Some may laugh but Hyundai has come a LONG way from their beginnings and make a great car for the $
Far better car and any American piece of crap !

Lucky you dude.The rest of us don't have that luxury of having a frame machine or being a professional mechanic.

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)

And as I've said Hyundai has come nowhere.Their quality surpasses nothing as they're the most expensive car on the planet to work on (other than a German made luxury)and the most recent '11 models are no exception.

As far as your digs on American cars goes...are you living on another planet?The only thing better than an American car right now is a Toyota even after the so called "recalls".The most recalled cars on this planet are Ford and HYUNDAI!

Technological advanced assembly plants mean nothing if you're producing disposable cars which is in fact exactly what Hyundai makes.

It would appear you work for a Hyundai dealership?If so please don't blow smoke up my ass.I was born...just not yesterday.

Btw I have an 03 Corolla and an 04 Tacoma in the driveway sitting along with that pos Elantra.The only things I've EVER done to my Yotas' are change the oil and replace the brake pads ONCE.Every single human I've ever met that owns a Hyundai does nothing but repair it.

Like I said Ronnie ya barked up the wrong tree.Making sh!t smell like roses doesn't change the fact that the sh!t is still sh!t.

Again. I said " they have come a LONG way"
If you really want to know I work at an independent auto body shop (no dealer)
We work on every car/truck on the road.
You paint. I assume residential & or commercial interior & exterior
I fix them, all of the, have since the 1970s
I remember in the early 70 when we used to laugh at Datsun & Toyota.
America is not laughing now !
Also show me a Toyota that is affordable like Hyundai or Kia !
