Scumbaggery. I like that one.
If I had a car and its in the winter with all the fluids like gas and oil etc frozen, what if I put the car inside of a big bag and fill it with warm air?
GOOD GOD LEARN TO PRONOUNCE HYUNDAI. It’s either “Hayun-die” in the original Korean or “HONdie” like the official US commercials
Scotty, it's pronounced HUN DAY.
Did the oil cleaner solve the noise?
Sotty's correct. It is a luxury car. I sold my house and now live in my Azero full time. It's a little cramped when I invite guests over, but is basically OK.
I hope you're joking 😂
You know Scotty is an honest mechanic when he has always put down Hyundai for legit reasons, but when he finds one that is a decent buy and in good condition, doesn't hesitate to reverse course and admit "THIS particular model in THIS condition" is a good buy. Scotty is not an absolutist who lets personal preference interfere with fact.
Well calling anyone who doesn't care about reliability or who likes something he doesn't stupid isn't very mature or reasonable.
He does the same with Toyotas that are not reliable like when he just said us don’t get any of those AZ engines from 2007~2009 because they consume more oil than a rotative
That's why we love him
When Scotty does this people blame him for changing his opinion, they're too lazy to watch the actual video
Even the bad companies do something right from time to time. Hyundai is pretty good these days, but in the 90s they were absolute garbage. I had a 97 tiburon that ran for 340,000 miles with no major repairs needed.
I love my '15 Azera. Got it from Carvana after my Accord was totaled. No major issues, over 116K on it now. I change the oil and transmission fluid and run CRC GDI cleaner every few months. The base model has heated/cooled front seats, heated rear seats, HD Audio, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and Infinity speakers.
I just bought my first car tonight at CarMaxx 2015 Azera and im completely blown away . LOVE IT!!!!!!
I HAVE a 2009 Hyundai Elantra and it runs fine! It has just over 300,000 on it! IT'S been well used and abused! I know! Got it NEW!
did you do a transmission fluid change or flush?
@@Dave-jv3th I have a Hyundai Accent with 200k miles. It has never had a transmission fluid flushed. Other than regular maintenance. I was surprised to say the least that it’s still going
@@IRLSuperb Nice. I'm at 130k miles with my Elantra. Hyundai dealer near me advised not to do transmission fluid change if I have no record of changing it in the past. I'd be very happy if I can drive it to 200k miles!
Been a Hyundai mechanic for 12 years. The Azera would be my top pick for Hyundai vehicles. Hardly see any trouble out of them. The ones that make the clattering on start up are usually driven lightly by little old ladies or by people who don’t change the oil enough. It’s also a good idea to keep a good battery in the vehicle. If voltage drops below 11 volts the tcm will have to relearn the variables and this can lead to premature transmission failure.
whats your opinion on 2016 Genesis Coupe's if you dont mind me asking?
but they discontinuted azera in north america
It's one of those models people overlooked and discontinued just like the Toyota Avalon. Those actually have a very good value.
A transmission failure should not be caused or even aggravated by a battery getting old Batteries get old all the time and you don't want that to destroy your car.
@@jlnewcity4584 I have a 2015 one and it great so far. Common problems are creaking passenger A pillar due to crappy welds, the clear coats peeling on the plastic bumpers (Well majority are on the Casablanca White paint), sometimes there is a shift lockout when you are going WOT. I haven't heard of any major problems on the 3.8L V6 except some owners are stupid and beat on it when the oil is low. I own 2 so far, the auto and the manual. I would go for the manual R-Spec trim if you could find one. It has special features you can't find on other trims such as the nicer bolster seats.
I was lucky to buy 2016 hyundai azera with 57k miles on it for $8000. I currently have 122k miles on it, no problem made sure to service on time. I love it so much and it grabs a lot of attention, first car I saw that has all passenger seat heated, android auto, Infiniti speakers
Yeah, don't let wacky wavy arms Scotty steer anybody away from Hyundai or Kia. My 3 year old Hyundai has been great, and I'm looking forward to buying another one. Maybe I'll get a Ionic 5.
@@Sandto33 I mean. There are some solid ones and you could definitely do worse. But I know a hand full of people right now fighting them over engine trouble. and others with alternators or ac compressors failing relatively early that you don’t quite see with Toyota
You definitely lucked out they are asking like 20k for them now
@@thetechlibrarian the dealership tried to buy it multiple times but I just couldn't find any car that can compare to it for now so I turned down their offers.
@@rikcyflex es350 is probably the closest to it.
I have a 2012 Hyundai Azera that I bought new. It has been a great car with no issues. The battery tested weak after about 8 years, so I had it replaced. It's really comfortable for long road trips.
I have a 2009 Hyundai Sonata, not one problem ever with that car, it's a solid build and a great value. Mechanic recently offered me $12,000 for it. I paid $22,000 for it 12 years ago.
V6?
@SCMongooseT4R 12k prob to set it on fire
@SCMongooseT4R true. blue book price on those are garbage comparing to Toyota or Honda
I rented one of those a number of years ago and was impressed. They eat highway miles effortlessly. It would kick down two gears for passing and really take off if you needed to.
The classic lie of renting a Hyundai,the favorite from paid trolls
@@adl6907 You're saying that Hyundai is paying people money to post TH-cam comments about fictitious rental experiences? Where'd you hear about that? That's bonkers if it's true.
I've had a 2015 Azera for six years. Great car, no problems; not even the couple of common ones mentioned in this video. Just regular maintenance. Oil changes, battery, tires. Too bad Hyundai discontinued this model in North America.
Same Year 2015 Azera Love it
Same with the genesis coupe they stopped making them in 2016 😔 love the genesis coupes
@@fatdomgomiello720 why should they make that coupe? That car never looked luxury lol. Compare that car to the new Genesis models and you will understand what I’m talking about. They will definitely release a coupe but may cost like 60k easily . Them new Genesis cars ain’t cheap anymore.
L
Crazy how life is. I just hung out with one of my friends. Didn't realize this was his car until now. When I was in his car I was just thinking to myself this is a really solid little luxury car.
This car is a great buy. I'm glad I got mine. There are plenty of low mileage ones out there and you'll pay almost nothing for them.
@@utterbullspit are elantra’s reliable ?
@@2kolbe010 idk about those, their lower line models aren't made with the best of materials.
They are great cars. I have 2008 Hyundai Azera and I have over 244,000 miles on it. Still drives like a dream.
I have 2007 Azera with 145K miles. No major problems. Better than any American made car I've ever had.
Wow that’s awesome!
@@rickyccayenne4790 I had a 2007 that got rear ended at 127k and found a 2009 a week later with 67k for 10 grand. Still driving it and I'm only at 97k now.
Got a 13" Hyundai elantra gt for 6k 2 years ago, I read the reviews and was super nervous cuz I seen the unreliability and realized the OG model and Gt had different engines in em and this one definitely gets the job done 149k miles and stills runs good might last another 50k as long as I keep it up
What would you buy next?
@@saxambirsingh959 I'm planning getting a truck, either a Toyota or Ford model. And in a few cases Chevy models, but gonna do a ton research before
@@josheeyzgaming3662 sounds good. I am in Automotive industry. For reliability best is Toyota hands down. Really depends on what you will he using the truck for
My oldest daughter had a 2001 Hyundai Accent. It had about 80,000 miles on it when I bought it, and the previous owner had put a new timing belt on it. I think that he bought it cheap because the belt had broken. I had problems with the vapor system, which were typical for that era. The main part was a clogged vapor system air filter, and the charcoal canister was letting charcoal into the system. I got everything repaired. Then at about 130,000 miles, the thrust washer in the overdrive gear cluster shredded. This was a problem in these older transmissions. I knew that these metal shavings had also damaged other parts of the transmission, however I purchased a new bearing and added a thrust washer that I bought from Whatever It Takes transmission parts. It is not that difficult to install as the overdrive is bolted to the outside of the transmission case. It started going bad again at about 160,000 miles, so I junked it. Paid $2,200 for it and got 80,000 miles out of it. I'm happy with the deal. My other daughter bought a 2003 Hyundai Sonata with a V6. I had to remove the intake plenum to replace the spark plugs, and it was a real pain to replace the alternator, but I managed. The main reason why we sold it was frame rust. The car was from Buffalo NY, and the car had been recalled for frame rust. The "repair" was to drill some holes in the bottom of the frame, and spray some sort of bees wax on it. There was a large rust hole in the frame, which I had a metal patch welded on, but I still didn't trust it. It ran great, but we sold it anyway. I'm from San Diego, and I just didn't think to closely inspect it for rust when we bought it. There were plenty of cars like it in junk yards with perfect frames, but I didn't feel up to changing it. It was a comfortable car, with good power, and my daughter found that it was easy to drive. I feel that I've had a fairly good experience with Hyundai.
You can't change a frame on a unibody. You'd basically be rebuilding the car onto another unibody..I got my ex a 97 Saturn SL 5spd , for 750 in 07. With 155k She got another 90k out of it with almost no problems. The only reason she didn't get more out of it was, it was totaled
@@richsweeney1115 What I was talking about was the front sub-frame, or engine cradle. The engine, transaxle and front suspension are bolted to it, then it is bolted to the body of the car. The Saturn sound like it was a great deal.
I love seeing the positively on the Azera I bought one in August not knowing much or even hearing about an Azera and it's nice to see a video like this! I love my 2017 Azera thank you Scotty!
I inherited a 2008 Accent @30K miles and to be honest, I've had one problem when it reached 60K (passenger side electronic window button wouldn't connect; replaced it myself). I'm at 69K and I religiously change my full synthetic oil. I don't drive like a lunatic and I baby that automatic transmission, advice I took from Scotty. I'm saving a ton of money while all my neighbors are blowing theirs on Lamborgini Uruses, Audis, Hellcats, etc. If they think i'm poor, no problem LOL
Man you must live in one heck of a neighborhood
Happy new year scotty. Thank you for everything!!
Happy New Year!
I just bought one of these from Carvana about a year ago. I still get excited driving this car, I swear it puts a smile on your face. Just a fun luxurious car. So far no problems to report. Im glad someone finally did a thorough video on one of these. They really are a diamond in the rough.
Next video: here’s why I think Daryl White is wrong
Run a GDI cleaner for the intake it will help
Daryl White: Just started googling GDI engine problems… haha
@@militaryjunkie6207 here’s one “if you buy a Hyundai you’re stupid” 🤣
Great information Always keep putting out your videos Scotty very helpful Blessed to Have you
Can't believe that Azera actually came into the America. My parents drove it in my home country and they loved it. It's a great car.... but just make sure to take some time like 1 minutes or so for engine warmup. You know, the engine is not as durable as that of Toyota or Honda.
Next video: here’s why Azera should leave America
@@militaryjunkie6207 it's been out of America for a few years lol
@@danthompson5797 yes you he to warm up modern engines, especially the turbocharged engines
@@danthompson5797 ohh I see
“warming up” a modern engine isnt needed. what is HELPFUL is letting it idle for 30 sec on cold startup to let the oil circulate properly and warm up slightly so it has the proper flow for VVT-I systems. but after about 5 sec on a cold start you should be ok to drive it without really shortening its lifespan much it just helps to have the oil pressure built up and have the oil on its way to having the right flow as it warms up
My dad has been driving his for about 15 years and I have a feeling he won't be replacing it, probably ever. These things in South America, Brazil more specifically, are pretty serious luxury vehicles.
I have a 2015 Azera with the exact same exterior and interior color scheme. Extremely comfortable car and lots of room in the front and rear. I bought it with 56000 miles still under warranty so I was able to have the timing chain and ac compressor replaced. The ax compressor is a fail point on these cars but once I had those issues addressed it’s been a fantastic car. I just passed it on to my daughter and it has 100k on it still no problems. Do your your Regular maintenance and this car will treat you right. The only issue I had is that the v6 is still slow mainly because the car is heavy and the cornering is not that great. But for a luxury car it does what it is supposed to do.
Hyundai sonota are great cars. I had 2006. We got it with 22,000 miles on it I drove it to 343,000 miles, until someone ran in to it and totaled it. I'm a mechanic also. I got a 2013 sonata 217,000. We brought it with 37,000. I changed the coil packs plugs rotors, brakes calipers new battery. The sonota is one of the best cars on the market.
Did your '13 Sonata have the original engine?
Does the 13 have the OG engine?

" The scumbaggery of a company"........ Blatant honesty right there!! Love your content, Scotty !!
That's what made the video for me toо that scumbagery!🤩😃
I'm going to start using that word
It comes down to individual dealers. I've read horror stories about Kia, Hyundai, US built cars, and then I've read stories that went the way they should have about the same companies.
Had a Telluride for 3 years. KIA (and multiple dealers at that) tried to sleaze their way out of every warranty repair. I had 3 items that were waiting for parts for over a year (or so they said). Screw KIA, that was the first and last KIA I will ever buy. There is once again to Lexus SUVs in our garage.
Kevin Lee sorry you had to deal with that.
Loving the content Scotty.
thank you!
@@scottykilmer
You’re welcome man
@@scottykilmer of course Scotty!
Happy New Year from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Scotty!
Happy New Year!
Azera is so underrated. The Hyundai I see myself in.
Owned this for a year in 2017... V6 3.0l... Enjoyable drive and comfortable seats... AC wasn't good. Good fuel mileage.
I currently own one and I can attest to the ac not being too good.
I was driving like a maniac. There’s no arguing that!
One of my best friends traded his v6 mustang for this, and I gotta say, I don’t think this vehicle compromised on ANYTHING for the upgrade. Even the performance didn’t feel sluggish, despite the listed Wikipedia time being ~7 seconds. If it were lightened a tad, it would probably be a better pick than the Elantra N
GREAT video Scotty... It's videos like these why I have been a subscriber for years. You maintain VERY high quality in your videos....SOOOOOO useful 😊👍
As usual he's about 7-8 years late, but Scotty's warming up to Hyundai/Kia cars.
I still will never trust them, too many horror stories
@@Brandon-yq1tm people are irresponsible.
@@TheEletronicFunky People aren't the problem, the issues with their engines amd transmissions being crap for decades with shoddy warranties that doesn't cover many things is the problem
I’ll just keep avoiding them like I have been.
@@Brandon-yq1tm Transmissions are pretty decent, it's mostly the engines that are the issue. Scotty's said himself that he's never seen the 6 or 8 speed transmissions go bad
Love these Azeras. Loaded with features, roomy, and plenty of power. It’s like a Genesis without spending Genesis $
The coupler or steering column bushing is a $1.35 part. Mine failed on my 2011 Sonata. The dealer wanted $250 to fix. My local Napa shop did it for $200. I killed them so bad on Twitter, they finally relented and refunded anyone that paid to get it fixed. There were like 14 different recalls on that car. The arm on the starter failed, too. There’s a reason why they were so much less than an Altima. But when it ran, it ran great.
Merry Christmas and happy new year Scotty!!!!!!
Happy New Year!
Excellent video Scotty. Love your videos. I have a 2006 Hyundai and she is super reliable and fast. Shifts perfect too.💪😎
Have a 2013 Elantra, bought new, made in Korea. Least trouble of any car I've owned. That steering coupling was the only issue so far. The front brakes wear much quicker than rear, but pads were easy to replace.
I have a 2013 Elantra, bought new, over 150k miles and always kept up with the maintenance schedule. The only issues I ever had with it were the steering coupling and the neutral safety switch (there was a TSB on this one). Other than that, it's been the most reliable car I've ever owned. I've heard mixed reliability reviews on this model. Perhaps it depends on where they're assembled. Mine was assembled in the US.
Scotty, every video of yours that I watch I make small notes to myself. I now have a long list of do’s and dont’s for the three cars that I take care of.
Love the tools. Do you have a link to the battery tester used in this video?
So great full for all the knowledge and advice, truly a master at your craft Scotty 👍🏼
Recently got an 07 Azera, it's like a Cadillac. Only 76k on it, and the old couple who owned it kept it garaged and well maintained. Next video Scotty will have bought a Lexus with only 45k miles on it for only 800 bucks.
My 03 Cadillac CTS is rear wheel drive. Yours is more like a Chevy Malibu not a Cadillac. Yours is front wheel drive.
@@erniecarrasco9107 Ah but the Azera puts out 264hp, (CTS 220) you don't really notice that very much. The Malibu despite having a 3.9lV6 at best it only ranged from 144-240, so almost but not quite. The Azera has a much better interior than a Malibu as well esp if you have the limited.
@@commycasty it's front wheel drive bruh. Boring! I can spin my rear tires on my CTS manual transmission. Yours blows and looks ugly. Front wheel drive. Lolololololol no one cares about a front wheel drive car.
@@erniecarrasco9107 You can spin your tire's!? OMG I bet you have an excellent NFL cable package too. As far as 'looks' go, that's your opinion, and I don't spin my tires for the same reason I don't jump out of perfectly good airplanes. Enjoy your slower Cadillac and I'll enjoy my faster Azera and it's better warranty, less expensive maintenance costs, and better gas mileage. Especially the tires since I don't abuse them. Look at the specs if you want, facts don't care about your opinion.
@@commycasty I'm a Cadillac mechanic. If you think 220 hp is what my old Cadi does you're sadly mistaken. I have it tuned better than new and get better gas mileage than yours now. I added custom mods and it has more horse power than 260 now easily. I like guys like you at my dealership. (Warranties and expensive maintenance) You guys are good custies lolololololol I'm glad I don't worry about parts or warranties. When you have a dealership, your team keeps your Cadillac running like new. Plus I love to do all the maintenance myself really. I know my car inside out because I've torn it down and rebuilt it all the way. Noob. Oh yeah. Spinning rear tires is fun. Especially in the rain. My sons were enjoying it. Lol. It doesn't do much damage. You wouldn't know. Lol
Your videos are like my daily news paper! I love it
i bought my 2012 Titan with 189K, swapped out my plugs/coils and some other stuff from my previous '07 Titan that was "totaled", replaced suspension parts and brakes all around, still runs like a champ. All i ever use is Mobil 1 and change it once a year (10k - 12k a year).
Love my 2014 Sonata. Best car I’ve ever owned. Coupler did go bad….didn’t get it replaced in a shop! 😉 However, you lost me at your disdain for Interstate Batteries! Grew up on them. Dad worked for them. Only battery I put in my car is an Interstate Battery. Lasts me 5-7 years every time.
Really ..... 7 years ?????
Everything Scotty said about Genesis came true and the engine fell apart 5k after warranty expired (I had extended warranty).....and my Mitsubishi transmission giving up after 70k .......both now sold and I have two Toyotas....Thank You.
Hyundai/Genesis cars have a 10 year hundred thousand mile warranty how much did you drive it?
@@wesidk5662 if you buy used it is only 60k warranty. (Unless certified)
The 100k is for original owners only
@@mrbfox1775 bought new Genesis (now G80)...full warranty plus extended bumper to bumper warranty up to 160k km....engine blew a rod at 105k km .......i had to goggle stuff for the dealer to fix cause it was so "new"...worst experience ever dealing with a dealer who quotes you a new engine BEFORE finding out I have full warranty, "oh, warranty? Oh yeah we can fix that, naaaaa replacing a blown engine is for paying customers" .......mistu transmission kept overheating in summer so I had to stop every 20 km to cool down the thing......SCOTTY IS GOD, no one is above scotty.
@@marekkurwa more like old genesis.
@@bradleyscarreviews Har Har....you funny....are you 12? Everything is new when it comes out....then becomes old DUE TO ENTROPY....holy crap how stupid is this chat
recently just sold my '14 Elantra SE . Bought it in 2017 w/77,000 miles on it, it had 130,000 miles when I sold it. During the nearly 4 years I had it the only maintenance other than oil change and brakes was a throttle body cleaning. I was pleasantly surprised with how good my Hyundai held up during the time I had it 👍🏼....side note, I sold it for a '06 F-150 5.4 Trition and in less than a month after purchasing it I'm sending it in the shop for the infamous tapping sound coming from the engine and a check engine light that after my mechanic scanned it said " cross your fingers 🤞🏼& pray it's not the cam phasers" needless to say I'm about to spend more $ on this repair in the 1st month of owning this truck than I spent the entire 4 years of owning my Elantra...Food for thought folks!
My brother has 2014 its a great car super comfortable ambient lighting heated and cooled seats it has 150k miles and gets good mileage still going strong the only problem is finding oem parts for it the cheap parts suck for this car
As soon as Scotty starts driving you can watch the MPG gauge go down🤣
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Old guy still has a heavy foot 😅
@@icosthop9998 Back in the day,(70's) I was 1 speeding ticket away from losing my license , in the state I lived in @ the time. Since middle age showed up, I drive 5 mph over the limit. 😲
running a 2014 Hyundai i40 for 4 years now, never had any issues with it, great brand with great warranty too.
Happy new year scotty..
Just to reiterate the quality of the Azeri, my son is still driving my old 2006 Azeri and it has 398,000 kms (we’re Canadian). Other than regular synthetic oil changes he has only had to change the brakes and battery and it runs great. Well worth a look if you are looking for a great car.
In Saudi Arabia , we love this car you can see them every were , I remember back in 2012 when it was new , it really beautiful
At that time when 2010 sonata and the azera came out i was in love , but they did have A/C problems and engine failure
whats the everywhere car trend now in KSA?
اخخخ ٢٠١٢ على وقتها كانت سابقه زمانها 😔😔
This car is really good looking especially for a model that came out in like 2012
Scotty!! I enjoy your videos sir!
I have a 2022 kia k5. The car was in a front end fender bender, the right front wheel got somewhat scratched up and got fixed. The right front wheel was not balanced correctly and i went to get it rebalanced. My steering wheel is still shaking between 60-70 mph. What is going on?
I’ve got a 2012 Elantra with over 130k and she still runs beautifully even after an accident or two ;)
i have a Hyundai accent 2001 gl 344,368 miles and it still runs with no problems drives perfectly fine and the engine is quiet and it cost me 1200$ i bought four years ago
s aay what! you've must've replaced many parts.
My dad had a 1996 of the same car with a manual tranny, he drove it from 120k to 240k and he gave it to my grandfather who drove it to 325k before it died
@@rocknrollermann i know its hard to believe but no everything is from the factory lol from what the previous owner told me and even i will ever need to replace something its going to cost pennies because of its low resale value so its in a way a perfect car
I've had my 2013 Hyundai Sonata for over 9 years now. It has about 125k miles on it at the moment. One of the only major issues I've had with it was the engine seized on me in July. Luckily the dealership put in a new engine under warranty. The other issue was the ESC light came on.
To be fair, that's a big @#$&'n issue.
@@botch13 I just said it was a major issue
Although under warranty, it is indeed a major problem, which can be fatal if it happend when you drive it on highway.
How often did you change the oil?
@@austing4321 every 5k
Just bought a 2013 Azera with 64k in August of 2023. Engine and trans run smooth. Not a scratch on the car. But my steering wheel bushing just went so it clunks when it goes back and forth.and it needs front struts. Paid 12,850 for mine
I own a 2015 Azera, Base Model, and love it. Gets well over 30 MPG on the highway and is very comfortable. Sorry they are no longer sold in the states. Bought mine used with 48k on it and now have about 93k miles on it. I get regular oil changed. It has the clatter on cold starts. And, had a bad battery once that have all sorts of issues. Great car and a great video by Scotty.
I own a 2014 hyundai sonata gls and so far all excellent. Well maintained and smooth after 140k miles in it. So yes hyundai elantra and sonata from 2013+ are really reliable.
You have no miles...I've seen a lot of other ppl have issues
That did maintain them
@@richsweeney1115 I had one until last year Sonata 2014 gls ,1 litre oil every 3000 km., no burning oil ,no smoke nothing,just disappeared every time. And before than last year,was a great car with no issues about engine 100000 km in 4 years and half. After I figured about oil issues also I found some noise engine and I decided to trade before than any major problems coming in..with 168000 km in dashboard. I was so disappointed ,cause I really like that car . And now …back to Toyota. Boring cars but very reliable
I appreciate your honesty, Scotty. We've heard you knock Hyundai for years but you always tell it like it is. To hear you talk good things when you see them just further shows that it isn't bias but plain truth when you speak good or bad.
Cars from a country that eat dogs,no
Thank you for the video brother!
Currently watching this while on my grandmas phone bc im stuck in a community mental health building and i dont have my phone scotty your videos always keep me busy
take care!
Ironically, Interstate battery is my favorite battery brand. I got the best luck with Interstate; their batteries always lasted until the end of their rated warranty. All the repair shops I've been to in the NYC/Long Island only carry Insterstate.
Yes I've also had good luck with them. They used to ranked high with consumer reports but that was several years back.
I watched a product test video and Wal-Mart battery and interstate are made by the same company
Got a 2017 Elantra back in February before the market went nuts for 12.5k with only 27k miles... put about 10k miles on it so far and I love it.
my ex wife had an pre-facelift Elantra & that thing was the best handling FWD I've ever driven. The 2.0 4 had great torque, & you could feel the road as well as in a bimmer. the 6sp shiftable auto was a blast, the stereo was above average & the thing could hit 120 (governed top speed)in 4th gear. prolly the only thing I miss from that marriage 😂
I can't find an honest guy like you.
I am a fan of hyundai. Just recently bought 2021 sonata n line. I guess at the end it's about how you maintain them
Nop,I did everything was needed to do for my sonata 2014 ,spark plugs,oil transmission changed,engine oil every 6000 km synthetic ,filter fro dealer,coolant change everything done according with Hyundai schedule. Last year in October I changed the oil and surprise…half from the oil was disappeared,no leaking no smoking but I have some noise from the engine,not every time but was there. I check with my mechanic,he couldn’t find from where came that noise. Was a great car,I bought use with 64000km ,I trade at 169000 km . They are great those sonatas but I guess only for 200000 km ,after that… time to look for another car . They are cheap cars,no value for resale and if you have a problem and warranty is expired ,good luck with it.
@Alfred Weber They’re not cheap it’s true,buying new are the same price like another brands but after 100000km ,are cheap compared with another brands . My sonata 2014 was 34000 cad brand new at dealer + tax ,I bought it for 16000 cad with 64000 km just after 2 years (2016) from dealer ,Gls model fully equipped . Anyway I wish you Good luck if you will buying one and fee trouble!!
Still have my ‘06 Hyundai, no problems at all with 150k+ miles, was always curious about why you hated Hyundai
Hi, Scotty!
Happy new year! 🎈🎆
Happy New Year!
i traded my full-sized truck bc filling it up weekly with gas wasnt working out financially and I was in the market for a new fuel efficient sedan... the cheapest available one was a base Hyundai accent, when i got to the dealership it was sold that morning.... but i ended up trading my truck for a 2022 Hyundai elantra limited instead (thats all they had left)... and love the car... more so loving the MPGs!
My Sonata was a great car at that mileage too. Things went downhill after it hit 100k. For 14k, I would have bought an older Avalon.
What year? It's really only the last two gens that Hyundai have really improved reliability.
@@Shazam999 2014. Bought it with 70k. Money pit after 100k miles.
Sad, but that's your average Hyundai quality
Should I risk it with a 2013 Sonata GLS for 6500 CAN $ with 134 000km / 83 000 miles ? I’m coming from a 2003 Honda Civic with no problems other than a blown AC compressor so no AC but it runs like a charm
@@minhha2452 no, some of those sonatas start breaking down at 60-100k
The Hyundai Azera is probably one of the last good Hyundai's that got discontinued. The 3.8L and the 3.3L GDI Lamda engines are excellent engines. They don't have the notorious problem found in the recalled Theta II engine. The Azera was the only sedan built in Korea but it got discontinued after Hyundai launched the Genesis brand.
Just not in america it still exists doesn’t it?
The i30n is a good fun car
@@dylansteffen4726 yeah, they still selling the 2021 models here in middle east solid reliable vehicles
@@paraparadancing nice where ya from man?
@@dylansteffen4726 saudi arabia
Owned 4 Hyundais over my lifetime, never had a major issue with them. Just bought my latest one a 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid
That laughter @2:21 sec, n the horse on the side of the screen 😂😂😂😂
Scotty, Hyundai and KIA stopped all engineering development of future internal combustion engines this week.
All ICE engineers are to slide into electrification development. You no doubt know this already, it would make a good video in Scotty style!!
@@captinbeyond I guess I ll be holding onto my gas burners for a long time ..
I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonota and love it. Bought it new in 2015 and have only put regular maintenance parts on it since. Still looks and runs like new. Quiet, reliable, economical, and stylish, what more could you possibly ask from any car?
I have a 16 Sonata, bought as a demo with 7000 km on it, or around 4500 miles. Oil changes, brakes and tires. That's it. No parts failures, not a single check engine light. Now has 63,000 km or just over 40,000 miles. Best car I've ever owned.
@@danielhartin7680 that’s a pretty young car these days
@@tedscheckler1 Yes, but I've also worked in car rentals for 20 years and I can tell you domestics are far more buggy than most imports, including Hyundai and Kia. Check engine lights, sensors failing, electrical problems.....and we're talking brand new vehicles here. Almost an entire fleet of Ford Escapes with a software problem, draing the batteries. And we're talking the middle if the summer. Many Chrysler 200's leaving customers stranded because the computer is failing to recognize the key fob. GM? The king of check engine lights. In my two decades of experience there's no comparison between domestics and foreign, including Hyundai.
@@danielhartin7680 when did I compare against domestics? I’m saying that 40K isn’t a lot of miles when talking long term. That’s all. You made the comparison, I didn’t say anything about Ford or Chrysler or any of that. I’ve got no beef with Hyundai or Kia or anything, just that 40K is short term regardless of the brand. Hope you continue to enjoy your Hyundai. I’m looking at one myself.
@@danielhartin7680 I have a 2007 Sonata in which I bought new. It just hit 120,000 miles, never any major problems. The only things I’ve had to replace were cosmetic, two door handles, and two sun visors. The visors quit working, but they were on recall anyway. I recently replaced the alternator and thermostat(items that normally need replaced due to age of car). Overall, under the hood has been immaculate and the car still drives like it’s new.
So this looks like like my car which in the U.K. is called the Hyundai i40. My 1.7 tdi has done 210k miles and still returns 45 mpg. It works every day as a taxi and is frankly great and I’d by another in a heart beat
Scotty... where is the link for the "Thinktool Battery Tester" along with the required module that connects on the back with the battery attachment clips ???
I purchased one with 34k on it that had the start up rattle. A few months into owning it the ac compressor crapped out. They're nice vehicles but the engines are garbage. All hyundai gdi engines are garbage except the 3.8 in the genesis sedans. Currently installing a used engine in an Azera because it developed rod knock at 135k. Got a 15 kia sorento that I'm putting a used 3.3 in because it set cam/crank correlation codes and all the central ports of the vct solenoids were clogged with plastic/metal debris from the chain rattle.
Hyundai and kia engines cant handle a high rpm acceleration the cranck bearing will come out fast
I had an XG350 similar to this model. Once it hit 85,000 miles, it started to have electrical problems.
I would drive it and all of a sudden, the engine would stall. You then loose the brakes and power steering. My mechanic could never really figure out what the problem was. I had to junk it. But it had a nice interior.
Probably the inhibitor switch that goes on top of the transmission.
My 2014 Accent 143k miles sat for a month with old oil. R’vd it up at cold start and dang I though I blew a rod. Consistent loud tap noise. Changed the oil to level. Bang warm up and good as before no crazy noises!
Purchased a used 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe XL (7-passenger) with this same 3.3L GDI (as opposed to the much more problematic 2.4L in the 5-passenger Santa Fe Sport) and so far, at 143,000 km (89,000 mi) it’s run perfectly! It’s proven to be an incredibly comfortable ride with surprisingly good towing for an SUV. Recently replaced the factory stereo with a touchscreen one with all the smartphone integration, navigation, etc. and it’s a fantastic modern, comfortable, and versatile SUV, that we got at a really good price!
Stay away from the 2.4L V4 Santa Fe Sports, but these 3.3L V6’s in the longer Santa Fe’s seem to make a great car!
Compare the comments :" Not really, they still do fine print stuff where you have to pay out of pocket for certain things and also some people have had 2 engines or transmissions in a row go bad and they wouldn't cover that"... Propaganda from paid trolls vs ,people that bought one of those cars
I’ve owned a 2016 Azera since new and I cannot complain! This car is a best kept secret! Lots of power and lots of amenities!!! I’m hoping to keep it for many years to come. Synthetic oil every 5000 miles
I’m subscribed to a car TH-camr that does a combination of project content and new car reviews, including a detailed look at the underside on a lift. The Hyundai’s and Kia’s look extremely well made with beefy, quality suspensions and good designs. It has taken years for Hyundai to overcome its early reputation of poor quality, but an honest assessment of the current output is impressive.
What TH-cam is that
Aren't kias and Hyundais catching fire?
@@FitnessGuru91 yes , and the Tesla folks always will talk about that.
Their way of trying to convince people that ICE's catch fires just like the EVs .
Thank you Scotty! Ive been thinking of the Azera, My 2006 Sonata 3.3 v6 same engine family has 237k mi and has never skipped a beat same transmission also, tbh any modern drivetrain can last even longer "if " haha "Proper Maintenance"
Over here we have the Hyundai Grand Starex which is an 11 seater MPV and runs on 4 cylinder Turbo Diesel engine. I can say its one of our favourite family van we had. Not a single problem after 5 years of owning except the diesel tank is just contaminated with dirty Diesel cause we don't get Euro 4 standards back then so it jams the fuel pump. Other than that its a lovely thing just a little cheapo on the interior bits.
Our (walmart) battery went dead at 2 years old. Took it out of the car and returned it to walmart. they gave me a new battery without even checking the one I brought in.
So, Scotty has found out that Hyundais aren't all that bad but now if he can just learn how to pronounce it. Hyundai rhymes with Sunday.
So..its not ..
YUN DIE ??
lol
Right! I was questioning if I was saying them wrong the whole time lol
Interesting enough it's actually pronounced differently depending on which country. There's actually a video that goes over the pronunciation of Hyundai from different countries lol. I'm an American Korean and my parents pronounce it like Hyun-dae.. so who knows. Tomatoes toMAHtoes
Scotty must be just the American dealerships in Australia Hyundai and Kia have a very good name and are extremely popular brand
which battery brand do you recommend?
Scotty is a living paradox. In one video he is taking a full-on shameless dump on a car company. Then a few days later he's singing their praises. Still love you and your Celica/Vibe/ES Scotty!
I mean I think he is being fair saying there are good models of Hyundai maybe not as good as a Toyota so expect that but also cheap and can be a decent deal if your not paying Toyota money for them. There’s even decent Nissans like some of there trucks.even some known crappy cars can have a few that end up fairly trouble free and some reliable cars have some that have problems if that makes sense.
...welcome to politics and the entertainment industry...
But I just got done watching a video saying the only 3 cars you should buy are Toyota, Honda and Mazda
Yeah, I'm not sure either.
I'm sure he didn't mean all Mazdas. Definitely not the rotary engine ones!!!
@@masontee8335 Mazda is garbage.
I have a 2005 Hyundai Elantra with 100,000 miles. I have done the routine scheduled maintenance. Not one thing has ever needed to be fixed.
The 2015-2016 genesis 3.8 and 5.0 was a great car, but the Hyundai Equus was just terrible. I owned both and even with proper maintenance, the Equus just kept having problems, such as the air suspension hoses busted after just 70,000 miles so I just put coil overs in. Mine only had 77,000 miles before I sold it. Ended up only getting only $10k for trading it in for a nicer BMW 7 series 2014. The Genesis however was a solid running car.
My friend died in an 00's Elantra and the car should've saved her. I'll forever tell Hyundai/Kia to emphatically, suck it.
What makes you think the car should have saved her ? Maybe being a better driver/observer
Sorry to hear
They are very light cars especially on highways u feel thats waving from the roads
Why you think it's Hyundai's fault? It's a 2000s car! Even Toyota cars got poor rating at crash tests back then. And if the accident was recently, that means the car was already old, which compromises the resistance of the structure.
But in contrast, one of my sister had an accident in her 2017 Elantra, driving at around 70mph, and you know what? She came completely uninjured. The car proved to be *VERY* safe.
I drove a 2019 rental Elantra, did not like driving that on windy days
I have a 2014 one that I bought in 2019 put 40k miles on it. Its been an awesome vehicle a lot of highway driving in Texas. V6 is pretty fun with it.
One of your best review of a nice car!
Scotty,
Well, you were right about my 2015 Hyundai Sonata. It has 78,500 miles and the rod bearing failed!!
Fortunately it’s covered by the 120,000 mile/10 year drive train coverage that will pay for the repairs and provide $40/day for a rental.
Problem is, I’ll have a new engine in a car with a transmission with 78500 miles.
I’m thinking of selling when fixed.
What are your thoughts??
The life of the engine in these cars is from 80 to 100 k in miles ,they are not built for long travel ,all korean cars are cost effective in daily heavy traffic .it depends on your day travel .
get rid of it, get a toyota
My 2013 Sonata engine seized up a few years ago at about the same mileage.
SEEELLLLLLLL!!!!!!
My Sonata was at 165k when I sold it. Original transmission. They're solidly built transmissions... one of the few things that Hyundai executed properly in the YF Sonatas.
