Used to work at a body shop 10 years ago, those XD Elantras were common for rusting the rear quarters out where the bumper meets……and boy were they a rattle trap. It amazes me how much better the build quality got as the years progressed. 15 years ago my father had a first-gen Kia Sportage. Great little truck, the Northeast winters (salt) ate the frame…..and it decided to break when I hit a pothole. Swore Kia/Hyundai off after that, now here I am drooling over the Palisade/Telluride twins….still wayyyyy out of my price range (as are most new cars)
They’re all style, interior comfort, features now, sadly the important things in a car like making sure the powertrain is dependable, electrical things don’t short and cause fire, isn’t stupid easy to steal, making sure warranty and recall work is done right all take a backseat to those two. People like to say “all car companies have problems” and they’re right, but they’re also missing the pattern of HyunKia stupid cost-cutting repeatedly biting buyers in the butt who have to deal with it. And half-assed recall “fixes”. And needing to be sued to care for owners of their many engines. Some models might be better than others, some years, but it’s not worth the risk.
