Hyundai has come a long way my ass.
The 2002 Elantra that I unfortunately own has the very worst front end crash rating of any car in its class for that model year.$3700 worth a parts for an accident that happened at 1.5mph.Couldn't believe the insurance company didn't total it.
Healight burns out.Headlight bulb replacement requires the complete removal of the entire assembly.There is no access to the bulb from within the engine compartment.An after-market replacement lamp is $29.
Battery sh!ts the bed.New battery goes for $90.Thank god for Walmart it cost me only $65.
With all the problems that I've had with this car I've spent almost as much in repairs(other than the 1.5mph accident!) than I paid for the car new.Head gasket,intake manifold gasket,wheel bearings and a ton of other crap that I could publish a novel with.
Simply put Huyndai cars sell cheap...they get you on parts and repairs.In fact they're the most expensive of the so called "budget" cars to repair bar none.The latest model years for Hyundai are one of the most expensive cars to repair and maintain.
Man did you bark up the wrong tree trying to tout Hyudai as being someting quality.I can't even a pay someone to steal mine and burn it and I grew up with people that did that sh!t for a sixpack.
If you can't tell so far...I think Hyundai sucks a$$.

As I said, they have come a LONG way. Their quality now far surpasses any piece of crap american car.
Your driving a 2002, not exactly a newer current model. (close to 10 years is asking a lot out of any car battery)
Their assembly plants are some of the most technically advanced going (look it up, it's been well documented in the industry)
