long term reputation for quality ? like toyota with their 10,000,000 recalls and law suits
every car maker gets recalls , no car is perfect
what car maker did you have in mind ? -- don't answer that , because who ever you pick i'll dig up all the recall notices the company has got to prove you wrong
hyundai offers value , features, reliability , with more power and better mpg ratings at the same time than their competition with these theta 2 engines
the only company right now that gets their bugs out of their first year model cars it seems is ford ,
no other maker can do this
so i'd let hyundai work its bugs out of their 1st year models like everyone else
consummer reports guy says to buy the last model year of a car before the next gen comes out as the best one to buy
do you remember all the praise the press lavished continuelly over the lada when it came out ? no ?
thats because there wasn't any -- the press isen't stupid , auto journalist drive hundreds of cars
they give praise where its deserved , some models are better than others , but one thing hyundai does is learn fast and improve their products fast , and because of that that get my vote , more than i can say for alot of other auto makers
you bring up automatic trans -- don't get me started on faulty automatic transmissions noted for failing from car makers, i had to pass on a 2001 prelude years back because of it , i really liked that car , that tranny was passed to 2 more gens of accords without being fixed . hyundai wouldn't do that , you know why ? because they are always trying to improve their cars
