Interesting. Me, I had a 1987 Hyundai and that car was the best bargain I ever had in my life. I rode that thing hard for 16 years and, apart from putting in a new clutch in 1994, the car never required anything beyond minor maintenance. Gas mileage was outstanding, car handled well, and passed smog every time. I only gave it up to donate to charity for an appreciable tax break to offset a decent windfall in 2003.
Plus, even the cheapest Hyundais can go well over 100 mph, as we learned from the Rodney King tale.
I don't what that other poster was blowing about with four Hyundai people he knows claiming they won't get another one. I can't tear my Elantra up!
