excellent...

You kinda nailed that Flave...

I have owned several Hyundais... and know them fairly well, but simply will not engage in another "Kenneth" thread.

Great cars. Hyundai has an BIG assembly plant in Montgomery, God’s Country, Alabama. And just across the state line in Georgia is a BIG Kia facility. Friends had a 2004 or 2005 Hyundai Azera they put over 200k on with no problems. Knowing that I bought a, I think, 2008 van. Shortly afterward the throttle position sensor died. I was about an hour from the nearest dealer. They paid for towing, gave me a loaner and fixed it quickly. After that no problems. Sold it with 48k on it. Wife then bought a 2015 Elantra GT. Got like 38 mpg highway. Kept it until it had just short of 70k. Last summer she went with a Santa Fe Limited with Hdrive (AWD) and everything else. It gets around 32 mpg highway and is hands down the quiets automobile I have ever been in. I highly recommend them.

Son is still driving the used Hyundai Elantra he bought used shortly after he got married 13 - 14 years ago. Only time it's been down so far was the serpentine belt broke on the way to work one morning last month. He still drives it as his work car and probably easily has at least 150k miles on it now. I've driven it twice and liked it pretty well, myself.

Oh, ...and Hyundai owns the Kia brand now, too...

most hondas and toyotas are built here. see if you can get your kid to wait. this a terrible market to buy a car.

Yes, laws of supply and demand are in full effect right now, but, he needs a car very soon.

And then, when will the supply chain actually catch up, this year, next year?

Hyundai is one of the highest quality and most reliable brands out there nowadays.

The past 5 years Hyundai has a really bad rep especially on the drive train. They used to be good like kia

Korean based manufactures have gone to schit even though built in the US

Go Mazda, Honda, Toyota

Go find a reliable mechanic and get the real story

Used to

What's the date since 2016? Everything changes.

I’m going on personal experience not tracking down reliable mechanics for “the real story”. I have no need. My real story is what I experienced. The car we have now has a 5yr 60k wall2wall warranty. 10yr 100k drive train warranty. Pretty good backup. We and our friends just have not had bad experiences with Hyundai.

Yes but ask why they need the flashy warranty. My kia had a Hyundai made engine in it per the dealer. Cracked block at 400 miles and it sat for two months waiting on an engine because there were so many being recalled that there were no available replacements.

Then they finally got me a new engine and that one used a lot of oil between changes. They said yeah that happens often. learned my lesson and turned it in as soon as I could.

It's a 20 year old car. Make sure the timing belt/water pump has been changed and check for accidents.

BOOM!

One of our Elantras began to have transmission slippage one day; 83K on the odometer... Hyundai had it towed to the dealer, replaced the trans and it was ready to go in about four days.. My cost? ZERO...

My mistake, not a ‘23 but a ‘22,

20 years old?

Sorry, no cofeve yet and I thought I saw 2003 somewhere. IMO, you can't go wrong with Hyundai. Wife has a 2014 Santa Fe and it's been great.

I think the 2 korean makes are better cars than you get from GM or ford, however I can't see anyway possible you're getting a better car than a honda or toyota. I think when the price isn't really much different you're going to be money ahead in particular with choosing a honda or a toyota on resale along. my impression of driving kia's and hyundais is the interior of the car gives you a lot for the money. however the powertrains always seemed like a generation behind honda or toyota. They had a dated feeling with the transmission and engine.

I wouldn't buy one, if I wanted a car it would be honda or toyota, also I WILL NOT buy samsung or LG appliances, again korean made. nothing but early problems from the korean made appliances.
