I don't know how you get all that information but I sure do like watching your videos. You're so smart and I don't say that in a demeaning way.
Do Mercedes Benz next
Hey -- you forgot to mention that Hyudai just recalled more than 390,000 vehicles for problems that cause ENGINE FIRES! Owners are being asked to park outdoors until repairs are made! Your puff piece forgot to mention this! Also -- They must recall nearly 187,000 2019 and 2020 Elantras, and 2019 through 2021 Konas and Velosters. The piston rings may not have been properly heat-treated, which can cause engine damage, oil leaks and possible FIRES. Dealers will inspect and replace the engine if necessary. They'll also install piston noise sensing software. Engine failure -- engines made here in the good old USofA, and fire problems at Hyundai and affiliated Korean automaker Kia have plagued the companies for more than five years, affecting the owners of more than 8 million vehicles.
10:01 Optimas have been around before 2011. My gf back then had an 09 Optima with the 4 cylinder. Great car, had 160k trouble free miles on it before trading up. Only issue was the interior door handles were plastic and broke around 130k miles. Interesting enough I was at a junk yard pulling parts for my 4th gen Maxima at the time, and saw another 09 Optima with a broken interior door handle. Must have been common in them. Would be nice if Hyundai/Kia took a page out of Toyota's playbook and switched to dual fuel injection. Doing only GDI engines without port injection is a recipe for dirty valves.
It frustrates me why American Car manufacturers refuse to make their cars better than foreign competition. Like many American's there was a time when I (60 years old now) only drove Domestic cars but now I drive anything but domestic and you would think that these guys would care but honestly they don't!!!! They are a bunch of fat arrogant cats. The motor city used to be such a great place to hang out with incredible history. The post WW2 crowd cared about quality control and building good products. The generations to follow however rather than keeping their eye on the ball laughed at the Japanese and thought their small cars would never be able to make a dent into the car world. Look at us now!!!!!!! The financial bail out post 2008 did some good but nothing like it should have. The USA has the ability to build the best cars in the world but arrogance and stupidity seem to be the "DRIVING FORCES" moving them backward instead of forward. I still have hope that one day true lovers of the automobile will once again step into the roles of CEO of each of the USA automobile companies and we will see their genius hard at work. Until that day, Japan and Germany will be the ones seeing my hard earned money. Scotty, you have a wonderful channel here and you do great work. Thank you very much for sharing.
Kia is like that nerd who became a model after highschool..
Perfect example 👌🏾
Well said
lol , more like the kid who wore his friends dads cloths to go to a party in superbad movie 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣💯
Nerds are more attractive than models imo 🤷🏼♂️
I have never heard scotty praise hyundai and kia the way he did in this video. what a time
Yeah, I’m over here scratching my head.
It's a paid advert
Definitely paid to do this.
Probably no go check them out in person honestly I'm impressed
because he was paid to do so.
I have a 2013 Sonata SE with 148,000 miles. I've never had any issues. The only times I've had it back at the dealership was for a few safety recalls. All maintenance has been fluid changes and filters with local independent mechanics. It still has the original hoses and belts!
Not all of 2.4 Theta II engines had issues. But many of them did. Hyundai has replaced them under warranty though.
Brake pads change?
We've been driving a 2012 Hyundai i40 station wagon since it was new, and just hit 400,000 KM on it. The car is luxurious and comfortable, and still runs and drives like new and has been absolutely no trouble whatsoever since the day we purchased it. Hyundai and Kia have really become among the best car brands in the industry these days.
400,000km??? Dayam that's fantastic
@@communicationbreakdown256 yep. It’s only need normal basic maintenance, and a few hoses and lines since new. It’s really been great
You are one of the lucky ones!!
How did you care for the gdi engine???
@@kskate91 Regular services at the dealership. Nothing more
Korean dude here. I'm sort of shocked (in a good way) that Scotty put this video together. Really appreciate the kind words about our two car manufacturers. It's really a point of national pride for me, especially competing with the more established brands from Japan and Germany. Thank you, Scotty!
I used to avoid Kias like the plague, now I see a dozen of them every day on the road, I even went to a Kia dealership and checked some out
My father had a 1986 Hyundai excel. Closest thing to the yugo junk I've ever seen. Fast forward to 2021, my wife is driving a 2012 optima and I've still got my 08 sonata. Two of the best vehicles I've ever driven.
Including my lexus, bmw, mustang, camero, accord,
escort, sentra.
@@kendallchesley2821
@@kendallchesley2821 Can't have national pride anymore eh?
Japanese cares are still better. Korean companies just copy Japanese brands.
Kia has had the most amazing transformation I think I’ve ever witnessed…Hyundai has to be second. These companies keep out-doing themselves year after year with their new models
Kia has NOT and probably wont ever catch Hyundai in quality and integrity. yes, very close. but always catch up...
Pretty sure NickygMP is comparing where each company started and where they are at now, not listing who is top dog and who is second but who bridged a bigger gap.
I have the 2021 Hyundai Palisade Limited and a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD OR 4x4. The Hyundai interior quality and technology is light years ahead of my Toyota
same company....badge engineering.
You do realize Hyundai is the parent company of Kia? It’s the same freaking company.
As 2021 Hyundai Sonata owner, I can say it's hands down my favorite car I've driven. My brother bought a 2022 Toyota Camry for the same price and the Hyundai is miles ahead in tech/features. My dealership even though in a free bumper to bumper 150,000mi/10yr warranty. I will definitely be using that up.
Reminds me of an automotive article I read perhaps 10 years ago. It stated that Toyota was "afraid" of one company - the journalist then listed all the known brands - but said it was none of them, then said "Hyundai". I thought it interesting. at the time, but now that I'm shopping for a new car, Sonata truly came out on top.
My brother went with a Sonata over the Camry since he got more features for the money. His is black and looks badass. Like something Batman would drive.
What Features exactkly if you dont mind?
If you second hand Hyundai or Kia. The warranty drops to 60K miles. Interior is nice though . I guess I can enjoy comfy seat with a dead engine too...
1. There is no such thing as a bumper-to-bumper warranty.
2. "Miles ahead?" Interesting term, given that the Camry will still be running when the Sonata died 150k miles earlier.
I grew up around Hyundais and Kias. My mum and Aunt had Hyundais and my uncle a Kia. They were all bought new in 2011 and are still going strong. These companies have a soft place in my heart and have continued to evolve over the years. I will always love Hyundai!!
I'm sorry
@@minecrewsupernt831shut your mouth, boy!
I can’t say anything bad about Hyundai. I bought new, a 2001 Elantra GT with manual 5 sod and literally drove the crap out of it. I taught my two teenage sons to drive with this car and they drove the crap out of it as well. Other than tires, brakes and a water pump failure at 100k miles it served us well. I ended up selling it to my mechanics son in 2011 who continued the tradition of driving the crap out of it.
You got lucky..
I bought a new 2011 Elantra but I didn’t get to enjoy it long. Someone Tee boned me and destroyed it and sent me to the hospital with some serious but not life threatening injuries. I miss that car. But the insurance bought me a Sonata of the same year and I really like it even though it’s pre-driven.
I just saw a new model big Ram truck pulling an expensive travel trailer on the interstate broke and Smoke was billowing everywhere..
Something really bad was wrong with that truck.
@@glennso47 Well it did its job and took all the damage. Glad you made it ok fellow human.
@@oreally8605 I guess I got lucky too
personally i think that the reason these two companies do so well is because of the amount of “luxury” features that come stock. you get so much for such a cheap price. i have a 2021 elantra and it looks and feels like a luxury vehicle
They’re compensating ahead for horrid engineering, terrible design, poor quality, and dreadful manufacturing. Stinger my Schnitzel, German facelift to a sagging Korean @$$.
@HWTL6. 10 you have a nice car
Literally this.
@@retiredrebel can you recommend a better car? Ive been researching for a month now. Almost all cars have compromise.
We went for the 2020 Elantra Limited. No issues and it does come loaded up. I've seen people pointing at it so I know it looks good too. The salesman said Hyundai is determined to become the car manufacturer of choice and is striving towards that goal. I can see they're succeeding pretty well too. 10 year warranty, free maintenance, roadside assistance all included. What's not to like... Oh and can get 40 MPG highway too.
I gave away a 2009 Kia Spectra that had 380k miles on it a month ago. I bought it new. In all that time the only part that was ever changed was the oil filter during regular oil changes. Never broke down once and still uses less than a quart of oil between oil changes every 5k miles
We know people that "researched" the 2007 KIA minivan years and years ago and bought a new one. We bought a used Honda Odyssey for a lot less. Guess which one is still driving, and which one was traded in as a lemon? That's right, the Odyssey is still running, even the 2002 with the 'faulty' transmission out-performed the 5 year newer KIA. More bells and whistles, but for long-term cost of ownership, Toyota and Honda still seem to be the best. (* with some exceptions of course)
When i turned 16 I got my grandma's 2005 sonata v6 with 127k miles on it. Its 9 years later and it has 223k on it and its still my daily driver. Its never had a serious issue and I havent treated it all that well
Wow. I put 100,000 on my car in just 2 years. You don't drive a whole lot do you?
@@mattc420 I drive every day. But ive generally lived within about 15 minutes from where I work
@@mattc420 the vast majority of people drive less than 20k miles a year, you're an exception
Scottie says 2016 kia optima is ok. I had engine problems on mine. Glad I didn't keep it.
@@BrotherK-ex2co my mom has a 2012. Engine failed but they were recalled so she got a brand new engine for free just last year
Whoever did the rebranding of Kia deserves a raise. Sporting a logo that looks like that with a car exterior like that and those internal features.. not gonna lie, looks mighty attractive. And "K5" is also just an excellent name
Love my k5
The cars look like they are called KN now. Not a good logo design.
@@jeffreycollins7297 looks like the Nine Inch Nails logo
Honda should hire Kia to design their vehicle exteriors.
@@jeffreycollins7297 hater gonna hate
As a former Kia salesman from the mid 2000's, I can say, Kia makes a damn good car. At the time, Kia stole the interior designer for the new Cadillac's of the time and they stole the exterior designer for the new Mazda's of the time. 2014-2016 was an exciting time for the Kia brand.
i had problem with one my Kia before trunk kept opening for no reason. but good car
Not stealing them, they just went to Kia because they were offered much better compensation because Kia is rich enough to offer them much higher dough!! Let's not assume things....
What about all the 2.4 L Motors blowing up or using a qt of oil every 500 miles?
Their DCT sucks
I've been religious about oil changes, and i can honestly, regarding my new 2017 Kia, the motor doesn't run after 88,000 miles, without conkin.
I’ve had my 2011 Sonata base model since 2017 when I bought it at about 94,000 miles. It has about 164,000 miles now and has NEVER given me issues and I do Uber and DoorDash occasionally. I do scheduled oil changes, etc. the only thing I remembered was like 2 years ago the battery died but that’s obviously an easy fix. I love my car! The only thing that I would say terrible with Hyundai is anything having to do with the LIGHTS. The taillights are ALWAYS going out and burning out
Try switching your taillights to LED. Except for the amber turn signals. Leave those standard.
I had a Hyundai Sonata, I loved driving it, loved the interior, the room. Just hated having to get it fixed often. But I recently got in a serious car accident and it’s safety features saved my life.
What year Sonata? Glad you're ok
Ela Bits 2015 Hyundai Sonata, I’m very lucky I’m okay, no broken bones just contusions and pain. The car was totaled but those airbags came through.
@@1curlynurse723 that’s too new for having issues. That’s why I’m worried to buy anything other than Toyota
jalcaraz612 I had a 2008 Toyota Yaris that had nothing but problems. It’s not about Toyota. It’s the car.
@@Joalse I have a 13 sonata 70k miles not a thing wrong with it
I bought my wife a new 2020 Kia Telluride last yr and it’s the first Kia we have ever owned. After 15 months of ownership? We have no regrets. It has had absolutely no issues and is a very striking vehicle, you will not mistake it for anything else so it’s looks are very distinctive and the 3 row seating was a big motivation in our choice for hauling Grandkids around !
Well time will tell, unfortunately you've made yourself a test case for this model... And when it does start to fall apart, oh my.... You'd have been better off with a Pilot (Honda) or a RAV4 (Toyota)... There's also the 4Runner and Sequoia/Landcruiser (Toyota) or the LX370/470/570 (Lexus - also Toyota)
Kia burner account lmao
@@ev-ezaye3580 Bro he can still sell it before it goes bad
Bought a Santa Fe in 2013, after years of GM's and more recently Subarus. 180,000km later the Santa Fe still feels like the day we bought it. Had a transmission problem early on fixed under warranty without an issue. Latest model with latest tranmission looks even better.....thinking of upgrading.
Also looking at buying the i30 N, as a hot hatch. The warranty even covers race track days!
Bought a 2013 Kia Soul a while back as my first car. Didn’t take as good of care of it as I should but it still lasted 130k miles without needing anything more than regular maintenance. The steering did get a little stiff towards the end and it was leaking/burning oil but would still be enough for 5k miles. Bought a 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz and for the price of what it included it’s great. Great warranty, basically every feature I would want (my trim doesn’t have adaptive cruise control) and it’s running great. Lots of people told me not to get Kia or Hyundai because they used to be poop, but now they are great cars for a good price.
Bought a brand new 2008 Hyundai Veracruz. Sticker price $30K all wheel drive. Bought it for $22.5K. Got one thousand credit for owning another Hyundai. As of today with 100K miles still going strong and it looks like any other new suv. Plus never seen a mechanic. Awesome suv 7 seater.

I just bought a Genesis GV70, it's my first Korean car, and I absolutely LOVE it!
I want a genesis so bad
Hey man! Good for you and cpngrats! GV70 is actually my dreamcar and I'm looking forward to Genesis coming to Europe. Until then, I thought about getting a used Infiniti Q50. 😄
@@pablokirbi5620 I actually had an 2014 Infiniti Q50 at it's launch year. I loved that car, but the first year, the Q50 had the 3.7 ltr engine and not the twin turbo engine yet. But yeah, you can't go wrong with the Q50, and the price on a used Q50 is really good, but the in today's market who knows?
G70 looks so nice. Good choice
@@scottlee4664 I actually have the GV70 that just came out this year. It shares the same chasis as the G70, but it's a compact SUV. It just won Motortrends "SUV of the Year" award.
Just bought a Kia K5 gt line a couple weeks ago. Truly an amazing car and a head turner! I overheard a couple walking past my car one day and they thought it looked so good that it was a luxury car like a Mercedes or something. Best decision I ever made!
was looking at a accord 2.0 wasnt sure between the two. you like the k5?
Same, just got a K5 GTL, so fun to drive and a real joy from inside. It looks great too!

I bought a 2009 sonata new.
Great car and zero problems.
Leased a 2011 sonata again a great car with no issues.
I bought a used 2015 Kia Sorento and drove it from Minnesota to Arizona and California several times and never any issues.
I am now considering a 2022 sonata hybrid.
Great cars and the best warranty out there.

8:30 - Using remote parking assistance to back your car into a parking space that's so tight that you can't exit the vehicle is a great way to get your doors dinged by the cars on either side without remote parking assistance.
Just what I was thinking - do this only if you are on good terms with a body shop
Not if the parking spot close to a wall or something Giving the car on the other side more space to open their door
I swear it’s an American thing to hit the car next to them with their door
Prob the kind of feature you cam use on your OWN property for more room for other stuff perhaps a garage? Or multi car family in a tight driveway.
imo it's more to get a car out after some asshat parks too close to your door.
How my parents felt about Honda and Toyota being less than desirable missing many years of great cars and it’s how most my generation feel about Hyundai and Kia until the Telluride and Stinger, respectively.
Coming from Michigan, both late parents retired from GM. My family WAS GM. My older brother is a mechanic and when he began to service Honda’s, Toyota’s he was amazed at vehicles coming in with over 600,000 miles and running smooth as butter. Well, after my last “ Great GM feeling” you know, recall, recall, recall, breakdown, breakdown and lots of walking as busted knuckles ! ! Took my brothers advise and bought a Honda Civic. That is the best decision I have made. Over 150,000 miles and not a single problem ,recall ect. Now my family will NEVER buy GM !!! Period !!!!!
Been thinking this

I identify as a Kia Stinger
I have a 08 Sonata and I absolutely adore it. It currently has 276,000 miles on it and still runs like a charm. I'll never get rid of it 🤣
One of our cars is a 2008 kia sportage 4 cyl that we purchased in 2008 brand new and now has 170k+ miles. Only tike it didn't run was when the started seized and had to be replaced at about 120k miles, still works great. Some small issues, but it runs and starts reliably and gets great gas mileage. Also have a 2020 sportage gdi 4 cyl and a 2015 bmw m235i convertible with 54k miles so far. None of these cars have had major issues so far.
I switched from Fords, Hondas in the 90s and 00s, to Hyundai and kia in the last 10, 15 years, Absolutely wonderful, high quality cars with the best warranty in the industry.
Exactly! I owned an 07 Entourage van..... and a 15 Sonata.....both excellent vehicles! And, I agree.... who else has a 10 year 100 thousand mile warranty. And, I had no warranty issues with either one!
People have had great luck with Grand Caravans and Fusions too... So much for Honda and Toyota being any better than anyone else I guess
Hyundai’s are cheaply built and plagued by silly little problems that could be easily avoidable with proper quality control. Just check out Hyundai paint peeling and that’s enough alone to stay away from these cheap vehicles.

Former BMW owner... Never thought I'd be in a Kia dealership. My local Kia dealership DOUBLES UP THE 10Y/100,000mi warranty to 20y/200000mi!!! That being said.. My wife now owns a 23 k5 gt line and I a 23 forte gt.
I almost cried when my wife came home with Hyundai Elantra 5 years ago but 90,000 miles later I couldn’t be happier. I honestly thought the thing was going to disintegrate quickly but man was I wrong. The only thing that has gone wrong is the keyless rear hatch lock. Other than that, it’s been great. Doors all close nicely, air conditioning works great, handles like a champ, even the brake pads are somehow still original with life left. Unlike my GMC Savanah van with 50,000 miles on it that sounds like baby rattler and you have to wind up like Nolan Ryan to get the doors to close on the first try and the air condition system does not instill confidence. I’m not scared of Hyundai. I’d buy another one.
I have a 2020 elantra. Great car.
Elantras are the most reliable Hyundai model
@@Moulds45 sonata is
I traded my "13 Elantra Gt for a "22Tucson. My GT was the absolute best I had no problems with that car and it was so nice. My Tuscon is beautiful I've had it for just about a year. Get this I bought the base model that nobody talks about. This car has to be one of the best cars around. I have most of the features that the upgraded cars. I don't have some of the electrical features like the automatic trunk opener, the pull your car out without you in it and remote start. Everything else is in it. Oh and I have volume and heat and air conditioning knobs that everyone is complaining about not having in the upgraded versions.
Hyundai are quality great cars.
Is it just me or Scotty has really blown production of his content out of the hinges? TOP QUALITY CONTENT.
He was using a separate channel at first for these videos.
I’m surprised he had anything good to say about either. He’s usually trashing them in his videos. I’m totally confused now after watching this. What next, which BMW, Mini Cooper, Mercedes to buy?
@@danr2513 At 9:25 he gives the warnings about what models to avoid and why. He's more consistent than alot of TH-camrs that are just here to make a ton of money.

You can also call that CRAP
Seeing the newer Hyundai and Kia models, I’m blown away by how great they look. Just got a 2009 Hyundai Genesis and I’m in love with it
Bought a used Hyundai Tuscon and drove that baby another ten years. Only big repair was less than $500. Eventually the timing belt went, while I was driving 😂, so it was a giant doorstop at that point.
Went car shopping, looked at everything and came home with a 2022 Hyundai Tuscon. The only thing I don't like about it is the rear view mirror doesn't tilt enough for my height, lol. Other than that, I'm in love!
Well definetly the Sonata, i have a 2010 model and it still runs great after 11 years, only changed one alternator but its held up in other ways, im happy with it

Haja, I'm an owner of a used 2011 Sonata Limited and recently had the engine seize on me driving down the street. Thought it was the starter until I found out , by my mechanic, it wasn't. Through some research and a quick call, told it could be under a recall for that issue and took it to the dealership. After a few back and forth calls, got the car back ( thank God). Word of advice, KEEP records of the service done to your car, like everything, especially the oil change even if you do it yourself. Had to send them one record that was done at a Jiffy Lube and all the times I've done it myself, which helped being I changed it every 7,000 to 7,500 miles....car runs great again so worth it!!
I had the engine replaced under warranty on my 2012 Sonata, even had 228,000 miles on it too.
U are supposed to get a new engine with lifetime warranty. No questions asked call hyundai head office.
@@michaellawrence3085 Sure will!!!
I had a 2016 Sonata, drove it 122k miles without an issue. When I put it up for sale it sold in 3 days. Looked brand new still.
Currently have a 2023 Sonata, very nice. Also a 2020 Palisade + 2023 Santa Fe.
We’ve had several other brands in the past, among them Lexus, Infiniti, Volvo, BMW. I’ll stick to Hyundai.
My daughter just got a 2023 Forte GT Line. Beautiful car! So solid and very well built. 3 driving modes, paddle shifters, racing peddles, sun roof and all the goodies. Even has Lo Jack. 26,000 sticker in California. Kia is pure quality!
This was hard to follow without Scotty waving his hands🤣🤣
But his voice is still awesome. He should get a role in Simpsons. I'm serious not mocking !
I bought a 2018 Optima in 2019. It now has 74,000 miles on it and other than replacing the battery and oil changes and new wiper blades, I've done nothing to this car. Literally nothing else. Not even the brakes. It's been a great car and glad I chose it.
Haha 3 years is nothing. 5-7 years is when Kia and Hyundai start to...fall apart 😬
I started with a 2013 sonata, loved the car . They replaced the catalytic converter at 138,000 under warranty. Totally shocked when dealer said it was covered under warranty. I then bought a 2019 sonata because it was a great deal. They gave me 3400$ on trade in and 6000$ in incentives, because the 2020 where coming out. Walked away paying 16000$ for it. Unfortunately I totaled it with only 22,000 miles. I now have had the K5. I love it. Had minor noise coming from engine compartment, dealer replaced motor. Said it was defective. It has the 1.6 turbocharged engine. I had the car back in two days with brand new motor. Service tech said this was rare for this motor. I love the way it handles and has plenty of power for everyday driving. I finally got my wife to test drive the palisade, we love it . Never got so many compliments on the palisade. Had it since January of 2020. Rides so much better than the last three Honda pilots she had.
Former 3 decades Toyota owner. Now owner of a 2014 Kia Cadenza Premium. Mid-level luxury sedan. Best car most ppl have never even heard of. IIHS Top Safety Pick. I really put a car through its paces. Let me tell you, this has been a great car. Eight years old and everyone who rides with me thinks it's a hybrid or electric. That is how quiet it is. When stopped, you neither hear or feel the engine. Super comfortable, loaded with extras, panoramic roof, sublime sound system and even has felt-lined wheel wells. It's about time to upgrade. Giving a strong look at the EV-6. 318 mile range, all-wheel drive. 0-60 in 2.8-3.0 seconds
How's the engine. I've heard different stories on the timeing chain tensioner
We bought a 2011 Hyundai Elantra new and it has be a great car. And it's still stylish and going strong.
I had one with 168k miles on it before it get totaled
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 lol 😂 I used to beat the hell out of mine it can take it. Just make sure to change the spark plugs when need be
I have 2011 Kia Cerato (forte) 1.6 auto. It's a great little car.
My 2015 Kia Soul has 173,000 miles and has had no major problems other than needing to replace the crankshaft position sensor which I was able to do myself.
My 2013 Sonata Hybrid is a little over 175,000 miles now. Still runs great.
SCOTTY!!! I LOVE your new presentation model. Much calmer and relaxing. No revving engines, no shouting. Just your usual good information Please consider this going forward... besides..it will save your voice-box!
Your presentation was soooo good to hear, clear and very usefull. I apreciate it.
Good luck !!
Bought my daughter a 2006 Sonota. She's driven it 7 years with very few problems.
What were the problems?
@@LittleMopeHead Some of the suspension components. Sway bar bushings and struts. Window regulator. Very common issues. No mechanical issues with the drivetrain. Car still runs great. 200k miles.
@@southernbrew4252 Hyundai’s have been underrated for a long time
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTTY!!!
Ps: These 2 carmakers are not as high in quality as Toyota, not even as funny nor pleasant. Beside of being the cheapest out of country car, nothing is amazing to them.
CHEERS!
@@fatbroccoli8 that's their own fault for making junk cars at first. I will never buy a new car so if these new Hyundai are good I don't care
I’ve been a mechanic for 45 years and we bought a 2018 Kia Sorento. WE LOVE IT!
Awesome performance, quiet, AWD. Stable and not bad MPG
Would buy another tomorrow and the day after.
Don't worry. It will die in 2-3 years.
Make sure to use full synthetic oil and perform a valve cleaning every so often. Thank me later
Scotty, Great Video. Nicely produced and extremely informative.
Hyundai i30 wagon 2016 1.6crdi 110hp 260nm 325k km bought at 269k km. I have changed the AC radiator when I got it because of leaking problems(250euro at authorized dealership in Romania) and recently changed the glow plugs myself(150euro oem plugs). Changing oil/filters every 15k km or once per year. It's a good car as long as it's still running:)
I'm in Australia and own a 2016 Kia Optima GT. Ours got a 2L turbo 4 cylinder. Puts out about 240hp, and 260 lb•ft torque... fantastic car, very comfortable, heated and cooled seats, radar cruise control, full leather interior with a Harmon Kardon sound system. I love it!
G’day mate, we’ve got 2 2016 Sonata 2L Turbos & love what they give in performance & safety 🇦🇺🍺👍
I’ve got a 2019 Optima Gt with the full glass roof, it has a few more feature than yours but it doesn’t have the cooled seats. For some strange reason they only opted for heated seats in the later models. Was so impressed with it we went back and purchased a Cerato Hatch optioned with both safety packs.
I am still driving my 2006 Hyundai Sonata that has 298,000 miles on it. I bought it in '07 with 60,000 miles on it.
The only maintenance I have needed was oil changes, tires, brakes, tire rods and suspension work. I am so happy to get so much use out of this car, but I'm still undecided on what my next purchase will be.
Hopefully I can get a few more years out of this car.
Thank you for this. I have a 2016 Hyundau Sonata Hyrbid limited, and I love it. Feels very luxurious, and adaptive cruise control is AMAZING!
Kia stinger?
Luck you I have 2006 sonata 165000 miles on it and I need a new timing chain 😢
Trolls say that it's meant to break down after 20 miles 🤣 My 2004 Elantra has over 300k kms and has been reliable work horse.
dont buy a new Hyundai they are crap. my 2018 hyundai santa fe is having oil consumption problems at 60K miles.
100,000 miles with the 2020 hyundai palisade and all it was needed was a brake line replacement and routine oil and tire maintenance. One small problem we have is the Trunk door where it sometimes won't open (Non-powered trunk lid) because of a faulty hinge which was recalled I believe.
Given the choice, the Sonata design is more my style. It looks more luxurious while the K5 looks more sporty. Someone gave me a ride in a 2021 Sonata and I was very impressed. It was comfortable, roomy, solid, and super quiet. I honestly don't know why anyone would pay a huge premium to buy a luxury brand car instead of just getting a loaded Sonata or K5. I previously owned a 2018 Elantra SEL that I bought new. It too felt like a luxury car, but on a smaller scale. So solid. So smooth. So quiet. Great features. Far more engaging to drive than the 2020 Corolla rental car I had at one point, which felt like a cheap tin can in comparison. I did end up selling the Elantra though because it was giving me too many big problems and the dealerships around me weren't fixing it after multiple visits. I just gave up and moved on. Sad because it was a very nice car and I loved it.
It’s funny listening to him sound super composed and calm after watching his ranting videos lmao
Super weird
Both Hyundai and Kia are going places. My wife ended up getting a 22 Tucson and my daughter the 22 Sonata after debating between it and the K5. These brands seem like they’re YEARS ahead of everyone else in regards to tech and features for the price. Also they’ve upped their game in regards to design. They’re insane. Love em both.
Looks good. Has fancy tech. But breaks down more than Honda and Toyota. Have fun paying for repairs because you want to look cool in your car.
@Ed Findlay lets talk about my three year old optima burning through 3 quarts a thousand miles.
I have a 2022 tuscon as well. I love it but to be honest, I fear engine problems 😓 I was originally looking at the Mazda CX-5.
@@mortgageapprovals8933 maybe it was a anomaly and pure luck, but before the Tucson and Sonata, my wife had a Kia Soul. Great car. We had it for 7 years and it never broke down. Thats why we decided for another Hyundai/Kia motor 👍
@@mortgageapprovals8933 Oh yea~ My Kia Forte still going strong after 12 Years. The only major problem is only the ECU board which only cost like 300dollar. Its still spacious enough to hold my whole family and it look cool until this day. You don't own one so you not sure what nonsense you talking about, if it because just heard from some friend. Then you need to go check more brand than just Honda and Toyota~ Your staement make you look like a T & H fanbois~
I have a 2016 Tucson with 94,000 miles on it and it is falling apart. It was fine up to about 80,000 miles after that forget it. Maintenance costs are the worst I have ever had and I am 70 years old who drives very gently and have performed prescribed maintenance without fail. Amongst the problems (over and above recalls) have been:
1) Cruise control module replaced
2) Traction control module replace,
3) Rear hatch latch control replaced.
4) Left side rear door latch replaced.
5) Two spark plug ignition coils replaced.
6) Brake fluid sensor and reservoir replaced.
7) Entire exhaust replaced due to catalytic converter failure (ridiculous expense).
8) Paint peeling off rear hatch.
9) Thermostat replaced.
10) Advised dealer heater doesn’t work properly three times and they haven’t been able to fix it. I live in northern Ontario, Canada and need a heater that works properly.
11) Last but not least the engine burns two quarts of oil every 3000 miles.
The cost for non-wear related maintenance 2020 through 2023 comes out to $4,130 which is more than my previous Honda FIT and Toyota Corolla combined. The Honda FIT and Toyota Corolla where incomparably reliable and durable compared to the Tucson. The Tucson is my first and last Hyundai and I will be replacing the Hyundai with a Toyota.
I never, EVER thought I'd hear Scotty speaking positively about Hyundais/KIAs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the fact they're going to make their own chips so they don't have to be outsourced. Other car manufacturers should do this also. Silicon valley hint hint
Hyundai and Kia are recalling more than 550,000 cars and minivans in the U.S. because the turn signals can flash in the opposite direction of what the driver intended.
Oh yes, the average American loving the logistics of things and pushing for more monopolization of production.
@@kuyre2239 Well,just press the lever in the opposite direction. ;-)
@@kuyre2239 watching people drive in NA I thought the turn signals was an option
@@SidewaysN you are confused.
My first car was a 2017 Optima LX+. Its an amazing vehicle. Being in the cold of Canada it never failed to start or have trouble. I would get another Kia in a heartbeat. I loved that car. I really like how Kia turned things around and are consistently working towards making better cars.
Also the dealership near me was fantastic and I never felt like I was just another sale. They took care of me and my car when I needed it.
dealer experience is just as important as the car itself
Excellent video. Thank you for the effort you put into making it.
I had the privilege of serving in South Korea during my time in the military. Beautiful country and even more beautiful people and culture. I loved it. Anyway, the Kia Optima is a workhorse of a car. Most Korean taxi services use the Optima. It's a great ride. It's roomy. It's comfy. It almost feels like it was designed to be a taxi. And I've never seen one break down. I've been tempted to buy one and that's the reason why I'm here watching this video right now. 😉
Bought a 2010 Hyundai Tucson mid 2009 and I drove it till this year about 6 months ago when I traded it in for a 2021 Tucson. My 2010 had 164,000 miles and only one issue in that whole time due to normal wear and tear. If you take care of your car and keep up with maintenance, they will last for a long time. Love my Hyundais
Sounds good. What area do you drive and how’s the road
@@turanhassan5968 I drive normal highway/freeway most of the time but on the days I work, I drive on a 5 mile dirt/asphalt mix road with the asphalt being ridden with potholes so it's a slow drive with lots of dust and rocks.
I've had mine for 15 years. It's been a great vehicle.
Text??
We used to be a Toyota family but have recently switched to Hyundai. Just bought the Sonata, Elantra and Genesis GV70 and we are loving them. The tech for the price is just currently unmatched by anybody currently. Toyota needs to step it back up instead of being complacent.
Honda>both
Well, I just ordered a 2023 KIA K5 GT (according to my dealer, they are not taking orders for the 2022 K5 anymore). It's going to take a few months for it to arrive. I had to take advantage of the used car market markups. My 2019 Honda Civic Si (7,400 Miles) is worth 6 to 8k more than what I payed for it when it was new. It's like the market is begging me to get a new car. Well, I am and I can't wait! P.S. love your content and am always looking forward to more.
Damn Scotty’s videos have grown in quality so much!! 🙏❤️ It’s been years since I’ve watched him.
Feels like this should be labelled as a 10 minute long Hyundai/Kia advertisement
Fine by me. Love our Hyundai Tucson 1.6T. And our Honda Accord. And our Jaguar XJRs.
Well....coming from a man who has no fear of calling a turd a turd, I would consider any praise from Scotty on any car as a reliable source of info. He obviously has his "favorites". But, even those he will call out bad engineering, defective manufacture etc.
Sonata=Korean classical music
Was a little wary when I was considering a Santa Fe, but asked around and a number of friends on the car game were also impressed. Took the plunge and bought a Highlander. A couple of little problems all covered under warranty quickly and without question. After 7 years ownership I would buy another.
Must be a bmw guy
I have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited Edition (Ultimate Package) and I had no buyers remorse nor do I regret getting it… Such amazing safety features and she’s a beauty and eye candy on the road 🥰❤️
I gotta say when you buy a Kia or Hyundai base lineup it's crap. But when you buy top trim model it's night and day.
Any problems with it? I had my eyes on a 2017 hyundai elantra limited
I20N, i30N and Sportage are my favourites in Europe
I learned so much and was entertained throughout the video! Very well made and educational! I subscribed
If you forget and " Accidently left your child in your backseat " you should probably be raising Hamsters instead of Children.
If a parent forgets their child in their car, maybe it's not such a bad thing to have their genes removed from the gene pool.
The rear seat sensor alert in the 21 Elantra is way to sensitive, it goes off if you leave something that weighs less than 1/2 pound in the back seat and turn off the engine.
Actually you are all incorrect. It happens with good parents usually after a change in routine, e.g. start of school, new job or more commonly - a new person driving the child. People go into autopilot and drive the same route - forgetting the child in the car. The best solutions are to always phone the new driver after they get to their destination to ensure the child is safe and to put your left shoe in the back seat with the child.
I never understood how some people can be so brainless to forget their own child in the back seat! There is no excuse for that.
Even subjecting an unwitting and defenseless hamster to the caretaking of braindead cretins like that... Poor thing'd have a snowball's chance in hell, man...
I am a Hyundai tech and I spend each week replacing engine after engine when Hyundai can get them to us! The worst are the Sante Fe, Sonata and Elantra. have had to replace 3 Kona engines this year so far. And the list of recalls on Hyundais is a mile long and keeps growing! If you like Kias or Hyundais more power to you but I do not recommend either brand.
Thank you. Most people are purely ignorant or dismissive of this truth. Their history of engine fires and failures is well covered in the media.
Had bought a new SantaFe sport in 2016. Engine needed replacing after 60000 miles. From now on it’s only Toyota for me.
And I bet anything as a '"tech" those are usa made models since they always have issues. Kona is wierd if that's even true since that's made in Korea and one of the most reliable models with multi port injection
Bringing in my 2016 Optima SX next week for major oil leak. Independent mechanic says leak coming from turbo. I'm the original owner with 90k and all software updates done. Hope they cover it🤞
Hi Joseph, Agreed, Can you find out if Hyundai fixed the theta 2 engines for the 19,20s Santa Fes? I read in a forum, they drilled extra holes to allow more oil flow. Do they know what the issue is?
When Hyundai first were imported to sell in the US, the commercials said “Hyundai-rhymes with Sunday”. I hear so many pronunciations of the name, but never hear anything near what would rhyme with Sunday.
I have a 2011 Hyundai Tucson with 190,000 and it hasn't given me any problems driving back and forth between San Diego and the Los Angeles areas. I even took it to Texas to visit my sister. My biggest issue is with blind spots. I can slowly drive through a shopping area and be alert and pedestrians suddenly appear out of nowhere. It is the only thing making me second-guess about getting the vehicle a second time.
As someone who’s owned two Sonatas and currently own a Sportage SX I never had an issue with any of them and they’ve all been the most reliable for me. All manufacturers have their few bad models and model years. They are actually great cars now and people just don’t want to admit it for the one bad engine they made.
I agree, Hyundai and Kia make some great vehicles for the money. I think they offer the best value for the money. I still give Toyota a A for reliability and quality but I would give Hyundai and Kia a B.
Agree ive owned two kia forte sx koups and currently a 2007 hyundai tiburon gt.. which all have treated me extremely well
I agree but scotty shouldn't talk about wither kia or hyundai
All he has done for years is crap on them
Personally they are my favorite 2 brands these days
Yep there are a lot of car snobs the just hate on the Korean brands
Meanwhile my 2019 Sportage lease has been recalled 4 times in just over 2 years for 2 known engine fire hazards and the motor blowing issue. Your Sportage must not have the 2.0 or 2.4 GDI engine. Consider yourself lucky.
2015 Hyundai Sonata SE.... 201k miles and the interior still looks new. Paint is starting to fade. I paid $21k out the door in 2015. The only major issue was the brake master cylinder going out at 62k miles. The dealer replaced it under warranty. I was worried about the engine defects but I change the oil every 3-4k. Shocks and struts at 120k and second set of replacement spark plugs just installed. All in all it's been a great car. I'd buy another.
I am only at about 150,000 miles on a 2014 Elantra. Luckily just maintenance so far.
I just bought a 2015 sonata for $10k with 60k miles on it. Hoping I don't have the brake master cylinder issue. Anything else I should look out for? I had a 2008 Hyundai sonata that I put 230,000 mi on and was still running when I traded it in.
I love my 2015 sonata still have it
I live in Europe and own a Sonata LF, 2015, lpg. Has 525,000.00 Km and is going strong. Changing oil and filters every 10,000 km. I received it with 480,000.00 Km; they say engine has been worked on, but it works fine. Cheap, comfortable, roomy, silent, eye catching, economic, cheap repairs (not any yet, but in principle). Very happy so far (made 43 k in 20 months). I can understand why many people do not like them mainly doe to no brand name, but when they drive it, they like it.
I have a 2011 Sonata and have been the only owner. Last month, (May 2022) the engine failed in exactly the way you described in the video. Unbelievably, Hyundai is giving me a rebuilt engine for free, even though it’s clearly out of warranty (11 years, 110,000 miles). I’ve never heard of such great customer service and my next car will either be another Sonata or Genesis G70. They’ve earned my loyalty.
How did you go about getting that? That’s amazing 🤩
Is 110,000 miles a lot for those engines. Im thinking about buying a sonata but I drive 32,000/year
Fun facts: Hyundai is the minority owner of Kia, owning 30%+ of Kia, whilst Kia is a minority owner of a couple dozen Hyundai subsidiaries, owning from 4% to 45% of different Hyundai companies.
Like other SK car companies Kia and Daewoo, Hyundai is also into other business besides cars, since it is a massive corporation that's into real estate, construction, civil engineering, railroads and trains, factory equipment and plant construction, ship building, oil refining, retail stores, cell phones, electronic chips, defense equipment including tanks, jeeps, apv's, firearms etc for SK military. Kia also makes military vehicles including tanks.
Did I just miss it or did no one mention a key aspect of these brands' recent success and development:
Their cars just are AWESOME LOOKING things!
I have a 2021 Cerato GT, I tell you 5 years ago I never would have considered a Kia.. But this thing is amazing and Kia have definitely turned their brand around
I have the Niro... KIA really up their game
I agree
Agreed! Especially Kia's, they make gorgeous cars.
@@utterbullspit Kia burner account 🤣
Had a 2012 and experienced spontaneous airbag deployment while it was empty, locked, and sitting still one afternoon. Opened the door to take my wife to dinner that evening and the interior was a mess. Stopped driving it after the 'fix' and traded it for a Town Car. The 2012 also REFUSED to hold a straight line on the highway. The steering boost had an overlap rather than a dead spot at centerline. It would either go left or right. Straight line was impossible and driver attention on the highway was MANDATORY. Taking a sip of coffee or yawning would find you in the midst of an inadvertent lane change. The engine/transmission combo was AWESOME in that car. It was always in the right gear, in the right rev range and responded quickly and smoothly to throttle input. The power band was perfectly smooth and the transmission GLORIOUS.
Now own a 2018 Sonata and all those issues were indeed addressed. I opted for the SEL with the Tech package. Over 100k miles now and it has been flawless. The engine & transmission are also very nice in the 2018, but the throttle response and transmission shift strategy are not as perfectly matched as the 2012.
I owned a Santa Cruz for a short time with the 2.5T engine. Even though the truck is heavier than the cars, it was fun to drive. Had to sell because of parking arrangement issues but glad I had it when I did.
I owned 2 different Hyundais, I had an accent and then an Elantra and both performed great. The Accent had 180k miles on it and only ended because the ex totaled it. My Elantra had 120k miles still running perfect but I traded it in a couple months ago. Now I have a Kia Sorento and I really love the Kia.
@@lowbou2368 both of mine were 2010, the accent I purchased as a rental car with 13k miles on it. The Elantra I purchased from an old couple who were about to retire and travel, it has 89k miles on it and they offered it to me for the payoff only which at the time was less than $1k. Best purchase hands down I have ever done and it ran great up to when I traded in for my Kia which was also a rental.
180k miles lol
Laughs in 300k miles
@@n7sithis336 I rarely ever go near that, I had a nissan with 280k miles, other than that I trade my cars up well before 200k and I dont put many miles that quickly. My new SUV I put 2k miles in over 3 months and that was extra summer trips.
@@Jakereviewsall wait. So are you saying you are continuously always paying car interest on payments for the rest of your life?
Good thing u totaled that ex too. Now you can get a new one
I worked at the Kia Manufacturing plant in West Point Georgia for 7 years (2009 (opening of plant) - 2016) I started in the paint department and ended in Final Inspection department and I have to say the quality control for Kia is one of the most thorough and precise processes in the entire automotive industry. I'm so glad Kia and Hyundai hired the right personnel and the South Korean and American counterparts are working closely to put out one of the best vehicles on the road today IMO. I love my 2012 Kia Forte Koup SX 2.4L 6-Speed Manual, Bought it New in September of 2011 and it has 178,000 and still running strong. Next Vehicle will either be the Forte GT or the Kia Stinger GT2. Keep innovating Kia and Hyundai, don't take your foot of the Gas pedal!
hoe did you determine that with all the kia issues and the fact you worked at the same place not many places??
@@ko-Daegu I've been in the automotive industry since 2007, first in manufacturing, now as a certified master technician for Foreign and domestic vehicles. I can assure you that initial quality for Kia and Hyundai is a level above other manufacturers. Their JD Power awards speak for themselves, I don't have bias because I don't work for them anymore, I just work on just about every make and model on the road today. Yes Kia and Hyundai have had their fair share of recalls, most of which have been for 1 or 2 certain engines that have premature bearing failure in which they stand behind their warranty (best warranty in the industry), "some" other makes are following the same warranty, but they stand behind it without question. That's how I've determined what I stated before.
Kia front end is all plastic. Crash it, would be totalled. 2015 owner and still paying and the A/C doesn't work. Not worth the money. Engine is running different since purchase too.
I have a question, I accidentally left my Kia cvt idling overnight (not used to the start stop button 😕) do you think that could have damaged anything with your knowledge? It didn’t over heat or run out of petrol it was still idling when I came back to it the next day
@@georgiacleary5067 Lol no it won't cause any issues. The only thing you did was waste some Gas (petrol). Other than that. No problem.
I own a 2014 Sonata SE.did not have any major issues up to now, it has 133000 kilometers ( 70000 miles ) rustproof and waxed yearly. Planning to keep it for another 130000 kilometers or 70000 miles. If possible.
Come on... reveal how much you got paid for this promo.
No wonder Jeremy Clarkson once said “that’s a noble and proud car” to a Hyundai I30.
It was an i10
When I was looking for a new car in 2015 I decided just go ahead and also take a look at the Kias because why not. My expectation going in wasn't good cause I had owned one about 10 years prior and it wasn't much of a car. I was so blown away by the quality for the price that I got a Kia. No regrets.
I was pretty much like everyone else before. The inside joke we had was that Kia stood for Killed In Action lol. 🎬 Well now being the very proud owner of K5 GT-Line I eat my words!!
I also drove the Stinger GT and can tell you this with considerable confidence. This car has a very solid chance of becoming a true classic. It has all the hallmarks of what a classic car is & should be.
When it finally is discontinued later this year as production is shifted to electric crossovers along with the K-5. People will be wishing they had one when the price doubles as I fully expect it will do.
My K-5 was worth every penny of the 35K I spent on it. Best advise I can give is try for yourself s*** the naysayers. Kia keeps this up we may have to change the name to "Keep It Awesome!!" :b
I just switched from Hyundai to Mazda. I loved my first Elantra GT. Then, I got the Elantra GT-N. So many stupid little things broke on it in my three year lease. Within two months, my hood latch broke. My parking brake button broke. Now, my parking break is sticking.
I moved from MA to FL. My Hyundai dealership in MA was AWESOME. They were on top of maintaining my car. They took VERY good care of me.
The Hyundai dealership down here in FL is HORRIBLE. I can't get in without an appointment, which I have to book six months in advance. I'm a small business owner. I can't do that crap!
So, I switched to Mazda. I got a 2022 CX-30 Premium Plus Turbo Edition. I LOVE it. It's an SUV with a 2.5 L turbo 4cyl. I get about 30 miles to the gallon in city on eco mode. In Sport mode, about 25 mpg in city. It's sexy, too. It has a very similar sexy front end look to my Elantra GTN (which I still have, and do enjoy as a six speed manual transmission). All in all, I miss driving a manual, but I love the luxury, and how the littles things aren't as flimsy.
Edit: My Mazda has the phone connection too. He texts me as often as my hubbs does. Mr. Mazda notifies me about fuel levels, tire pressure, door lock status, and I can start and shut down my car via the app. It lets me know where it is, also.
Hey, thinking of buying a Hyundai. I am in MA. What was your dealership in MA?
Scotty in 10 years: "The years of Sonata's and K5's to avoid, the 2021-2022 models may contain defects..." 😂
Lol
And here's a great electric car!!!
Can't wait...😁😁😁
❄️❄️❄️
Good thing I have an elantra
I’m surprised he didn’t talk about the n-line sonata. Overall, great vid. What a time it is to be alive hearing Scotty talk good about Hyundai/Kia lol
What did he miss?
Chill Scottie just what I needed during my break 😎🥂
I just got my 2023 Elantra N had a 2016 civic touring, absolutely am in love with the car. The civic had rattled everywhere speakers sucked and rattled at the rear deck ain’t a civic if it ain’t rattling. The Elantra has a much much much nicer interior much more comfortable, power is amazing and so is gas mileage. They out did themselves with the Elantra N
I had a 2011 Hyundai, and it only had about 94,000 miles in it. It still looked really good, and I did not have any major problems with it. Unfortunately, it was stolen.
Did you a favor based on the video. 😉
for real? they said thief doesn't want to steal Kia or Hyundai. lol
The thief didn't have much of a brain
Sorry I laughed at this
I'm so sorry....
Life is more fun, more interesting when someone takes this kind of time and effort to teach, entertain, educate , I love cars and I love these videos 👏🏿
What do you think about the Genesis? I like
Kinda sounded like more of a comercial to me than one of Scott's regular
second that
Ok black hands kid
They paid him most definitely!! You can tell seems like he’s reading a script that’s not his regular tone he talks like
We own a 2016 Hyundai Sonata Limited Hybrid. Before the car reached 62,000 miles the hybrid battery, battery module, gas engine, generator (alternator starter combo) all had to be replaced and several recalls. Most of these repairs were done under warranty, so the cost was minimal. The car left us stranded several times.
