      My mom just traded her 2020 Santa Fe sport because it burned 2 Quarts every 1.5k miles. Only had 50k miles. It was ridiculous. She got a 2019 rav 4 with 17k miles. I’m happy she listened to me and got a Toyota.

      When the engine failed at 87,000km in my Hyundai Santa Fe, the staff told me they had 30 engines in the shop the previous year with same problem. Defective premature engine failure. I've also read many reports of people having a new engine put in only to have the same thing happen quickly.

    One thing i dont understand is why the toyotas and hondas keep offering you less car for money. I mean I understand they offer reliability but that doesnt mean you keep offering 5 yr old garbage to yout cx. I mean look at toyota vehicle lineup. Most of them are just face uplift. Most of them need a long due overhaul. And kudos to Hyundai/Kia for taking the risks with their designs. They no doubt been dishing out some of the most amazing designs across their lineups.

      I am a 2022 Kia owner. Kia / Hyundai good as long as the warranty covers, so they have no risk of changing design or what so ever as majority of car users don't trust them or not long term users. So you can keep doing experiments and adding useless fancy stuff. You can drive a Toyota /Honda without a major technical issue over 200K miles thanks to their old school technology. Also, it's cheaper to maintain, parts are available every corner in the world. Also the resale value is a lot higher than other brands and insurance companies do not hesitate to cover almost any Toyota or Honda. Kia /Hyundai look cheap only when you are comparing with other major players but repairs, maintenance, insurance and other costs a way higher than a Toyota. I'm telling you by experience.

      @@Lankan91-ee9bm yes sir I completely agree with you. If you dont update/upgrade the models for last 10/20 yrs you dont need to build new parts so everything costs less coz your have been building same stuff for the last 10 yrs and probably would have overstock of those parts. And by the way which insurance company denies insurance on any company make models please enlighten me. On the contrary where i live the insurance on toyotas/hondas are way higher than anything else. So you are buying an already expensive vehicle + you are paying higher insurance. I would rather payout a cheaper more advance car in 5-7 years get a new one after that. I honestly dont like driving 20 yr old model just for the sake of reliability. If you like that than good for you 👍🏻. I am more of a new tech and new ride kind of a guy.

So if you haven’t driven or atleast not seen those cars or no idea about what those two vehicles are or no idea about how and why people buy them, no point of have a conversation with you.
      As I said I am a 2022 model year Kia owner and here we change cars every 2-3 years and most of the time 40K miles on them. I dont have that problems like you have 5-7 yrs old cars😃 Kia / Hyundai offer 10 yrs or 100K miles warranty here while Toyota 2 years or 25K miles only because no need of add a lot of add-ons to sell their cars like others. You only know these stuffs if you have a capacity to afford above two vehicles. Insurance companies I am referring to the country I live due to Kia/Hyundai security issues. To FYI. I can buy either of two above at any time and we send 20 yrs old cars to scrapyards 😁

    한국에선 현대, 기아자동차에 대해서 부정적인 시각으로 보는 경우가 진짜 많고 비판을 하는 경우가 칭찬보다 월등히 많습니다. 아마도 냉정하고 가혹한 비판이 많기에 현대, 기아자동차가 품질에 대해 더 많은 노력을 많이 하는 것 같습니다. 그이유가 전통의 타기업보다 더 빠르게 성장한 것이 아닌가 생각됩니다.

    ENOUGH with the reliability. H has a MUCH better warranty in Canada and the USA. H has stepped up hugely in features, comfort, materials and look. T is sitting on their LAURELS for over 10 years. The DCT had one big failure with Car Confections and suddenly ALL DCTS are bad. Cmon guys. Last Gen was DCT was fine...This one will be as well...AND...way more fun to drive. Quick shifts and brings back fun in driving. That 2.5 is a proven engine used all over the place as well as a Base Genesis G80 at 25 K more cash. Porsche and Corvette have DCTs. They are PROVEN. Its a wet clutch 8 speed that is constantly lubricated and will be fine.
    Besides MOST new car buyers will trade it after 5 years and buy another and let the used car market figure it out. I dont drive a new vehicle for 10 years. Too much new tech every year. 3 YR Vehicle dependability studies (JD Power) on H and T say they are virtually TIED now in reliability. Facts are stubborn things. They dont lie. Toyota recalled 1.000 000 Rav 4 Transmissions last year...every brand has issues...
    I have owned a G70 (All H parts) for 5 full years. NOT one issue....This Santa Fe is a game changer in comfort and features when you compare apples to apples.
    The world is changing...just many folks dont want to admit it.

    Just picked up my new Santa Fe Hybrid, and while the ride is smooth, there are some features missing that left me disappointed. The reviews showcasing all those bells and whistles? Most likely focused on the top-of-the-line Calligraphy edition. I went with a more budget-friendly hybrid trim (SE or SEL), and it's lacking in some creature comforts I expected. Here's a glimpse of what I found lacking:
    Limited Storage: Finding decent-sized compartments for everyday items proved tricky.
    Manual Passenger Seat: The passenger seat lacks power adjustments, which can be a drawback for some.
    No Panoramic Views: Forget the sunroof or a fancy glass roof - this trim level doesn't offer them.
    Glove Compartment Shortcomings: The glove compartment itself is tiny, and the additional compartment above it barely fits your hand.
    Limited Cargo Visibility: The lights in the back don't provide enough illumination to see things clearly when looking through the rear hatch.
    Missing Essentials: To my surprise, even basic floor mats weren't included in this trim level.
    Sunglass Struggle: There wasn't even a dedicated drop-down compartment for sunglasses, something even my older 2012 Pilot had!
    And More: These are just a few of the inconveniences I noticed. There are many more features that make this base trim feel a bit lacking compared to the higher-end options, or even some older cars.
    Lesson Learned: Definitely do your research on the specific Santa Fe trim level's features before buying, including even seemingly standard items like floor mats and sunglass holders. Hopefully, this heads-up helps others avoid a similar surprise!

    I've owned both. A 2013 SF and 2017 Highlander. Toyota is hard to beat for long term reliability and resale value, especially in hybrid trim. In Ontario, get a quote from your insurance agent.

    I have a '23 Tahoe, and my wife has a '24 Palisade. The Palisade has Nappa leather, auto brake hold, rear sun screens, acoustic glass on first and second row windows and massaging driver's seat. My Tahoe has nothing like that. And now my Tahoe is having transmission issues, while the Palisade runs like clockwork. We don't do high miles so we're not concerned about the engine exploding before 100K. Plus she'll only keep her car for 3 years. GM needs to start putting more things in their cars for the money they charge. I know this is not a GM comparison, but my point is, Hyundai gives a lot of bang for the buck.

    My immediate thought is longevity, the hood part is a good example - it's such a small sample but to me, it probably plays out throughout the entire lifetime of both vehicles, that Toyota will probably last many years longer than that Hyundai (and with much less repairs and maintenance). Using the hood part as an example, I'll bet those hood struts start pooping out after 3 or 4 years and the hood latch probably has a recall in 2 yrs hehe.
