Scotty, I've owned a 2006 KIA Sedona EX, No issues, traded for a 2016 Kia Sedona, No problems to date, my wife had a 2008 KIA Spectrum EX, no isses then a 2012 Hyundia Elantra, no problems, 2016 KIA Soul currently away at college, no problems with any of these except brakes and tires. I now own a 2022 Tucson, no issues. Please note that all these vehicles had their oil and fluids changed regularly.
Scotty isn't saying 10 out of 10 Hyundais will break down. It's a fact that Hyundais break down more often than a Toyota and just because you have owned a good Hyundai, it doesn't mean others would too. but at the same time, just because 9 Toyotas didn't break down, your 1st Toyota might.
I don't think he's saying they're a particularly bad brand. He's just pointing out the obvious issues they're having. He won't endorse anything else than a Toyota or a Honda lol
At the end, reliable car means SAFE!!! Consumers wants to change the model every but they don't understand changing too fast is risk of having problems!
In contrast, my wife has a 2017 Kia Sportage. Bought new. $29K OUT THE DOOR. No issues. Leather seats, heated everything…my only complaint is the lousy mpg’s for a small 4 cylinder and the road noise. I think the road noise is because of the cheap tires used. But as a simple daily driver, she’s happy. And it didn’t break the bank. We will probably get rid of it at 100, 000 miles. But keep up with maintenance and it’s a fine inexpensive vehicle IMO.
For$29k u should absolutely get more than 100k miles out of a car. But that's the problem- they've figured Americans will trade in so why bother with long term reliability.
My friend got a pre-owned 2016 Hyundai Santa-Fe back in 2020 for ~$9000. Not even a month of owning it, there’s something wrong with the engine so she took it to the dealership. They end up replacing the engine, but since it’s a manufacturer error, it can be replaced with no cost. I’m just happy that nothing bad happened to her, but she has successfully convinced me not to get a used Kia/Hyundai despite of more affordable prices…
My family and I have owned multiple Hyundai/Kia vehicles, starting with the Tucson in 2005 (which we still have and is still running strong). We have a 2005 Tucson, 2013 Kia Soul, 2018 Kia Rio, 2018 Kia Sportage(recently traded in for a 2023 Sportage) and a 2021 Kia Sportage between us all. They were taken for all required recalls and given routine maintenance and oil changes. There were never any problems other than routine maintenance requirements for any car (new tires, brakes, etc). Either we're the luckiest family in America or a lot of people don't know how to take care of their cars and blame it on the company.
@@LarryBirdsJumpshotMany people who buy inexpensive cars generally abuse them and do not service them properly. But then again so do some people who buy Bentleys. You just never know unless you buy from someone you do know.
Well Scotty you now have my heart pumping! I’m the owner of a 2024 Tucson, my fifth Hyundai which I have had no major problems with except for my 2006 Azeri where the transmission failed at 75,000 Kim’s (I’m Canadian). Hyundai replaced it under warranty and my son is still driving it with 398,000 Kms (he is frugal like you). You certainly have me worried about the Tucson but, I will keep you posted as I have a 150,000 km warranty! I love your informative posts so you can see why I’m now worried.
If you can afford to replace your car every 5 years, it really shouldn't matter what brand you buy. Regular maintenance and warranty should cover anything. Only real worry is resale - which on a reasonably priced car shouldn't differ hugely anyway.
Well I have a 2016 Santa Fe Sport with a 2.4 l gdi engine. I have cleaned the valves with CRC Gdi valve cleaner every 15,000 miles. The vechile now has 120,000 miles. The vehicle runs like a new vehicle as it should. My other vehicles are a 2006 Tundra and 2000 Honda Odyssey. Both of these vehicles work perfectly as I maintain all of my vehicles
My Hyundais cars engine stalled after the dealership did an engine consumption test. The crank shaft broke and now they won’t honor their warranty even though my car is still under warranty. I drove the car only 30 miles after the oil consumption test and the engine blew up. I’m so disappointed in Hyundai they don’t care
Dirtbag dealership did something similar to my parents, wouldn’t cover a warranty repair, said car was out of warranty and said the purchase date was 8 months prior to my parents buying it, even though they had all the sales paperwork from that dealer. Stay away from Paramus Hyundai. Hyundai corporate was useless.
My wife drives a 2014 Sonata Limited (purchased new) with the 2.4L Engine. It's almost at 95K miles. Maintenance has never been missed and it runs great! Get's close to 40 mpg on highway.
My 2012 Accent is going strong at 108k. I realize it's not one of the vehicles discussed here. Not part of Hyundai marketing team, lol. Not every car is a lemon.
I have a 2013 Optima (parents bought new) that just crossed 100k and still runs great! Regular maintenance as well and planning to keep it until the wheels fall off.
Hi Scotty I have a 2018 kia optima with the gas GDI engine I have zero problems with this car smooth running quality made car no noises etc very nice looking car it's over 5 years old not one issue
Same, I have a 2015 Accent with a GDI and I’m at 175k miles, Ive had to replace wiper blades, and one $200 AC issue that I got fixed. It’s been an excellent car.
Just to report….our 2020 Telluride 3.8l was purchased new. Full synthetic oil change every 5k. Has 76k on it now with no issues. I did do the CRC intake clean myself at 60k. The engine does not consume any oil either. Only 2 or 3 services were done at the dealer, the rest done myself at the house. Obviously I have no idea what the long term reliability will be but I wanted to state my experience so far. Our 2021 Kia Rio 1.6 has been great. 36k so far. LOF every 5K too. Burns no oil. Gets great gas mileage, up to 48mpg
this year my Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 5 speed, just turned 21 years old. i bought it new. the car is fast and has incredible handling! in 21 years I've had to replace the starter motor and the radiator, that's it! . it's a cool looking black coupe , probably the most reliable, and fun car ever! all it needs now is a new paint job! I'm SURE Scotty knows what he is talking about, but so do I!!
Those problems were recognized on 1996 Mitsubishi 4G93-GDI engine that I believe the origin of the Hyundai Theta II-GDi. The problems were enhanced by Hyundai.
Yep. The GDI tech that the Koreans brag about is actually 30yr old Mitsubishi technology with enhanced problems. I remember when the early Mitsubishi’s used to burn oil. Kia and Hyundai in 2023 still burn oil.
@@mrgurulittle7000 Same thing happened with MOST of our Mitsubishi’s in our Avis rental fleet. We maxed out our oil change intervals, ‘obviously’, at 7.5-10K mls and they would be burning a quart every 1-2K mls by then. None of the other cars at that time would approach that
Well, I have owned a 2005 Kia Sportage 6 cylinder (purchased brand new) I have over 220,000 mi on it. I replaced all the hoses and belts, & the only thing that ever went wrong was that the fan blower needed to be replaced. Still so quiet sometimes you turn the key when the engine is running! I'm about to give it to my grandson who needs a car, and purchase a 2024 Kia Sportage. My wife has a 2014 Kia Soul it runs like the day it was purchased, it has 125,000 mi on it. I am definitely sold on Kia's engines!
Me and my wife have been driving kia and hyndai for quite some time with no issues. We follow the maintenance schedule, like any car owner should do, and schedule any recall work if it gets issued. 🤷♂️
When people say Hyundais are unreliable, they generally don't mean every car with a Hyundai badge is going to fail. Among ever car brand there's going to be a percentage of cars that run to high miles without issue. It's just Hyundai tends to have a higher percentage of cars that do run into parts failure. So you being a part of the high percentage that doesn't run into issues is believable, just be equipped with the knowledge of what you're buying
Same here. I have a Kia Rio and my wife has a Hyundai Accent. The Kia is a 2015 and the Hyundai a 2010. So, many years of use. 0 problems. Best cars we have ever had.
Had a 2017 Elantra where the paint started pealing. The warranty was extended to 6 years but I was never notified and didn’t learn about the extension until after the 6 years. Was a good car aside from the amount of oil it burned.
Switched to a 2024 Corolla Hybrid after I learned my 2017 Elantra was burning oil. Good car but dealbreaker that the engine burned oil at just 67k miles which is when I found out.
Have a 2015 Veloster and the clewr coat stated chipping away a little over 2 years ago. So barely 5 years out of a Hyundai paint job before it starts going to hell.
My college student daughter drives a completely loaded 2008 Santa Fe AWD with 320,000 miles on it. Doesn't burn or leak a drop of oil, and the inside of the engine is spotless. Best snow vehicle in the family., and we live in Colorado. Drives like new. Best part, I bought it six years ago for $1000 with a blown transmission at 195k. $450 for a used transmission and a couple of afternoons busting my knuckles in the garage and it's been unstoppable since. I keep asking my daughter if she is ready for a newer car. She says she never wants to get rid of it. So while they have a lot of GDI and Theta II engine issues, those pre-2010 Santa Fe vehicles were very well built.
My neighbor asked me about buying a Hyundai Sonata because he loved the looks and all the electronic gadgets it has. I told him what Scotty said and recommended he lease not buy. So he did, he leased for 3 years. Meanwhile we have a 2010 Lexus RX that still looks and runs like new after 180k miles.
Correct. Kia/Hyundai are great for leasing as you get way more bang for the buck than a Toyota, and return the car before any long term issues crop up. But if the goal is to keep a car forever, then you BUY a Toyota.
My wife own a 2013 Kia Optima EX she inherited from her mother passing five years ago and its been wonderful daily driver. I own a 2023 Santa Fe XRT I purchased in 2022 and Ive had not trouble with it.
I’ve owned over 3500 cars in my 65 years ( was a licensed dealer) but I drove every single one of them. My experience is one fire only which was on a 1999 Jeep Cherokee from an electrical short under the dash which overheated and caught fire. I found the Hyundais to be less durable than most Japanese brands. Of all the cars I’ve processed and sold I believe the Toyota Corolla and 4 Runners were the most durable and lasted really well. Mazda 3 also were really good cars
2013 Hyundai coupe caught fire while on freeway then exploded due to “engine issues”. I consider myself VERY lucky to have gotten out alive. The company was very weird about it, I’m glad to see more info coming out on it these days so people can at least be aware. I’ve been a fan of your channel for years, and took your advice into account when buying my most recent car a few years ago, thank you! Currently loving my Honda
Did anything come out of your incident? Seems like lawyers would have a field day with that situation. I would have talk to a lawyer to see if that's the case. That's unacceptable for a company to put the lives of its customers at risk.
In 12 I was looking for my last vehicle. I looked at the Hun. Genesis. Loved the way it looked. But I was afraid of the motor (reliability). So I bought a GM Buick Regal GS a 13. 10 years and 83,000 miles. Blown motor. Always changed oil on time. Wishing I had bought the Genesis. Never again will I buy a GM product.
I have a 2010 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 loaded. Just turned 106000. Had the extended warranty, only problem was the starter . Dealer replaced it at 88000 miles. Regular maintenance, and I still love the car!
@@dirtyjersey4672 are you NJ? Hudson county NJ. I hear good and bad about kia hyundai. i say it is oil changes and fresh filters that make the difference. If a toyota is not maintained, it can have the same problems.
For a car that is so awful there are as many of them on the road as Toyota. I've had at least 8 Hyundais and never had a problem with any of them. I even had a couple of the ones Scotty mentioned. Again. No problem. Any model or brand can have problems. If you like keeping your car 10 or 20 yrs then fine. But hold on to your shorts when you have to replace it. Especially since it won't have any value then. If you like getting new or newer every 5 yrs or so at least your vehicle should have a little value left. Have a nice day !
Failed to mention the massive depreciation of a car in the first three years, so if you replace one every 5 years or so you will be absorbing big losses when trading it in. It's makes much more economical sense to maintain and keep a car for at least 8-10 years.
@@tims7738 Don't necessarily agree. After 10 yrs your car won't be worth much and after the warranty expires all the maintenance and repairs are on you. Then when you go look for another car you are basically starting from scratch and the price of a new or used one will probably knock your socks off. If you replace (not necessarily with brand new) you will or should have warranty and hopefully no repairs or problems.But do whatever works for you. Just my opinion.
@@user-yq3wu6qq7uEach approach has its pros\cons, however, I don't think Hyundai and\or Kia's hold up as well mechanically as Toyota, Honda, or Mazda over time. I can only speak from experience, have a Mazda3 for almost 9 years, only basic maintenance, runs like new. A comparative car like the Elantra may have similar results, but overall I don't think the quality is on par with the Mazda.
I had a my 2006 Hyundai Sonata 16 years no issues. I have a 2020 Sonata and it’s been great. My parents 2016 Santa Fe works great. My sisters have had Sonatas too all worked great. My only complaint is the glass in the windshields. I think we all have had a cracked windshields. I’m going to get the new 2024 Santa Fe.
My dad bought 2006 Sonata with 2.2 CRDI few years back for backup vehicle for 1000 eur. 465 thousand km in odo. Thus far only problems has been to replace injector seal rings (which is very simple and cheap fix, but can cause bigger isfues, you should do it if you haven't in these diesel engines), fuel gauge has electronic issue so it doesn't work, and had to replace rusted fuel line in the back. It's solid car I'd say. Much better to drive than my wifes 2012 Toyota Avensis with half that in odo and 10x more expensive in used market. There are problem cars in Hyundai/Kia lineup, but thanks to it the good ones are a steal, if you know what to look at.
Wow. Good to know. Yeah I see LOTS of used hyundais and Kias on sale In Las Vegas with 200k + miles. Some people swear by them. Some people on forums say they have nothing but problems with toyota prius. Others get 500k +. A guy is selling his used prius In Vegas and it has 500k miles. His other one has 300k miles
@@hiesenburg669 The 1.6t is less prone to the common issues but it is still a gdi motor. If it doesn’t burn any oil right now I would definitely be looking into having an oil catch can installed that way you protect the piston rings. Just remember your climate if it gets too cold like freezing the contents in the can may freeze. We have 2020 tucson 60k miles doesn’t burn a drop or has any signs of carbon buildup affecting the motor catch can beat idea ever for this motor. Can I stalled since new I’m worried this thing will make it surpass 200k the way it drives right now it’s like better than new. Im begging for it to give me an issue lol but it just works.
Recalls schmecalls... even Toyota has them. I have 147,000 miles on my 17' Sorento, sold my 11' Sante Fe with 126,000 miles, my 07' Santa Fe before that with 107,000 miles. Our other vehicle is a Seltos SX with 35,000 miles... Maintain as you should and they should serve you well.
Yup, my SIL didn't listen to us and bought herself a Santa Fe. Driving down the hwy it threw a rod. Luckily for her even though she bought it used Hyundai is going to put in a new engine in for free. I think she should trade it in as soon as she gets it back.
I have an 18 year old Kia spectra, It has given me no real problems, except for normal maintenence. The only problem I have has has been with the shifter which was an easy fix.
I had a 2021 Hyundai Elantra, and just about every time I started the car, there was a small grinding noise. It sounded like the starter wasn’t lined up correctly? Anyway, I traded it in for a 21 Acura ILX. What a huge difference in everything. The technology package is nice. Power seats, heated, ect…. Night and day! I used to have to pump a lever, to adjust my seat! It was an SEL MODEL. Because of Scotty, I took his advice, and knowledge, and bought a much more reliable car👍
Literally described EVERY car ever made. There is no perfect car out there. Every car has problems. Poorly maintained or not. Poorly made/assembled or not. Import or Domestic. EVERY car will experience an issue at some point and it will cost you. It's inevitable. Stop trying to scare people from specific car brands. If the car fits their specific circumstances in life than it is what it is. And for all the people who think I am just Hyundai or Kia owner that is offended. You would deemed incorrect. I don't own a Hyundai or Kia. I own a vehicle that fit my circumstances in my life. In which I don't owe the responsibility to anyone to tell what I own.
My 2023 Santa Fe left me stranded on the side of the road in busy Atlanta rush hours. Dealer is trying hard to not replace my engine under warranty. F that 10 year 100,000 Powertrain Hyundai Kia do not stand behind their pos. Previously I had a genesis coupe 2.0 and the engine was burning 1 qt oil a month. Do not trust jd power all they do is take money from manufacturers and ranked them higher. My 2002 Ford and my 2006 Acura never gave me any troubles.
Wow I see a lot of comments about hyundai won't honor the 10 yr warranty.. my mom's 2012 sonata blew engine just months before 10yr expired and they honored it and gave a new engine still had to pay a few grand tho. I guess my mom got lucky..
@@hey-diddlediddleif your mom had to pay a few grand they definitely didn’t honour the warranty lol . They probably just made her pay “ their cost” and charge her any extra . For ex , as a bodytech , my material to paint a part is about $130 on average. I charge $350 per part . For family , I’ll just charge my material.
Thanks to the Scotty I bought a 2024 Mazda CX5 vs Hyundai Tucson as they were both 0% 60 months and we needed a car bad. RAV4 were 8.25% or 5.99% my bank
Really well I guess I'm a lucky one!!! 2001 TOYOTA 4-Runner bought new off the lot and NO issues what so-ever with 23 years 185000 STRONG " Oh what a feeling" I only go to garage to maintain my ride P.S. NO car should have" issues". if they were built well and you take care of 'em
2007 Elantra owner, close to 200k miles. I've only had a throttle position sensor replaced under warranty in 2011. Recently lost the engine on the road, and it was from bad gas! Besides that and a vandalized window, and occasional cracked windshield from road pebbles, car is trouble free. Paint still looks good, with occasional washing and I've never waxed it. The interior does need some work as the sun visors have both failed, but the cloth seats are holding up great with no rips or tears.
I guess it depends on the model. I have a 2005 1st gen Tucson with a 2L CRDI engine and I love it. Had it for over 4 years and only normal maintenance. All electronics work, plenty of power and does about 32 MPG.
@@204driver i’m not surprised about Volvo they are endless money pits with a history of problems just like Hyundai & Kia . Definitely get rid of that while you can. Sorry to hear that
Kia recall for engine valve springs may cause fire Kia is recalling 2,872 of its 2024 Telluride vehicles. The engine valve springs may break while driving, which can result in a loss of drive power and possibly create a hole in the engine block.7 days ago
bought a brand new 2017 Tucson with turbo engine, did all the maintenance and had a blown engine and damaged transmission at 135,000 miles, it was my first and last Hyundai ever.
I have a 2015 Sonata, that my mom bought new, it runs great no problems. It only problem was a broken plastic gear at the bottom of the steering shaft. The car has just under 115K, it only once showed a check engine light, it went off and never came back on again.
I watched the first 4 minutes, and the problems you outlined, from your words, only concerned models that were released more than 10 years ago. I don't really care about kia/huyndai, I just want to buy a new and reliable car in 2024 and find a good brand/model, and I don't understand why you keep talking about old cars that most people won't buy today. In my region kia/huinday are also popular and a lot of people who work with cars everyday say that modern Hyundai engines have the majority of issues fixed and there are cars with 500k km+ total milage (kilometrage I would say) running still reliably. Is this true?
My 2016 Tucson's engine seized up at 44K. Luckily I was on a back road. The lady at the dealership didn't even shrug when I went in, just handed me the warranty claim form. It took a couple months to replace the engine during which time I had to squeeze into the Accent they loaned me.
Hyundai for me has been great im on my third one, very reliable vehicles. I’ve had the 2017 Elantra, then the 22 kona limited with the 1.6T and dct tranny (that was the only flaw was the tranny wasn’t smooth starting into 1st). Now have the 24 Kona electric limited. All have been great vehicles. “The Kona electric is my favorite one)
This girl i know has a hatchback elantra and she drives it back and forth on a rough muddy road and her car has a really hard life and it handles it well. Better than my dodge hands down. So im sold on hyundai.
Don't expect your Kia to last as long as a Toyota. They're very Nice and great for leasing, much cheaper than a Toyota. I have an 06 Highlander, my wife leases a new Sportage. I love her car. But it's going after 3 years. Sell your Kia after a few years just to be safe.
@@MikeKayK I’m trading it next year for the refreshed Sorento my friend drives a 2018 Sorento bought it new and it’s fine my wife has had Kia’s her whole life and they’ve been she traded her Sportage for a 2024 Tahoe RST after a 2 year wait from ordering it
I purchased a 2013 Hyundai sonata in September of 2013, and just traded it in for a 2023 Sonata July of 2023. Never had an issue and got over 300k miles on it. I was always up to date on maintenance and normal wear and tear. Never an issue with the motor.
I drive a 2006 Sonata bought new, runs gr8 @ 18 years with 80,000 miles. Routine self maintenance (fluids, belts, filters, transmission, brakes etc etc) I think a lot of trouble stems from poor maintenance by sloppy techs & owners who just don't service their vehicles until it fails.
I had a 2018 hyundai elantra gt with only 32,000 miles. I'm the original owner, and it is in excellent condition. I went to renew my insurance and they only wanted to give me liability since they are stolen left and right in Phoenix. I ended up selling it and buying a 2005 toyota Rav4.
In my experience, I've just sold my 7 year old Kia Sportage Diesel DCT Auto which I had from new; I did 132k miles in it and it never missed a beat! It has been the best, most reliable car I've ever driven and still looked like it was brand new on the day I sold it.
2019 Hyundai Sonata Sport SEL….have had it since 2020 and I absolutely love everything about it. MPGs are great and it is somewhat loaded, thankfully I haven’t had any issues, I maintain it well too, so not all Hyundais are awful…just fyi
I had a 2022 elantra and faced lots of issues and I bought it new. I just got a new 2024 hyundai sonata delivered in the last three months and I already have these issues : 1. front bumper already detached 2. back bumper detaching already. 3. automatic side mirrors not going down. 4. the infotainment screen already blinking. 5. the remote control already peeled 6. body paint peeling. I will consider another company when my lease ends..
Mitsubishi in Australia has the best warranty 10 yrs.....a lot of people will buy a car due to the length of a warranty. I wouldn't, I don't want my car sounding like a clock🕰️
My 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe brand new was a piece of crap. So many problems with it. Finally got rid of it. What a headache. The dealership was crap as well!!
Mom got a 2020 tucson and after the KIA BOYS scare with precaution her vehicle runs good no issues reliable. Just keep it maintained and it runs beautifully.
My son’s girlfriend just dumped a 2018 Hyundai Tucson on a Mazda dealer (@ 48k mi) for a new MX5. The Tucson was burning oil so bad it had 1/2 quart left in it the last two 4K mile oil changes.
We had a 2018 Kia Sportage but just got rid of it for a '23 Nissan. The Sportage ran fine while we had it but we did have to bring it in for that knock sensor recall. Same engine problem as the other models where all the software does is when it detects the fatal knock, you're supposed to get it into the dealership ASAP. Most likely what would happen is they either ignore it and say it's fine or replace the engine. After doing the software update, Kia then provided a lifetime warranty on the powertrain. Not a bad deal but concerning none-the-less.
I had a 2012 sonata I sold it with nothing wrong with it it was a 2.5 gdi I only changed the oil once a year never had a problem with it. it has 178000 miles on it i never did anything but put breaks on it. Now I have a 2022 kia k5 GT I love it I recommend this car to everyone
@@1976axerhand already got 40,000 Mi on it and loving every minute of it! I drove nothing but Chevy before this every one of those cars are in the junkyard where I took them
That's why I stick with Toyota and Honda. 2011 Toyota Sienna - 147K running like new. 2007 Honda Civic - 144K running like new. When I decide to get another one will again be either one or both brands again.
That's great, I have an 06 Highlander with no issues either. But not everyone wants to drive dinosaurs. My wife leases a new Sportage, it's way nicer and way cheaper than a comparable RAV4 and we're going to return it before any long term issues crop up.
I bought a NEW Hyundai Santa Cruz... The transmission went out at 2,000 miles. Hyundai LIED to me about recalls...There are MANY RECALLS on Hyundai transmissions. Mine, would drop into whats called 'limp mode' thats 20 mph.... without any notice, I was driving on the freeway at 60mph, then suddenly dropped to 20mph ON THE FREEWAY !!!! and angering my life and my families life..... NEVER AGAIN... I SOLD it right away.
Scotty is all Toyota. Also he is back and forth. You can find a handful of videos of him praising the New Elantra, and at the same time millions of other vids trashes it.
Aside all the bashing he gives for Hyundai/Kia, he also made a video of top 8 Asian car brands where he put Hyundai/Kia fourth place after Toyota, Honda and Mazda.
I've owned 5 Hyundai vehicles and I will never own another car as my daily driver; my experience has been positive for ALL 5 cars with exceptional customer service at 3 different dealers! Genesis will by next car!
@@genesiskwanza8335Sorry to hear that; my experience has been universally and consistently positive; they stood by me as a customer and the dealer culture (of the 3 I have dealt with) was professionally consistent. The value for dollar spent is strong; the vehicles are stylish, well equipped, with acceptable performance...I'm a fan and will be a life-long owner!
The best car I ever owned in my life was a 2008 Hyundai Elantra. That generation of Elantras and 4-cylinder Sonatas were the most reliable cars Hyundai ever made. I was at 300,000 with the original engine and transmission working perfectly in mine before an accident totalled it. I beat the hell out of that car, too. But yeah, the engines have really gone downhill since then. Recalls galore.
I believe Kia/Hyundai quality peaked in the late 2000’s. I had a 2007 Sportage with a V6 that ran like a clock for me. I would later upgrade to a 2006 Ford Escape.
I owned a 2001 accent for 17 years, 2007 entourage for 8, and the dreaded 2016 Tucson for 7 years. No major issues with any of them. I keep them well maintained. I am looking at the older panther platform and a possible Toyota due to higher maintenance costs and getting back into working on cars myself.
Scotty? Question what happend to your second channel you made a couple years ago? It was sort-of a big thing and you sayed nothing about it again? Keep up the great work.
It's hard following the various power outputs of different models, and gets harder when they have different battery sizes. Maybe it would be easier if Graphs were shown? Plus most of these EV's are not Named - there's just a random collection of letters and numbers.
@@tooltime9260 Ohhhh.. I love this..LOL! I’ve read more novels, books and literature than most people in my age group, which you OBVIOUSLY wouldn’t be able to determine considering your statement. I do AGREE with you that phones do constitute a major problem in society today, especially with a younger generation who have access to an abhorrence of degenerative ‘information’ that, at such a young and undeveloped age, can completely ruin someone’s ability to develop a mentally mature and healthy psyche in life. I just thought his video was a ‘little repetitive’ and gave a polite opinion, considering Im an ardent follower of his. Try again genius….
I own Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 .77,000 miles . No problems . Only things I do is changing oil every 5 thousand miles , tire rotation, breaks replacement and regular maintenance.👩🔧
Scotty your video editing skills are often overlooked. Its not easy for most to produce content that looks professional as you produce. I would not consider a Hyundai or kia because i have to make my cars last at least 10 years
My daughter had a 2016 Kia Soul that needed a catalytic converter twice and she was always getting the breaks repaired on that thing. Someone tried to steal it even though it was the top model with the push button start...so she had to replace back side window and fix steering wheel. It got totaled 2 months ago with over 120k miles on it. We told her not to go near a Kia again or Hyundai ...so now she's in a 2021 Mazda CX-30 and she loves it so far.
