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.

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.

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

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.

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)

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.

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.

imo it's more to get a car out after some asshat parks too close to your door.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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. 😉

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.

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.

The lower trim still comes with automatic highway driving tech that makes my long commute a lot more liveable. There is no way to get this type of tech in a comfortable sedan at a lower price.

What did he miss?

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.

I owned a 2006 Kia Spectra5 hatchback, a 2014 Kia Optima, and now own a 2018 Elantra GT, which is the version of the European i30 they imported to the US. I understand the recalls for possible engine problems, but I have enjoyed every mile with each of these three vehicles.

I prefer the K5 for the better MPG, nicer Interior, more performance orientation, and a generally cooler looking exterior. With that being said, I still love the Sonata and the tech packages included with it. I personally own a Hyundai Kona and I love it. I think both Kia and Hyundai have really stepped up their game the past couple years.

Owned two Fortes in a row. Owned the first one just a few miles shy of the warranty. It had no major problems. My current GT was ever so slightly less expensive than the Koup I'd bought a decade earlier, and better in every single way.

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.

I have 2011 Kia Cerato (forte) 1.6 auto. It's a great little car.

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 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 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.

Is 110,000 miles a lot for those engines. Im thinking about buying a sonata but I drive 32,000/year

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.

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 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?

Hi Scotty! Would you have a video on fixing or replacing a horn for a Kia Forte (2016).. My horn suddenly stopped working. I really don't want to have to take it to the dealer if I can fix it.

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.

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:)

Had a 2009 Sonata new offerred with Lifetime XM. Taking Grama to Mayo and the front passender roof handle came off. Took in and the replaced all handes. Sold to daugter which got 259,000 miles befor totaled in Phoenix AZ.Tranny sliped for a while ,however mechanic said dont mess with it,and dont change the fluid.

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.
