Tesla is going to corner the EV market in the US, Rivian has prestige, but it’s so expensive you need a mortgage for the repair bill.
Tysm I was gonna buy 2 Hyundai u saved Mr god bless
Same here, I have a 2014 Passat Sport with (56K) and all had to do is regular maintenance so far.
Every time Scotty reviews a new car, that gives me another reason to keep my 24 year old Toyota.
At the end, reliable car means SAFE!!! Consumers wants to change the model every but they don't understand changing too fast is risk of having problems!
07 camry with 147k. I am keeping it to stay out of this crazy market. what do you have and how many miles?
If you maintain your car well, then it can last 500 k miles or even more!@@subaruamazon
@@subaruamazon 👍2000 Sienna. 207K. I DIY changed every part whether it needed it or not . I’m the parts cannon king.
@@Michael-yi4mc wow. those are great work vans. I am happy with my car but someday want a 15 to 17 camry. we always want something dont we? lol.
Scotty, I've owned a 2006 KIA Sedona EX, No issues, traded for a 2016 Kia Sedona, No problems to date, my wife had a 2008 KIA Spectrum EX, no isses then a 2012 Hyundia Elantra, no problems, 2016 KIA Soul currently away at college, no problems with any of these except brakes and tires. I now own a 2022 Tucson, no issues. Please note that all these vehicles had their oil and fluids changed regularly.
He needs something to post about
Scotty isn't saying 10 out of 10 Hyundais will break down.
It's a fact that Hyundais break down more often than a Toyota and just because you have owned a good Hyundai, it doesn't mean others would too.
but at the same time, just because 9 Toyotas didn't break down, your 1st Toyota might.
Toyota has the same issues they several recalls right now@@Qpwoeiritu1019
They just recalled 381000 trucks for moving forward while in neutral
In contrast, my wife has a 2017 Kia Sportage. Bought new. $29K OUT THE DOOR. No issues. Leather seats, heated everything…my only complaint is the lousy mpg’s for a small 4 cylinder and the road noise. I think the road noise is because of the cheap tires used. But as a simple daily driver, she’s happy. And it didn’t break the bank. We will probably get rid of it at 100, 000 miles. But keep up with maintenance and it’s a fine inexpensive vehicle IMO.
For$29k u should absolutely get more than 100k miles out of a car. But that's the problem- they've figured Americans will trade in so why bother with long term reliability.
My Hyundais cars engine stalled after the dealership did an engine consumption test. The crank shaft broke and now they won’t honor their warranty even though my car is still under warranty. I drove the car only 30 miles after the oil consumption test and the engine blew up. I’m so disappointed in Hyundai they don’t care
Get legal advice
Hyundai builds cars like Boeing builds 737s. It's going to crash on you.
Same thing happened to me.
Dirtbag dealership did something similar to my parents, wouldn’t cover a warranty repair, said car was out of warranty and said the purchase date was 8 months prior to my parents buying it, even though they had all the sales paperwork from that dealer. Stay away from Paramus Hyundai. Hyundai corporate was useless.
Same
My wife drives a 2014 Sonata Limited (purchased new) with the 2.4L Engine. It's almost at 95K miles. Maintenance has never been missed and it runs great! Get's close to 40 mpg on highway.
I bet it doesn’t have rear wheel drive like the Hyundai Scotty has in the video.😂
Hu? Scotty must not know what he is talking about then. 😅
Hyundai social media marketing team.
My 2012 Accent is going strong at 108k.
I realize it's not one of the vehicles discussed here.
Not part of Hyundai marketing team, lol. Not every car is a lemon.
I have a 2013 Optima (parents bought new) that just crossed 100k and still runs great! Regular maintenance as well and planning to keep it until the wheels fall off.
Well I have a 2016 Santa Fe Sport with a 2.4 l gdi engine. I have cleaned the valves with CRC Gdi valve cleaner every 15,000 miles. The vechile now has 120,000 miles. The vehicle runs like a new vehicle as it should. My other vehicles are a 2006 Tundra and 2000 Honda Odyssey. Both of these vehicles work perfectly as I maintain all of my vehicles
Absolutely key is to do maintenance, if not overkill maintenance.
That’s great. Toyota owners don’t need to do that. We just take it in for oil changes.
Thing is, we shouldn't have to maintenance queen a Hyundai like we would a German luxury or Italian road car.
How is the GDI Valve Cleaner applied? Thru the air filter, or do you have to pull the rocker cover off?
Wish I had seen your comment before August of 2023, I would still have my 2013 Santa Fe Sport 2.4 L GDI with me.
I’ve owned over 3500 cars in my 65 years ( was a licensed dealer) but I drove every single one of them. My experience is one fire only which was on a 1999 Jeep Cherokee from an electrical short under the dash which overheated and caught fire. I found the Hyundais to be less durable than most Japanese brands. Of all the cars I’ve processed and sold I believe the Toyota Corolla and 4 Runners were the most durable and lasted really well. Mazda 3 also were really good cars
Hyundai is a Korean brand
Have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Put 249k on it before I had any issues. Was a good car.
My friend got a pre-owned 2016 Hyundai Santa-Fe back in 2020 for ~$9000. Not even a month of owning it, there’s something wrong with the engine so she took it to the dealership. They end up replacing the engine, but since it’s a manufacturer error, it can be replaced with no cost. I’m just happy that nothing bad happened to her, but she has successfully convinced me not to get a used Kia/Hyundai despite of more affordable prices…
$9000 used car, and a new engine under warranty? Sounds like a deal to me 🤷🏻
My family and I have owned multiple Hyundai/Kia vehicles, starting with the Tucson in 2005 (which we still have and is still running strong). We have a 2005 Tucson, 2013 Kia Soul, 2018 Kia Rio, 2018 Kia Sportage(recently traded in for a 2023 Sportage) and a 2021 Kia Sportage between us all. They were taken for all required recalls and given routine maintenance and oil changes. There were never any problems other than routine maintenance requirements for any car (new tires, brakes, etc).
Either we're the luckiest family in America or a lot of people don't know how to take care of their cars and blame it on the company.
Who willingly buys a Hyundai?
Unless you have a crate engine standing by for it no absolutely avoid those cars.
@@erikjavick240Many people who buy inexpensive cars generally abuse them and do not service them properly. But then again so do some people who buy Bentleys. You just never know unless you buy from someone you do know.
I had a my 2006 Hyundai Sonata 16 years no issues. I have a 2020 Sonata and it’s been great. My parents 2016 Santa Fe works great. My sisters have had Sonatas too all worked great. My only complaint is the glass in the windshields. I think we all have had a cracked windshields. I’m going to get the new 2024 Santa Fe.
My dad bought 2006 Sonata with 2.2 CRDI few years back for backup vehicle for 1000 eur. 465 thousand km in odo.
Thus far only problems has been to replace injector seal rings (which is very simple and cheap fix, but can cause bigger isfues, you should do it if you haven't in these diesel engines), fuel gauge has electronic issue so it doesn't work, and had to replace rusted fuel line in the back.
It's solid car I'd say. Much better to drive than my wifes 2012 Toyota Avensis with half that in odo and 10x more expensive in used market.
There are problem cars in Hyundai/Kia lineup, but thanks to it the good ones are a steal, if you know what to look at.
My 2011 Accent is now at 347,000 miles! 1 owner - me.
I hear good and bad about accent. you probably change oil every 5k miles synthetic no? what else? how is the tranny?
Same, I have a 2015 Accent with a GDI and I’m at 175k miles, Ive had to replace wiper blades, and one $200 AC issue that I got fixed. It’s been an excellent car.
How does one do 27000 miles a year?
Daily commuter and long range weekend driving. Put 500,000 on a 1989 VW Golf@@atticstattic
My 2011 accent lasted only 160,000 km
Hi Scotty I have a 2018 kia optima with the gas GDI engine I have zero problems with this car smooth running quality made car no noises etc very nice looking car it's over 5 years old not one issue
After 7 years I promise you that problems will start to come to you. I have owned kia before and never will ever again
2008 santa fe best car ever never any problems 280000 miles !!!!
Because it's an older one, they actually made decent vehicles up till 2011, after that they went downhill fast.
I got a 2013 Kia Rio with 306000 km. Lol. Not to much work done on it.. is burning oil now but keeps on going.
My college student daughter drives a completely loaded 2008 Santa Fe AWD with 320,000 miles on it. Doesn't burn or leak a drop of oil, and the inside of the engine is spotless. Best snow vehicle in the family., and we live in Colorado. Drives like new. Best part, I bought it six years ago for $1000 with a blown transmission at 195k. $450 for a used transmission and a couple of afternoons busting my knuckles in the garage and it's been unstoppable since. I keep asking my daughter if she is ready for a newer car. She says she never wants to get rid of it. So while they have a lot of GDI and Theta II engine issues, those pre-2010 Santa Fe vehicles were very well built.
Found a 2012 Honda Accord 2.4l coupe with 306,000km for $4,800 2 weeks ago for my wife. Runs amazing 👍
was between and accord and camry. a used camry became available so i bought it. it has had some repairs but 147k it is in pretty good shape.
Okay but this video is about Hyundai & KIA not Honda
@@Celestial_Being666 so now what?
It is also about why Honda and Toyota are superior brands@@Celestial_Being666
Literally described EVERY car ever made. There is no perfect car out there. Every car has problems. Poorly maintained or not. Poorly made/assembled or not. Import or Domestic. EVERY car will experience an issue at some point and it will cost you. It's inevitable. Stop trying to scare people from specific car brands. If the car fits their specific circumstances in life than it is what it is. And for all the people who think I am just Hyundai or Kia owner that is offended. You would deemed incorrect. I don't own a Hyundai or Kia. I own a vehicle that fit my circumstances in my life. In which I don't owe the responsibility to anyone to tell what I own.
So true. They’ve made so much revisements, but not every car is perfect. Toyota and Honda has had lots of recent issues also.
Just to report….our 2020 Telluride 3.8l was purchased new. Full synthetic oil change every 5k. Has 76k on it now with no issues. I did do the CRC intake clean myself at 60k. The engine does not consume any oil either. Only 2 or 3 services were done at the dealer, the rest done myself at the house. Obviously I have no idea what the long term reliability will be but I wanted to state my experience so far.
Our 2021 Kia Rio 1.6 has been great. 36k so far. LOF every 5K too. Burns no oil. Gets great gas mileage, up to 48mpg
Not yet, it's coming
@@natelove187
Just sharing my experiences so far.
Thanks for your input
Not a fan of 5k miles but to each there own owned plenty cars well over 200k 3500 full synthetic oil not saying it won't go each there own
Still have a 2011 Kia Optima 2.4GDI. Somehow it’s still going strong, but doesn’t have much mileage.
My 2013 kia rio started burning oil at 120,000 km
2013 Hyundai coupe caught fire while on freeway then exploded due to “engine issues”. I consider myself VERY lucky to have gotten out alive. The company was very weird about it, I’m glad to see more info coming out on it these days so people can at least be aware. I’ve been a fan of your channel for years, and took your advice into account when buying my most recent car a few years ago, thank you! Currently loving my Honda
Friend of mine got one in nov. She told me last night about the recall cause they catch fire! 😂
Damn you would have been a roasted turkey on that highway
Did anything come out of your incident? Seems like lawyers would have a field day with that situation. I would have talk to a lawyer to see if that's the case. That's unacceptable for a company to put the lives of its customers at risk.
Well Scotty you now have my heart pumping! I’m the owner of a 2024 Tucson, my fifth Hyundai which I have had no major problems with except for my 2006 Azeri where the transmission failed at 75,000 Kim’s (I’m Canadian). Hyundai replaced it under warranty and my son is still driving it with 398,000 Kms (he is frugal like you). You certainly have me worried about the Tucson but, I will keep you posted as I have a 150,000 km warranty! I love your informative posts so you can see why I’m now worried.
I had a 2007 hyundai azera got 240,000 miles out of that car good car...
If you can afford to replace your car every 5 years, it really shouldn't matter what brand you buy. Regular maintenance and warranty should cover anything. Only real worry is resale - which on a reasonably priced car shouldn't differ hugely anyway.
Just make sure you don't get into a head on collision....
@@ddduhawk3111 Please explain your head on collision worries? To me any collision is worrisome!!! I’m starting to regret buying our Tucson!
Got a 2012 that I maintain properly and never had a problem.
Had a 2006 Sonata before and never had a problem.
Best cars that I have ever had.
My wife own a 2013 Kia Optima EX she inherited from her mother passing five years ago and its been wonderful daily driver. I own a 2023 Santa Fe XRT I purchased in 2022 and Ive had not trouble with it.
Those problems were recognized on 1996 Mitsubishi 4G93-GDI engine that I believe the origin of the Hyundai Theta II-GDi.
The problems were enhanced by Hyundai.
Good information! That’s the kinda stuff that doesn’t make it to the public
Yep. The GDI tech that the Koreans brag about is actually 30yr old Mitsubishi technology with enhanced problems. I remember when the early Mitsubishi’s used to burn oil. Kia and Hyundai in 2023 still burn oil.
@@mrgurulittle7000
Same thing happened with MOST of our Mitsubishi’s in our Avis rental fleet. We maxed out our oil change intervals, ‘obviously’, at 7.5-10K mls and they would be burning a quart every 1-2K mls by then.
None of the other cars at that time would approach that
@@mrgurulittle7000checks out hahaha it’s a shame bc Kia’s and Hyundais drive nicely for the most part when they work
@@mrgurulittle7000all newer engines that are ultra efficient burn a little oil.
Me and my wife have been driving kia and hyndai for quite some time with no issues. We follow the maintenance schedule, like any car owner should do, and schedule any recall work if it gets issued.
🤷♂️
When people say Hyundais are unreliable, they generally don't mean every car with a Hyundai badge is going to fail. Among ever car brand there's going to be a percentage of cars that run to high miles without issue. It's just Hyundai tends to have a higher percentage of cars that do run into parts failure.
So you being a part of the high percentage that doesn't run into issues is believable, just be equipped with the knowledge of what you're buying
Same here. I have a Kia Rio and my wife has a Hyundai Accent. The Kia is a 2015 and the Hyundai a 2010. So, many years of use. 0 problems. Best cars we have ever had.
this year my Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 5 speed, just turned 21 years old. i bought it new. the car is fast and has incredible handling! in 21 years I've had to replace the starter motor and the radiator, that's it! . it's a cool looking black coupe , probably the most reliable, and fun car ever! all it needs now is a new paint job! I'm SURE Scotty knows what he is talking about, but so do I!!
2009 Tucson with 200,000kms still going strong
Checkin in with me 10 years from now and tell me about your Hyundai. My 2001 Lexus LX has 290km not a single problem.
Hyundai social media marketing team.
never never trust these copy and paste comment.
2021hyundai with 2000,00000,00000 Km still going strong. 😂😂😂😂😂
Likely the same engine as my 200k miles (320,000kms) Elantra! No leaks, still going strong!
For a car that is so awful there are as many of them on the road as Toyota. I've had at least 8 Hyundais and never had a problem with any of them. I even had a couple of the ones Scotty mentioned. Again. No problem. Any model or brand can have problems. If you like keeping your car 10 or 20 yrs then fine. But hold on to your shorts when you have to replace it. Especially since it won't have any value then. If you like getting new or newer every 5 yrs or so at least your vehicle should have a little value left. Have a nice day !
Perfect explanation.
Failed to mention the massive depreciation of a car in the first three years, so if you replace one every 5 years or so you will be absorbing big losses when trading it in. It's makes much more economical sense to maintain and keep a car for at least 8-10 years.
@@tims7738
Don't necessarily agree. After 10 yrs your car won't be worth much and after the warranty expires all the maintenance and repairs are on you. Then when you go look for another car you are basically starting from scratch and the price of a new or used one will probably knock your socks off. If you replace (not necessarily with brand new) you will or should have warranty and hopefully no repairs or problems.But do whatever works for you. Just my opinion.
@@user-yq3wu6qq7uEach approach has its pros\cons, however, I don't think Hyundai and\or Kia's hold up as well mechanically as Toyota, Honda, or Mazda over time. I can only speak from experience, have a Mazda3 for almost 9 years, only basic maintenance, runs like new. A comparative car like the Elantra may have similar results, but overall I don't think the quality is on par with the Mazda.
In 12 I was looking for my last vehicle. I looked at the Hun. Genesis. Loved the way it looked. But I was afraid of the motor (reliability). So I bought a GM Buick Regal GS a 13. 10 years and 83,000 miles. Blown motor. Always changed oil on time. Wishing I had bought the Genesis. Never again will I buy a GM product.
the 3.8's are supposed to be bullet proof.
My 2001 Olds Intrigue 3.5L has 96,000, great engine, weak transmissions on them.
The newer Regals either had a turbo 4 cylinder or a 3.6L V6 not the 3800 series motor.
I have a 2010 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 loaded. Just turned 106000. Had the extended warranty, only problem was the starter . Dealer replaced it at 88000 miles. Regular maintenance, and I still love the car!
@@dirtyjersey4672 are you NJ? Hudson county NJ. I hear good and bad about kia hyundai. i say it is oil changes and fresh filters that make the difference. If a toyota is not maintained, it can have the same problems.
Had a 2017 Elantra where the paint started pealing. The warranty was extended to 6 years but I was never notified and didn’t learn about the extension until after the 6 years. Was a good car aside from the amount of oil it burned.
Switched to a 2024 Corolla Hybrid after I learned my 2017 Elantra was burning oil. Good car but dealbreaker that the engine burned oil at just 67k miles which is when I found out.
Have a 2015 Veloster and the clewr coat stated chipping away a little over 2 years ago. So barely 5 years out of a Hyundai paint job before it starts going to hell.
Drove a 2007 Kia Rio V6 for 188,000 miles without any issues. Sold it to a young college student who drove it for another 6 years.
Nice
My neighbor asked me about buying a Hyundai Sonata because he loved the looks and all the electronic gadgets it has. I told him what Scotty said and recommended he lease not buy. So he did, he leased for 3 years. Meanwhile we have a 2010 Lexus RX that still looks and runs like new after 180k miles.
Buy buy. Best warranty out there
@@RB-es1vx hyundai warranty doesnt cover lost electronics.
Correct. Kia/Hyundai are great for leasing as you get way more bang for the buck than a Toyota, and return the car before any long term issues crop up. But if the goal is to keep a car forever, then you BUY a Toyota.
@@Pepe-dq2ib neither does toyota.
2013 Sonata, 117k, zero problems
I was told the engine problems were with the 4 cylinder. Our 2016 Kia Sorento has the v6 and it's been very good.
We have a 2016 Hyundai Tuscan 1.6 turbo. It's been good to us with no problems. As of yet.
miles?
Or kilometres?
It has 92k
@@hiesenburg669 The 1.6t is less prone to the common issues but it is still a gdi motor. If it doesn’t burn any oil right now I would definitely be looking into having an oil catch can installed that way you protect the piston rings. Just remember your climate if it gets too cold like freezing the contents in the can may freeze. We have 2020 tucson 60k miles doesn’t burn a drop or has any signs of carbon buildup affecting the motor catch can beat idea ever for this motor. Can I stalled since new I’m worried this thing will make it surpass 200k the way it drives right now it’s like better than new. Im begging for it to give me an issue lol but it just works.
I have an 18 year old Kia spectra, It has given me no real problems, except for normal maintenence. The only problem I have has has been with the shifter which was an easy fix.
My 2019 Elantra Sport is still going strong with absolutely no powertrain issues :)
Recalls schmecalls... even Toyota has them. I have 147,000 miles on my 17' Sorento, sold my 11' Sante Fe with 126,000 miles, my 07' Santa Fe before that with 107,000 miles. Our other vehicle is a Seltos SX with 35,000 miles... Maintain as you should and they should serve you well.
All cars will have issues , serious or not, no matter what. The point is whether dealership will take action or leave you stranded!
Really well I guess I'm a lucky one!!! 2001 TOYOTA 4-Runner bought new off the lot and NO issues what so-ever with 23 years 185000 STRONG " Oh what a feeling" I only go to garage to maintain my ride P.S. NO car should have" issues". if they were built well and you take care of 'em
I own a 2022 Tucson with a 2.5 Eng and HTRAC. Purchased July 2022. Have had NO PROBLEMS! Will keep you posted if I have any.
Thanks to the Scotty I bought a 2024 Mazda CX5 vs Hyundai Tucson as they were both 0% 60 months and we needed a car bad. RAV4 were 8.25% or 5.99% my bank
My 2023 Santa Fe left me stranded on the side of the road in busy Atlanta rush hours. Dealer is trying hard to not replace my engine under warranty. F that 10 year 100,000 Powertrain Hyundai Kia do not stand behind their pos.
Previously I had a genesis coupe 2.0 and the engine was burning 1 qt oil a month.
Do not trust jd power all they do is take money from manufacturers and ranked them higher.
My 2002 Ford and my 2006 Acura never gave me any troubles.
Wow I see a lot of comments about hyundai won't honor the 10 yr warranty.. my mom's 2012 sonata blew engine just months before 10yr expired and they honored it and gave a new engine still had to pay a few grand tho. I guess my mom got lucky..
@@sungkettlerif your mom had to pay a few grand they definitely didn’t honour the warranty lol . They probably just made her pay “ their cost” and charge her any extra .
For ex , as a bodytech , my material to paint a part is about $130 on average. I charge $350 per part . For family , I’ll just charge my material.
2024 Hyundai/Kia recalled for defective valves, blown engines, now also rear axles were not forged properly and snapping!
So why don’t you talk about the major Honda V6 recall for catastrophic engine failure and recalls for Toyota?
@@JohnLee-db9ztmake a video about them
2007 Elantra owner, close to 200k miles. I've only had a throttle position sensor replaced under warranty in 2011. Recently lost the engine on the road, and it was from bad gas! Besides that and a vandalized window, and occasional cracked windshield from road pebbles, car is trouble free. Paint still looks good, with occasional washing and I've never waxed it. The interior does need some work as the sun visors have both failed, but the cloth seats are holding up great with no rips or tears.
I guess it depends on the model. I have a 2005 1st gen Tucson with a 2L CRDI engine and I love it. Had it for over 4 years and only normal maintenance. All electronics work, plenty of power and does about 32 MPG.
that gives me another reason to keep my 14 year old 300K Kia Borrego.
Wow. Good to know. Yeah I see LOTS of used hyundais and Kias on sale In Las Vegas with 200k + miles. Some people swear by them.
Some people on forums say they have nothing but problems with toyota prius. Others get 500k +. A guy is selling his used prius In Vegas and it has 500k miles. His other one has 300k miles
Yup, my SIL didn't listen to us and bought herself a Santa Fe. Driving down the hwy it threw a rod. Luckily for her even though she bought it used Hyundai is going to put in a new engine in for free. I think she should trade it in as soon as she gets it back.
The engine is covered for life.
I have a 2015 Sonata, that my mom bought new, it runs great no problems. It only problem was a broken plastic gear at the bottom of the steering shaft. The car has just under 115K, it only once showed a check engine light, it went off and never came back on again.
I had a 2021 Hyundai Elantra, and just about every time I started the car, there was a small grinding noise. It sounded like the starter wasn’t lined up correctly? Anyway, I traded it in for a 21 Acura ILX. What a huge difference in everything. The technology package is nice. Power seats, heated, ect…. Night and day! I used to have to pump a lever, to adjust my seat! It was an SEL MODEL. Because of Scotty, I took his advice, and knowledge, and bought a much more reliable car👍
You’re comparing an econo car to a luxury car, which is much more expensive? The logic 🙄🤦🏻
18 Kia Rio 130k bought new. Cant keep oil on the dip stick. No smoke No leak. Runs excellent. Eats 4 qts per 3k mi.
Saves doing oil changes only change filters every 5k miles? 😂
Recommend you change the PCV valve. It ma slow down the oil consumption@@halaheleu7013
We’ve had 2 Santa Fes, a Sonata Coupe Coupe , a Genesis G80 and GV 80 over the last 15 years with no serious issues
A lot of cars for 15 years . I’ve had the same ONE Toyota for 20
Wow 😮!! That’s amazing!
I have a Chevy Vega that is still running! I don’t understand why people say it’s the worst car ever made?!
I can’t buy any new model either for cars or shoes never POS no reliability
We had a 2018 Kia Sportage but just got rid of it for a '23 Nissan. The Sportage ran fine while we had it but we did have to bring it in for that knock sensor recall. Same engine problem as the other models where all the software does is when it detects the fatal knock, you're supposed to get it into the dealership ASAP. Most likely what would happen is they either ignore it and say it's fine or replace the engine. After doing the software update, Kia then provided a lifetime warranty on the powertrain. Not a bad deal but concerning none-the-less.
My 2016 Tucson's engine seized up at 44K. Luckily I was on a back road. The lady at the dealership didn't even shrug when I went in, just handed me the warranty claim form. It took a couple months to replace the engine during which time I had to squeeze into the Accent they loaned me.
I bought my wife a brand new 2020 Elantra 3 1/2 years ago. So far so good.
Scotty is right about new cars. Most of them have problems. Keep your old car if it has a manual transmission. And enjoy the reliability, too.
In my experience, I've just sold my 7 year old Kia Sportage Diesel DCT Auto which I had from new; I did 132k miles in it and it never missed a beat! It has been the best, most reliable car I've ever driven and still looked like it was brand new on the day I sold it.
This is exactly what happens when a car is built to meet a low price point. Compromises aremade, and they can be ugly.
Never buy the cheapest new car on the market. It will have problems, whether a Model T Ford in its time or a Hyundai (hun-DIE) or KIA (the acronym for "killed in action") today.
Except they have been increasing in price as much as jeeps.
I am not sold on any EV's right now
Plug-in Hybrids are superior to all electric autos.
We had a 2017 Hyundai Tucson . It was the only new car that never had any problems or warranty claims on the 4 years we had it .
I bet it was under 100,000 thousand miles too. That’s a big part of the reason why you had zero problems
Yes it was . But I have to say , had far more issues on other makes . Current Volvo been back 3 times
@@204driver i’m not surprised about Volvo they are endless money pits with a history of problems just like Hyundai & Kia . Definitely get rid of that while you can. Sorry to hear that
I owned a 2001 accent for 17 years, 2007 entourage for 8, and the dreaded 2016 Tucson for 7 years. No major issues with any of them. I keep them well maintained. I am looking at the older panther platform and a possible Toyota due to higher maintenance costs and getting back into working on cars myself.
Hyundai for me has been great im on my third one, very reliable vehicles. I’ve had the 2017 Elantra, then the 22 kona limited with the 1.6T and dct tranny (that was the only flaw was the tranny wasn’t smooth starting into 1st). Now have the 24 Kona electric limited. All have been great vehicles. “The Kona electric is my favorite one)
This girl i know has a hatchback elantra and she drives it back and forth on a rough muddy road and her car has a really hard life and it handles it well.
Better than my dodge hands down.
So im sold on hyundai.
I purchased a 2013 Hyundai sonata in September of 2013, and just traded it in for a 2023 Sonata July of 2023. Never had an issue and got over 300k miles on it. I was always up to date on maintenance and normal wear and tear. Never an issue with the motor.
300l????? Miles???? my sonata 20`3 has 170k. no problem here i keep it good too. did you get a good deal on the 2023?
@@JedimillerReturns. They gave me just over 1 thousand dollars for it. I ended up getting a 2023 Sonata SEL with the convenience package and love it
My 2011 Elantra GLS ticks with port injection, but runs fine at 171 k miles. Doesn’t leak or burn any oil. OCI every 4500 miles with full synthetic.
And the thing is: they're not even significantly cheaper to begin with.
I've owned 5 Hyundai vehicles and I will never own another car as my daily driver; my experience has been positive for ALL 5 cars with exceptional customer service at 3 different dealers! Genesis will by next car!
When i see Hyundai i get 🤢 🤮
@@genesiskwanza8335Sorry to hear that; my experience has been universally and consistently positive; they stood by me as a customer and the dealer culture (of the 3 I have dealt with) was professionally consistent. The value for dollar spent is strong; the vehicles are stylish, well equipped, with acceptable performance...I'm a fan and will be a life-long owner!
Loved my 2002 Elantra. That engine flooded with water and still ran for 20k miles after it dried out before I sold it.
My 2011 Sedona just 205k miles and still drives great! Nothing but oil changes, brakes, and shocks for the last 105k miles!
2019 Hyundai Sonata Sport SEL….have had it since 2020 and I absolutely love everything about it. MPGs are great and it is somewhat loaded, thankfully I haven’t had any issues, I maintain it well too, so not all Hyundais are awful…just fyi
Kia recall for engine valve springs may cause fire
Kia is recalling 2,872 of its 2024 Telluride vehicles. The engine valve springs may break while driving, which can result in a loss of drive power and possibly create a hole in the engine block.7 days ago
And Honda recently recalled their cars with V6 engines for catastrophic engine failure. Every manufacturer has recalls.
Kia Tellujunk
My next car will be KIA NIRO.
I trust Scotty, but prices for used rav4 hybrids are insane. There's absolutely no point of calling something better if it's in a different price category.
Kia boys gonna end up happier u decided to skim out
@@sglbetathe Kia boys can’t steal them anymore, and it doesn’t work on push button start ones,
Doesn’t mean they won’t try.
My daughter had a 2016 Kia Soul that needed a catalytic converter twice and she was always getting the breaks repaired on that thing. Someone tried to steal it even though it was the top model with the push button start...so she had to replace back side window and fix steering wheel. It got totaled 2 months ago with over 120k miles on it. We told her not to go near a Kia again or Hyundai ...so now she's in a 2021 Mazda CX-30 and she loves it so far.
i think thats things your dudghter had with the kia,fot 120k miles are normal problems o ones you can have in every car
I’m happy with my 2023 Kia Sorento SX Prestige purchased it November 2022 currently has 11k miles sold my 209k miles 2017 Toyota Highlander for it
Your car is what 1 year old??? You have very low expectations.
Don't expect your Kia to last as long as a Toyota. They're very Nice and great for leasing, much cheaper than a Toyota. I have an 06 Highlander, my wife leases a new Sportage. I love her car. But it's going after 3 years. Sell your Kia after a few years just to be safe.

I love my two Kias. A 2015 Forte5 and a 2024 Seltos. Been great cars (the Seltos approaching 40K miles).
I have had 4 Hyundais from 2009, 2011, 2015, and 2023.
No problems whatsoever.
Don’t get me started on the new Fords I have had until I finally woke up!
My dad still owns his 2007 sonata and 2010 3.5 v6 santafe and till this day he had no problem with them. Only sanatafe went to shop to change its cvvts at around 160k kilometers cause they were making rattle sound at startup. But beside that zero problem and both are imports made in korea
I had a 2018 hyundai elantra gt with only 32,000 miles. I'm the original owner, and it is in excellent condition. I went to renew my insurance and they only wanted to give me liability since they are stolen left and right in Phoenix. I ended up selling it and buying a 2005 toyota Rav4.
You came from zero to hero😂😂😂
This goes the same for ALL direct injection engines.
I love my 2010 Accent(345k) and 2009 Elantra Touring (285k). Lol
2011 Sonata GLS here. 145, 000 miles. 2.4 Theta. No problems. Done all the recalls. Use Mobil 1 Full Synthetic and K&N filters changed every 6 months, Top Tier gas, Do the required maintenance on it. No problems, just brake jobs in my garage from time to time. Great car. Better than the Ford nightmares I've owned. Wife doesn't like the drive or ride in Toyotas and Hondas, loves the "fit" and "pep" of this one. The only bad part of these are the rust bucket rear brakes, changing them out is a royal pain, and the calipers tend to rust out and lock. Spring the extra cash and buy the rust treated ones from Rock Auto or such. My other rides are pre-1995 Jeeps. I work on them myself. Love, em.
I had a 2012 sonata I sold it with nothing wrong with it it was a 2.5 gdi I only changed the oil once a year never had a problem with it. it has 178000 miles on it i never did anything but put breaks on it. Now I have a 2022 kia k5 GT I love it I recommend this car to everyone

Hyundai's got the best car warranty out there
Mitsubishi actually has better warranty. You’d be lucky is Hyundai stuck by their warranty.
And you just might need it.
Mitsubishi in Australia has the best warranty 10 yrs.....a lot of people will buy a car due to the length of a warranty.

My 2020 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 is still running great also 🤞 🤞 🤞
My son’s girlfriend just dumped a 2018 Hyundai Tucson on a Mazda dealer (@ 48k mi) for a new MX5. The Tucson was burning oil so bad it had 1/2 quart left in it the last two 4K mile oil changes.
my best friend's family has bought all of scotty's favorite cars: 2 Kias, 2 chrysler caravans, and a chevy equinox.
I believe Kia/Hyundai quality peaked in the late 2000’s. I had a 2007 Sportage with a V6 that ran like a clock for me. I would later upgrade to a 2006 Ford Escape.

For some reason he doesnt say about toyota and honda recalls...
My point.
I’ve had a 2021 HyunDAY Kona with the 1.6T engine for 41 months. No problems, outstanding gas mileage. Regular maintenance.
I used to be a Honda and Toyota person but have switched over. Hyundai's have more value for the money and drive better. My son has a 10 year Elantra with stellar quality. My two other children have Elantra's from 2023 and 2024. I just traded in my awful quality 2020 Lemon 4Runner for a Telluride.
I wish Scotty would make a comprehensive review of all the Toyota recalls and issues over the past 15-20 years. But he’ll never. He’s too much of a Toyota fan boy.😂
You can lookup Toyota recalls yourself. Just search Toyota recalls.
Hyundai is great as long as you replace the engine every 70k miles.
And the transmission
Have 2023 Kia Telluride and it's been great! I don't experience any high motor oil consumption with its GDI engine.
I drive a 2006 Sonata bought new, runs gr8 @ 18 years with 80,000 miles. Routine self maintenance (fluids, belts, filters, transmission, brakes etc etc) I think a lot of trouble stems from poor maintenance by sloppy techs & owners who just don't service their vehicles until it fails.
You just now put enough miles on it. How long before tranny goes?
I got to admit, Hyundai makes nice looking car but lol, Id never buy one
Beauty is only fender deep, junk is to the frame

Just seen a TikTok for a 2024 Santa Fe. The box style SUV. Is having transmission problems already!!! CRAZYYYYY
My friend’s 2 year old Sorrento has been parked in the delearship since December. No eta when it’s gonna be fixed. He owned an older Sorrento and still bought a newer one. I told him before to switch to Honda or Toyota. He didn’t listen.
That's why I stick with Toyota and Honda.
2011 Toyota Sienna - 147K running like new.
2007 Honda Civic - 144K running like new.
When I decide to get another one will again be either one or both brands again.
U would buy a new Honda 😬
That's great, I have an 06 Highlander with no issues either. But not everyone wants to drive dinosaurs. My wife leases a new Sportage, it's way nicer and way cheaper than a comparable RAV4 and we're going to return it before any long term issues crop up.
Scotty? Question what happend to your second channel you made a couple years ago? It was sort-of a big thing and you sayed nothing about it again? Keep up the great work.
bought a brand new 2017 Tucson with turbo engine, did all the maintenance and had a blown engine and damaged transmission at 135,000 miles, it was my first and last Hyundai ever.
I have a 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid SE with 137000 miles. Drives very smooth and quiet. Gives me 620+ miles range per tank. I prefer its ride to my wife’s RX350. I always use premium gas. Change oil every 3k miles. I use cataClean and Fuel system cleaner before every oil change and have recently treated it with GDI valve cleaner from Lucas products.
My 2010 Elantra touring has the paint peeling issue it's red the transmission occasionally hesitates between first and 2nd has 65k miles
So NOW , isn’t a hundred thousand mile bumper to bumper worth it ?
It's a lifetime warranty so yes, worth it
