I had a 2013 Hyundai Elantra.. I drove it from 70,000 to 356,980 miles with mostly basic maintenance (oil,tires). Biggest/only thing I had to replace was alternator.. was still running Great until I wrecked it. Incredibly reliable in my personal experience!
2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited at 100k with absolutely no issues, only basic maintenance, purchased brand new. One of our most reliable vehicles in our personal experience as well!
2013 Hyundai here too!! Bought it new, 202k and still going strong with regular maintenance. But I’m preparing to let the 16 yr old have it so mom has to buy a new ride 😢😂🥴. These prices are crazy
We have owned several Hyundai's and they all worked great and reliably (an Excel, Elantra and two Tucson's). We have nothing but good things to say about Hyundai.
TRue. I also have Hyundai. Started with this bran back 1999. On that time they even told me Hyundai Accent is crap, worst in the market. In fact it was my best car ever. Since that time I owned Hyundai Terracan, it was kind of military car but they finished production back 2009. I owned a later Hyundai Santa Fe and have now another Santa fe. Wouldn´t complain, however fails in 2009 model weren´t something I can blam Hyundai. The previous owner has been one of that kind people, simply taking diesel and that´s all. To own car also Hyundai need some maintenance.
Typical Scotty bias against Korean cars. I had a 2021 Tucson rental for a week. If this newer generation drives at least as well, which I'm sure it does, it's hitting above its weight. The 2021 was so smooth, quiet, comfortable, and well-screwed together that I couldn't see a reason to buy a comparable-size luxury CUV.
Hahaha.... you just told the world how GOOD Hyundai's are! For such a "crappy car", you had nothing bad to say about it! Thanks! You just sold me on a new Hyundai!
For me, the selling points were the 100K warranty, larger cargo space than most competitors, regular (non-CVT) transmission, turbo engine, and more horsepower (Hybrid SEL). My only complaint is that the mpg is not near the advertised 38 (combined )-I average about 33+
Complain to the dealership about the mpg is faulty advertised and maybe they will pay you to drive it and it’s free. My friend had a Hyundai and they did that for him how amazing. That’s the reason for your purchase mpg was a lie
Be careful with the gdi engines take care to run them clean. Non Cvt is nice keep that maintained too. Turbo was a horrible choice naturally aspirated engine is better with no hybrid system to repair with age. As long as you have the income and don't mind paying every month(I own my car 3k 3 years ago still going i am cheap like scotty) care about image and have no need for extra savings or investments then sure great car man.
My family has had hyundais for years, since we moved to canada in 98. My wife has a 2020 Hyundai Tucson 2.4 AWD and it hasn't been stuck in a couple bad winters and driving up north in the winter. I'm a jeep driver and even I was impressed by how well the awd works in snow.
Jeep has long been one of the brands with awful reputations for reliability, so if you haven't been disappointed by Jeeps, you probably won't be disappointed by Hyundais.
@@theredscourge I've owned plenty of cars. The jeep is vehicle number 10, and so far absolutely no issues. And I drive it hard, off road it and work on it myself. The Hyundai has been very reliable, no issues. My least reliable car was a Mitsubishi Evo X that had transmission issues.
Jeeps are one of the worst cars to buy in terms of reliability so if you're comparing a Hyundai with a Jeep that's the problem 🤣 they're both bad cars.
As others have said, JEEP has the lowest ranking for value and reliability across the board. It’s kind of the standard people use when you are comparing the worst vehicles available.
Wait, so how is it crappy? Great price per month, all the bells and whistles, nice looking, good engine.......WHAT AM I MISSING? Sounds like a great little package!
umm 8 speed CVT transmission enough said. I have seen them grenade at 24k miles. if you want to OWN something like that, go ahead. This dude is leasing the vehicle so if it blows 8 times it dont matter.
Had a 2004 Hyundai Sonota for 20 years that had 291,000 miles. The engine and transmission was still great, but the frame was starting to rust off (live in the upper midwest), so it was time to buy a new one. Only thing that was bad was it had a timing belt instead of a timing chain. I don't think they do timing belts anymore
Yes me to i am on my 4 Hyundai my last one is a Kona 2021 ,if you follow all the services to be done NO PROBLEMS AT ALL ,i should mention it was made in Korea
If they were years under 2012 that’s why they were Mitsubishi motors. The new Hyundais are crap take my word for it I have a 2016 sonata, I’ve taken great care of it so many problems engine seized they covered it since I kept up with the oil changes and even kept adding oil.4 days later lights back on having trouble starting it and now last night not even 2 weeks later it wasn’t even starting. I took the roof to get re painted 3 times comes off once a years. Both break lights went out 3 times each in the last year. Just do yourself a favor and buy a Toyota Hyundais are crap
Been driving Hyundai for more than ten years. Never a problem. Ever. Their new cars are way ahead in safety features as well as build quality. Just bought a Palisade Htrac 2.2D. What a car. Sorry Scotty. This one I don't agree with out of experience. Tip ..... Religiously maintain your Hyundai. And it will go for years trouble free
You have been lucky or you don't put miles on them. My mom had a 16 sonata lasted about 5 years then comply fell apart. My grand father has had 2.of them. The first one had a engine failure that was recalled at 15k miles and the second was to replace that one because they couldn't figure out how to fix it. Even a broken clock is right twice a day not every KIA/Hyundai are turds but in general they have lots of issues and it is no secret.
Yes, mine is still going strong past 210,000 miles my most favorite car ever also a Sonata. Scotty is way off base here. Maybe just for clicks ***shrug** Scotty maybe investigate it better, this is an off base take and tone deaf take. Try to do better.
I own one of these...there is zero crappy about it...only a comfortable pleasant driving experience...first 20k miles I average 36mpg in MIXED driving....I change the oil every 3500 miles with full synthetic...I expect to get 10 years 150k trouble free miles...just like the last 3 KIA/HYUNDAI my family has had....take care of your cars and they will do fine. Do your research on all brands and models BEFORE buying...every brand has cars with issues.
I have the 2022 Hyundai Tucson , 28,000miles. The blind spot yellow lights go off while driving. When this happens the suv stutters and hesitates when trying to accelerate. I realized immediately stop the car , and restart it. The car reprogrammed and was ok . The problem is this happens while street and highway driving. Extremely dangerous especially on the highway. If anyone knows what the problem is please explain. Thank You!
@@davidsimone9633 That does sound dangerous...I have not heard of it before...certainly its still under warranty...get it to the dealership...you might be able to disable those sensors inside the system until they can fix it.
I have a 2012 kia soul with 120k and have had zero issues. The most reliable, cheap and steady daily driver I've ever owned. Regular oil changes and a new set of tires are the only maintenance expenses I've ever paid in over 10 years. Absolutely incredible and still going. I don't wasting money on transportation so this is perfect.
I have a neighbor that leases Hyundai’s because he gets them so cheap. He gets a new car every 2-3 years so he doesn’t worry about things breaking down. He just makes payments forever.
Never understood leases... If you have money to throw away then by all means.... I bought my 09 civic and paid it off many years ago. It has only needed a wheel bearing, wiper inserts, tires, and oil changes. It's not fancy, but I used that money for a house rather than having 3 or 4 more new cars.
Hyundai and Kia do interior design and interior quality much better than Toyota based on what I've experienced. Their bout of engine issues the last decade hasn't been a good look for the brand though.
I HAVE A IONIQ HYBRID AND TOYOTA PRIUS I CAN TELL YOU BY FAR THE TOYOTA PRIUS IS FAR SUPERIOR AND SIMPLER DIY FRIENDLY HYUNDAI IONIQ IS INFERIOR MORE PARTS MORE MAINTENANCE NOT DIY FRIENDLY LACK OF AFTERMARKET SPARE PARTS CLUTCH FLUID TANK IS BURIED UNDER HOSES AND CABLES BAD DESIGN
Still have my 2013 Genesis coupe 3.8. No major issues- decided to garage it at 85k miles and get a new daily. Looked around for a year and settled on a 23 Santa Fe and I’m very happy w it so far.
Everybody I guess has different experiences. I had 6 of them and still own a 2019 Santa Fe. Drove over half million miles with only three repairs on ALL six still on warranty. Best cars I ever had.
I hope so. I had a 2009 Sonata which was a transmission nightmare and basically everything else fell apart too before 60,000 miles. It was also the first and last car I ever had that rusted- including the frame. I got rid of it in 2013 which obviously isn’t long. Despite that, I am considering getting a 2023 Tucson. Maybe…
@@BarelySaneGenius Range Rover has the worst reputation out there. Much worse than KIA or Hyundai. I did get a 2023 Tucson Limited just after I made the post above. It’s an absolutely amazing vehicle. Keeping my fingers crossed for good luck on the reliability!
I have a 5 year old Hyundai Tucson Limited with 120,000 miles on it .. and never had one issue with it !!! better than a Toyota. We have a 10 year old Hyundai Sonata .. with 100,000 miles on it and again no issues in 10 years.
I own... 2 hyundais. 2010 accent with 335k, and 2009 touring with 290k. Both still running great. Paid 1500 for the accent 6 years ago and 3k for the touring 3 years ago. Lol the only things I had to do were brakes on both car and a clutch for the touring. That's it. Love them.
I traded in my 2014 Elantra for a 2022 Elantra. Hyundai did mess up their engines and my 14 developed a ticking noise in the engine; piston slap, which Hyundai replaced the engine with that 100,000 mile warranty. No major issues besides that. It ran fine and no engine light or anything. My 2022 rides so nice. But my rear camera went out which is on order also warranty covered.
Got the 22 Elantra SE. I take a lot of Tennessee country roads, the kind where it seems like you get frequent glimpses of your own tail lights. The Elantra takes the twisty stuff without any complaints, and goes through curves where I'm taking more lateral G than I'm willing to maintain for fear of painting the inside of the car with coffee,with complete composure. The standard 2 liter surprised the hell out of me as well. I had expected it to be something like my daughter's 2 liter Subaru Crosstrek, where acceleration is, shall we say, sedate. The Elantra accelerates fast enough that I seldom have any concern about merging speeds, even in the mechanized loonie bin that is Nashville traffic. I've had 3 Hyundais, one of which was sold early because my son had to leave the country, one that I traded at 170k miles, and one which my daughter still has with 260K on it, none of which have suffered from any significant mechanical problems. The "them Korean cars suck!" stuff just doesn't hold water in my experience.
my 2019 hyundai elantra’s engine went out, but it was totally replaced under warranty. that’s almost gone now and i’m contemplating if it’s even worth trying hyundai again 😂
@@TheWilster11 I feel you. I bought a new 2018 and it gave me a ton of problems. Engine, transmission, suspension, and random other minor issues. I traded it at 25k miles. It wasn't safe to drive and the dealerships in my area were useless about fixing the problems.
I had a 2014 Hyundai Sonata with the 1.6 liter turbo engine., drive until it had 256,000 miles on. Most reliable car I’ve ever had by far. Only major repairs were a new alternator & a new starter, besides basic maintenance like oil changes, tires, brakes, wipe blades, etc. Also, I had to replace the bulbs on the taillights more than usual. I just purchased a 2022 Hyundai Sonata limited that’s fully loaded, drives great and hoping I have the same success with it. I highly recommend the Sonata, and was completely satisfied with my experience.
O tak, Hyundai ma problem z rozrusznikami. Mam i20 (Europa tutaj) od nowości (odebrany październik 2019) i po dwóch latach zepsuł się rozrusznik. Ogólnie był 5 razy w serwisie na naprawach: rozrusznik, zamek tylnej klapy, gumowa osłona prawego przegubu napędowego, trzeszczące siedzenie kierowcy, maskownica małego tylnego okna. Z Fiat nie było takich problemów.
He put a lot of money down to get it for $210.00 per month! You never want to put more than 1k down on a lease! If you drive off the lot and it’s totaled, you lose all your down payment! - F&I Manager
I personally know someone who totalled a lease and got all their money back. It’s called full replacement insurance. Strange a F&I manager wouldn’t know about this?
I am currently entering the 3rd year of a 3 year lease on a 2020 Tucson. I previously had a 3 year lease on a 2017. They are comfortable and I've never had a problem with either car. They give you a lot for your money.
Yeah right Scotty. My Elantra was flawless. Only basic maintenance. Awesome gas mileage. Drove really well, handled really well, and had great build quality. What's not to like?
@Philip A. Wow you do a ton of driving. That’s the equivalent of 400,000 km in 8 years. I see Toyota’s do that all the time over a 20 year period, but rarely do I see a vehicle do that in an 8 year period
We bought an Azera in 2015, we loved the style and look of the car. Unfortunately it was an electronic mess, starting problems and a battery was replaced every year we owned it. We finally told the dealer to work with us as the car was just unreliable. They took the car back and worked a deal on our 2018 Santa Fe Sport which has been great.
I love my 2022 Tucson. Had it for 18 months now. Don't even need winter tires. The stock all seasons have been doing absolutely fine in the last two Canadian winters.
Haf my 2022 tuscon at 200miles after first buying engine knocked, at 1yr and a half ownership 15k miles the gas notch locked, and i wasn't able to get gas until i took it to service department, but multiple hyundai's rejected me without an appointment, finally 1 had a manager come out and fix it. Service departmeny is difficult to deal with and slow. Would not buy again. It has bells and whistles and looks exteriorly smooth, but its glitz and glamz on junk
@Stein Mauer Depends on how you look at it. My Mazda 2, 20,000 from new and worth 11000 after 7 yrs has lost 107/month in depreciation. Repair maintenance has been zero and I own the car. The lease in the Op would have cost me 17600 in the same period and I would not own it. I have saved 8600 and I have a car worth 11000. Which is the better deal??
Anyone can tell me is there any "buy in" ammount with that 210$/month, or it`s just to sign like 3 year contract and that`s it? For me it just sounds not believable.
Yeah but I'm positive he would have had to put down at least $10k due at signing. That comes out to $275 extra a month. So $500/month for three years (if you don't go over the allowed miles). At at the end of the lease you own nothing. You're basically renting a car for $500/month. But it's worse because when you normally rent a car there are no mile restrictions. Car leases are a scam. You think dealerships push them so hard because they're "nice" people? No, it's because they make a LOT more money off leases.
I've had my Elantra for 19.5 years without any problems. Cost of car has calculated out to $750 a year to own. $15k cash / 20 years. No leases or payments for this gal. Great car. Now it's time to buy again. Will go with Elantra again next year, now that they've updated the front grille, for hopefully another 20. Best warranty available plus lots of bells and whistles.
Last year I bought a used 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT (hatch) N-Line. 1.6 Turbo. Manual. 200HP. Made and assembled in Korea. Only issue was a squeaky gear in the steering column which they fixed under warranty. Interior appointments not perfect, but still love the car. Never owned a car that accelerated or handled this well. We'll see how long it lasts. Had been considering the Subaru Impreza, but just couldn't find anything new or used with manual.
@@Kelle128 No, this is the "N-Line." It's like a baby N. No N mode. Hyundai makes it in N version elsewhere, but decided to nix the whole hatch line for North America in 2020.
@@conradscheepers Nah, I'm in the Philippines and I got a 2019 Hyundai Accent with a manual transmission. After driving for about an hour, the clutch would get harder and would be slower going up after you step on it until finally it will just become stuck. You have to turn off the engine and wait for it to cool before you can step down on the clutch again. And I only got 9k kms on this!
@@shadowalk I was talking about the the internal hidraulic pump issues on the automatic gearbox . If your clutch goes " hatd" it is probably a clutch related issue. Maybe even the mastercylinder. That is why you have a 5 year waranty on the car.
Scotty, I usually agree with you, but not today. How many Hyundai cars have you owned? I put 100k km on an I30, 150k km on an i40 and the only defect was one parking sensor was faulty. Great and economical cars. So now I'm waiting for ordered Tucson 1.6 CDRi, 7 AT and I'm sure it will be a great 3 years again.
I don't understand the appeal of Scotty. People think he is saving everyone money but in reality he just says everything is crap and I'm really not convinced he knows anything about cars newer than 2004. Im a dealership tech and own a 2015 Lexus a 2015 Acura and a 2022 Lexus but this man is out of touch and refuses to accept a changing industry. Not everyone wants a 20 year old car because it's simpler and easier to work on.
I actually agree with most of what you said. For someone on YT about automobile s, that people seem to like so much . He really gives no valid reason why something is "Crap". I only came to this video to laugh at comments about Hyundai . I own a 2018 Santa Fe , we've put a 128,000 on her and love it.
I own two Hyundai's and bought the extended warranty and still way cheaper and more features. Great cars. Hate dealing with my dealership but aside from that ,good cars and awesome price.
My wife and I test drove several midsized SUV’s a year ago and the Tucson Hybrid was by far the nicest driving/riding one we drove. The features were well beyond other models and because we were going to be driving long trips, the smart cruise functionality was well beyond what the others could do (the Tucson can handle stop and go in backed up traffic). Also, it is quiet (a lot due to the hybrid functionality). If you drive it carefully, it get’s 40 mpg in town; however, at high speeds down the interstate, that can drop to 25 mpg. I have had other Hyundai’s and thankfully have not had some of the issues that are occurring for many others.
@@zacharyward3068 because Hybrid powerttrain is better suited to stop and go traffic where it uses the electric motor. That being said it wouldnt be such a dramatic change, unless you drive it like you stole it. ..
I love Hyundai/Kia vehicles for their design, comfort, and features, but after owning an Optima and an Elantra, I don't trust them. Both had a lot of stupid things go wrong very early on. Engine, transmission, and suspension issues with both by 50k miles. Plus a lot of other niggling little things like the stereo head unit not working on hot days, the fuel release button failing, HVAC fan speed being erratic. The reliability of components just isn't there.
We bought one in 2022. First one on the lot. My wife loved it. 80k miles later, I've done NOTHING to this thing except oil changes and air filters. I'm going to FL next month so I'm just now putting new brakes, tires, and spark plugs in it. 80k miles. Just now needing brakes and tires. These things are pretty fkn nice. I named it the USS Enterprise because it's a damned spaceship.
It's funngy to here him discuss all the consideration I went through when buying my Hyundais in AWD. I own two Sante Fes, 2012 and2017, and I use them and their AWD capabilities. My 2012 is even on a 2 in. spacer lift and has larger tires for off-road use. Even with the extra cost, I plan to drive them till they die. Especially since they are MINE, not the bank's.
My 2015 sonata limited with 116k miles is far and away the most reliable car I have ever owned.the only failure was the rightrear wheel bearing at 85k covered under warranty.I will keep this car as long as possible.Mel G
I've been beating up my 4-banger 2011 Santa Fe since new. Interior still looks factory fresh. Paint is perfect. No leaks or squeaks. Still pulls straight. No rust. Electronics and windows still work. The only repair so far was the starter - which I swapped out in 15 minutes. Best car I've ever owned by a long shot. Maybe I'm just lucky.
Its your driving habbits and taking care of the maintenance routine.all brands will last to you longer than other people that are irresponsible.a toyota will last you 20years while an irresponsible one will on last it for 10 years or less. Also the factor of engine & transmission. Always stick to N/A and keep away on turbocharged & supercharged engines (most luxury vehicles) and stick to 7-8 speed automatic. Keep away on any CVT trans which even some toyota and lexus have CVT's that often fail.its a design error that easilly breaks no matter what brand of car its equipped.
If you give scotty a hyundai or kia,it will last him a lifetime due to his knowledge and capability.but if you give the same car to a irresponble or unknowledgeable individual that dont have passion on cars,then it will fail within a few years.
@@jackcollin1695 I’m not trying to sell Hyundais, but all I’ve done is change the dang oil. Like I said, maybe I’m just lucky. I’ve owned two fords and two Hondas. Not a fan. My Subaru and Hyundai seem bulletproof after 5 years and 11 years respectively. The Subie has had zero issues, and it’s my daily driver. The Santa Fe has been over the grapevine dozens of times and all over California at too-high speeds. I’m trying to kill it! No breakdowns yet.
I own a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and can honestly say I love this car.It's a perfect family car. I get 45 mpg overall, mostly city driving, it's been 100% reliable and it's just a pleasure to use.
You can't really judge the car at this point as it is brand new. Any brand new car is reliable. See what happens after a few years, and after it passes the 100K mark on the odometer.
Scotty great point about AWD cars needing same tire traction at 4 wheels. Never upgrade to bigger more expensive rubber, because you cannot save by buying 2 tires at a time.
2:40 If one tire goes bad on an AWD vehicle, you don't have to replace all 4. Just buy a new one and have the tread shaved to match the tread of the other 3. Many tire stores do this as a service now so you don't have to replace all 4 tires.
I bought a 2011 Sonata SE back in 2010. It has over 160k miles on it and still running. I’ve fixed the starter once, changed spark plugs, radiator fan, and normal maintenance items (brakes, oil change, filters, etc). Probably could use suspension work but feel it could run to 200k easy. I wouldn’t say Toyota or Honda reliable, but it’s not as bad as many other brands.
just like me, all systems are good to drive.....then I was closed to being stranded, luckily. I had family close by that came to pick me up. Labor Day 2023. .Oil and temp was great 1St. Brand new car in 2012, Got towed 2xs and Hyundai fixed all the stuff. NEW ENGINE FREE.FOR FREE...$8000 . Soo, I fixed all of the stuff at my daughters and ex's place, WE finally,( My ex and I) Finally Painted the garage door from dark brown to 2 coats of white( together ), She always wanted to do that for 3 years. I Never had the time such a good time being stranded . thank god I was so close by to helped out
I agree. All Hyundais and Kias 2011-2019 qualify for engine replacement recall. They did it in my Hyundai and made me wait 8 months with faulty promises each week they’ll be done next day. They also charged me about 8k extra for other repairs and at the end when I picked the car up looked like they left the trunk opened and water made a heavy mold inside the car. They also reported they changed rotors and brakes and my local mechanic said they haven’t changed anything. Bunch of thieves
I got mold in my trunk too, it seems to be an issue with how the water drains from the roof rails. Pine needles collect in the rubber seal up top, creating a high spot and then the water runs down off the roof into the gaps on each side 😕
Still driving my Kia Spectra5 which I bought new in 2008. The longest I've ever owned a car and no major issues AT ALL so far..... It's been paid off for OVER 10 years.
@@fatandbaldwithglasses1287 same Kia have oil burner issues within 50-100k + miles if not having problems then consider yoself as minority lucky bastard otherwise majority frustrated owners having their second home as dealership when warranty period is on
I own a 2023 KIA Sportage (2.5L, gas engine). Two years of flawless service! No regrets regarding its purchase!!! I DO follow Scotty's advice on oil changes: every 5k miles or 6 months, whichever happens first.
Scotty one thing to keep in mind is having the display positioned high on the dash is actually a good thing cuz while driving instead of looking to the side and slightly down your eyes are already level just look to your right at the display.
@@TheBasher-_- lol, the technology in a car shouldn't be the reason you buy a certain car or truck.....that's how these companies build crap and get away with it. People fall for technology and looks and don't pay attention to much else. I like toyota,But, I I do agree with buying Honda in general. But you would have been better off buying an older one that has a standard tranny.
@@richsweeney1115 I disagree. It must come down to what the technology is and enables you to do, do u need heated seats? No, does my truck need trailer brakes that can hook up via bluetooth hell yes could be a life saver never skimp on brakes when hauling. For me tech is important but it must make sense.
@@TheBasher-_- i half agree. no, you dont need Bluetooth trailer brakes. You hook them up manually ,like people have done for decades and they'll be fine. If people did things manually, like they used to, we wouldn't have so many last people now. Like, a Bluetooth washer and dryer? Fridge? Its ridiculous... Yea, a Bluetooth washer and dryer can save you time when you're busy...but still. Its just the principal, its extra technology that isn't needed. If it was needed, we wouldn't have survived doing things manually. I dont even thing transmissions should be automatic
My daily driver is a 2001 Corolla I bought for $300, spent $1300 on parts, fixed it myself. Still driving it 3 1/2 years later, no problems. It could die tomorrow and I still got my money out of it.
Agreed specifically about the AWD system: most people spec it without needing it. I live in a mountain area with snow & ice, in over 20 years I have been driving, I never needed an AWD system. Good winter tires are enough unless you are really going off-road.
Hi Scotty, I love your videos and have learned some good things from them... thank you. On this one, however, I have a question. You say in the video the Tucson has a nice ride, good power, pleasing instrumentation, a great lease price, great gas mileage, a fixed gdi engine, and good styling. Here's my question: So why do you say it's crap?
@Dan M ... My question exactly! We've has our 2022 Tucson Limited Hybrid for about 18 months and love it ... sounds like Scotty does as well. It Very comfortable ride, quiet cabin, great features/tech, and has huge back seat for passengers. And, I think that the external styling is better than any of the other cookie-cutter styling that most other similar SUVs have. And, even if the transmission does have a problem, it has a 10year/100K mile warranty! When we purchased, we looked at Nissan, Toyota, Chevy, Ford and others. Didn't find one that matched what the Tucson provided. My first Hyundai, and couldn't be happier with our choice.
There is a Vlogger based out of Sydney, Australia named John Cardogan (autoexpert) loves Hyundai/Kia so much that he had to belittle Toyota so that these kimchis can shine in his dungeon
@@8543960 I had a Kia Carnival (aka Sedona) from Year 2001. That car body & interior disintegrated into disrepair after 80,000kms and the engine blew a head gasket at 95,000kms. Serviced religiously at a dealer. I will never get a kimchi again
I own a 2017 Hyndai Tucson... have about 76,000 km on it ..bought it new .. i live in Canada. The car runs absolutely fantastic . Still has that 'butter' smooth feel to it especially the steering. I do my regular oil change ... had new brakes on the car and just got transmission fluid changed. Only small issue i had was when i filled the tires to 32 PSI ..as soon as i drove off the orange transmission light appeared ..stayed on for 3 or 4 days and then disappeared . I noticed the real time fuel consumption (litres per 100km) was out of whack ...unsually high for those 3 to 4 days ... then after went down to normal numbers ...9.5L 9.9L ... in that range.
My Hyundai Accent 1.3i GL has never let me down since I bought it at the KIA dealer in early 2017. Second owner and great maintenance by the previous owner. It was also a demo car in 2004.
My wife and I purchased a new 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe 3 1/2 years ago, it now has 219,814 miles on it. It has never been in the shop for anything. I have always changed the oil myself and did one brake job on it myself. We're going this week to purchase a 2024 model, I'm hoping it holds up as good as the one we have now.
In 20+ years of driving, I have NEVER had a blown-out tire. I've had flats that can be plugged. But never a blow out. I don't think that is very common if you've got decent tires.
34 years of driving and I've had three flat tyres and no "blow outs". I kid you not, two of those happened in my driveway. The other one happened on my old Honda bike, 75 yards from home! Good tyres and regular tyre pressure checks are your friend.
@@davidbrayshaw3529 thats pretty good. I dont remember ever having a flat on the roadside. Just 4 nails that caused air-leaks , but tires were still good enough to get to a shop..
I had a blow out on a cheap Chinese tire that came with a wheel and tire package. There's nothing wrong with decent Chinese tires but avoid the cheap ones
I owned a 2010 Santa Fe. Gave it to my daughter 2 years ago at about 70K. Last month at 160K the fuel pump died and for some reason the gas gauge died. Very expensive to repair. She bought a used Ford Escape and got $1K trade in for the Hyundai. It was a very nice car and had many more features than the C-RV we were also looking at.
That Santa Fe will be on a lot with a price tag of 10k plus.Would have been much better and Much cheaper, to fix the Santa Fe at a reliable garage , Not the dealer.
She did get ripped off, though. And a lot of the time the float that makes the gas guage work. Is attached to the fuel pump. You probably only needed the furl pump assembly. You should have fixed it in your driveway.
It also traps heat that degrades plastic components relatively quickly. The first thing I do after I buy a car is remove the engine cover/s Permanently. I'd rather live with the noise than to prematurely deal with cracked, leaking, brittle expensive plastic parts. However, you may prefer to keep the cover. Each to its own
@@desertstar223 well thats true, but the hood also traps heat, i wonder how much air really circulates under the hood. I dont think its much unless you have cooling vents.
I have 19 Sante Fe with around 50000 miles, no issues with the vehicle. Lots of space for adults in the back, good on gas with the 2.0L turbo and handles like my 01 BMW 325 (they hired Albert Biermann chief engineer from BMW's M division). The only thing I don't like is the maintenance schedule.
The only major problem I had with owning a Hyundai was the Theta 2 engine in the Sonata. Other Hyundai models have them too from what I understand. Thank God it was still covered under warranty. Other than that just regular maintenance and the occasional wear and tear item.
On Toyota's new platform, they put the screen up higher. On previous models it was down too low. You don't want down too low as you can't look at it while driving
I have a new 2021 Corolla. I like the look of having the screen where it is and it is very comfortable operating it. Scotty should know that Toyota puts a lot of research into making their cars and I believe they got this one right.
Yes, but at night that damn thing must completely blind you. And doesnt matter where it is, if your looking at the screen then your not looking at the road. Who plays with the damn screen while driving anyway.
You can also argue that a "floating" screen on top of the dashboard, takes away visibility from your front windshield. My take on it: If a "too low" screen is the main reason that it would impair your driving, may I suggest you take the bus?
You don't drive and look at your screen be it low or high. The reason why some car manufacturers put buttons on the steering wheels to operate the screen.
I love Hyundai. I'm getting a 2025 Elantra N at the end of the year. Coming off my 2013 Elantra GLS that gets 38MPG in eco, has 186k on it and runs like butter. Oil comes out perfectly clean every change. Only ever needed new breaks and a hose replaced on the AC compressor.
I traded in my Elantra when it was five years old and the warranty was up. Ended up getting $10,500 for a car I bought new for $17500 (Sticker was $20,500). Hyundai are OK short term but I would sell them after the bumper to bumper warranty is up.
I own a 2011 Kia Optima and I love it. At the time it was the best looking mid size sedan in the market. I got a good price on it too. The dealership is actually fantastic. It is a working man’s car, and the dealership is NOT trying to hose you on the service visits. I had an Acura before and the service cost me 4 times more; if you own the car long enough you pay for it once more on service calls. NOT with Kia. Everything is reasonable. Even with the failed engine (my car was one of them), Kia came through fully. It as 2019 when my engine blew with 80K Kms on it, and the dealer replaced the engine with a new one at zero cost to me. ZERO. This tells me that they are taking care of their customers well even when things go wrong. Outside of this major failure (which did not cost me anything to fix) the car is flawless. I have 160K Kms on it, and it still runs and looks like new. I will buy another Kia again when this one goes.
Scotty, love love love your videos! However, my 2013 Elantra has 241,000 miles and I've had 1 repair, the steering column gasket, which I did myself, with a bad back. BEST car I've ever owned.......and I'm sorry you left Tennessee... wish you'd come back some day
I have a Hyundai i10 2010 which aren't available in USA I don't think. It's a 1.2 kappa engine 80bhp. It's done over 140,000 miles and I love it. I have a Volvo S60 diesel and as much as I love driving my Volvo the i10 is very nippy and fun to drive.
I have 2 Hyundais, 2013 Eleantra and a 2018 Santa Fe (V6). I have only had 1 recall on each, neither is listed for the one he mentions. Both have been very good cars, and I have had no problems with them. The biggest problem I have ever seen as to why people have major issues with their cars is that they drive them like race cars and in general not doing the preventative maintenance. As with anything, if you take care of it it will last and work when you need it to work.
You make a valid point. If the customers in the waiting room of my local Hyundai dealership are any indication, Hyundai seems to have a lot of subprime buyers still, who generally don't take good care of their cars.
I own a 2015 Santa Fe that has over 193,000 miles (311,000 km) on it. I use it every day for work and family activities, including multiple trips on the highway (expressway) and on rough terrain. I've driven it up and down steep hills and on the speedway, even throughout the pandemic, because my family is in the medical field. So far, the only major issues I've encountered were with the air conditioning condenser and the suspension system, both of which I have already replaced. Already at September 2024 and STILL kicks in, acceleration is GREAT and handling and comfort is like Subarus, that's why I love this model.
Scotty while I do agree with most of what you have to say I’ve had different luck with my Hyundai at 156K miles. It’s still running like the day I got it brand new the only thing I’ve had to do is replace the catalytic converter at 100K
I have a 2017 accent with no issues currently at 156k. I’m sorry about the sorento. The accent cost me $14k brand new. I’m currently averaging 37mpg so no complaints
@@vcliburn no clue. I told her not to buy a hyundai. I'll call her and ask and I'll let you know. My friend had a kia soul that had terrible electrical problems. She got rid of it for a new subaru legacy that had an oil consumption issue so she got rid of that for a toyota prius prime. No issues lol.
I have a 2022 Hyundai Elantra N (missed the recall dates) and this car has been a blast to drive. Perfect car for commuting and having some back road fun, especially for the price if you can snag one for MSRP.
@@wolfgangzenker3049 I wish you could get one for that much. N models are difficult to find for MSRP. Let alone over 15k below sticker. Hyundai and Kia models depreciate at similar rates to any other main stream brand. Not to mention they depreciate much less than Ford and Nissan just to name a couple…
Scotty is right on the auto stop start feature. Had it while I was renting a 2021 Audi Q3 SUV. Always thought it took a lot of gas to start it up. Even Honda was being investigated by the NHTSA for their 2016 to 2022 Honda Pilots with the 3.5 V6 for not starting back up in the stop and go traffic.
I've owned two Hyundai's over the years - a 2011 Santa Fe (6 cyl) and a 2012 Genesis (5.0). Had just one minor issue with the Genesis (turn signal failure) and none with the Santa Fe. Son still has the Genny and loves it.
This year we bought a 2024 Kona and a 2025 Palisade, both beautiful and very nice cars. We have absolutely no complaints, none, nada . . . .not sure about this guy!!
Wifes 13 Elantra is a good car, bought new. 110,000 now. Warranty work replaced the AC hoses as there was a leak. Wife loves it, I dont really as the suspension is stiff and it suffers from tred lock so the steering wheel has a slight hitch/catch when making slight adjustments while cruising. Heated seats are wonderful and gets great gas mileage. I drive a 15 F350 with only 45k on it so....
we are now on our 6th Hyundia. they have been outstanding vehicles. financialy reasonable, mostly problem free, great milage, 1.6 lt turbo provides plenty of power. we will get another new one next year.
Besides the engine problems (which are usually replaced for free by Hyundai), the 2015-2019 models were actually quite good while the 2010-2014 models had more troubles. It's the newer 2019+ models that are going downhill because of the DCT automatic transmissions and because of the newer 2.5 SmartStream engines. Here's what an actual Hyundai technician is saying on a forum about the latest 2.5 turbo SmartStream engines. Again, this is a Hyundai mechanic speaking that does all warranty repairs "The new Smartstream system been nothing but hassles for all of us. Neighbor already replaced a handful of injectors, all of us been random replacing ITM module, EGR issues, heat exchangers popping and dribble coolant into exhaust system and white cloud behind car, besides overheat when coolant get low, recalls" These high pressure injectors are extremely expensive AND very difficult to remove - there are a few videos on yt. Just imagine what these will cost in repairs once out of warranty. If you still want to buy a new Hyundai, wait for the 2025-2030 updated model when these design troubles will hopefully be fixed by Hyundai. I think Hyundai cars will have the lowest market resale value among Asian cars. It looks like every new Hyundai generation has several issues. Remember that most parts in Hyundai cars are manufactured by various Korean companies, perhaps these companies have issues with the quality control. Also, do not buy a used hyundai hybrid. These are the most problematic including with the battery and electrical components which are most expensive
The owner hates the automatic shut off. The ISG, Idle Stop and Go. He can turn the system off by simply pushing the button on the center console marked with A OFF. You can see the button when you show the center console @1:52
That's fine when you're driving. Having to do that every single time you start the car though, it's annoying. Auto stop/start has to be one of the dumbest "features" in modern vehicles!
Yeah I don’t think any brand can do well with auto start and stop. Regardless of brand shut that crap off. Which I do on a hyundai palisade v6. My Prius I obviously can’t do that since it’s a hybrid and that literally Atkinson cycle built into it so that’s impossible.
I had a new Tuscon for a week as a dealer loaner while my car was being serviced. The start/stop can be easily disabled with a button on the console. Also, if you don't push the brake firmly at stop lights, the start/stop won't trigger. Only took me a few tries to get the feel for it. I agree with Kilmer's review. It is quiet, is fun to drive, handles well, the heat and radio are intuitive, and is a handsome design.
Hyundai Tucson 2016 daily drive is now on 328000 no problems at all I just do normal service, change tires I travel a lot and south African roads are horrible but is handling like pro... I recommend... Very reliable
I recently purchased a 2023 Tucson Hybrid on 12/3/22. I loved the car when I test drove it and watched hours of reviews from RUclips. One thing that every single review failed to mention, is the issue Hyundai has with their panoramic sunroofs, as well as the small piece of glass inbetween the sunroof and the front windshield. There have been class action lawsuits filed against Hyundai because apparently these pieces of glass like to spontaneously burst. This happened to my 2023 Tucson after just ONE WEEK of driving. Walked out to my car ready to head to work, and noticed this giant crack in the glass, expanding from one end all the way to the other end. Car is back at the dealership right now, allegedly getting fixed at no cost to me. But some of the personal stories I've read online make me hesitant to believe that Hyundai is actually going to cover it. I'll come back with more details once I get an update. But just wanted other buyers to be aware of this common issue. I am not very pleased.
UPDATE: One week later, it’s fixed! The dealership I purchased it from had a Hyundai adjuster come out and look at it. They deemed there was something faulty with the glass and replaced it at no cost
@@sunsh9ne1471 Next time get a car with more reliability rather than a "good warranty" a reliable car is one that you can use every day. The hyundai already cost you a week without a car and those dreaded trips to the dealer. The old saying goes "The best warranty is the one you never need."

689,500 HYUNDAI’s 2.0,1.8 2.2 Recalled for ENGINE FAILED Just this year
Hello sir, do you have any experience with SsangYongs?
You can tell he's not a engineer
I had a 2013 Hyundai Elantra.. I drove it from 70,000 to 356,980 miles with mostly basic maintenance (oil,tires). Biggest/only thing I had to replace was alternator.. was still running Great until I wrecked it. Incredibly reliable in my personal experience!
How did you put that many miles on a 2013?
Still have my 17 Hyundai Ioniq limited.... Didn't have and still don't have any issues with it.
My 2016 Tucson is still running like a champ. The secret: religious about the maintenance schedule!
2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited at 100k with absolutely no issues, only basic maintenance, purchased brand new. One of our most reliable vehicles in our personal experience as well!
2013 Hyundai here too!! Bought it new, 202k and still going strong with regular maintenance. But I’m preparing to let the 16 yr old have it so mom has to buy a new ride 😢😂🥴. These prices are crazy
We have owned several Hyundai's and they all worked great and reliably (an Excel, Elantra and two Tucson's). We have nothing but good things to say about Hyundai.
Why do you buy Hyundai - Kia? They destroy lives of whistle blowers... Seriously..
My engine seized and Hyundai replaced it for free.
Curious if you drove them over 100k miles
@@jeffmartin1968 2014 Elantra 200,000 Km in Canada over 100k miles ... not one issue ... inside or out.
TRue. I also have Hyundai. Started with this bran back 1999. On that time they even told me Hyundai Accent is crap, worst in the market. In fact it was my best car ever. Since that time I owned Hyundai Terracan, it was kind of military car but they finished production back 2009. I owned a later Hyundai Santa Fe and have now another Santa fe. Wouldn´t complain, however fails in 2009 model weren´t something I can blam Hyundai. The previous owner has been one of that kind people, simply taking diesel and that´s all. To own car also Hyundai need some maintenance.
I rented and then bought a 2023 Tucson because of Scotty's "crappy" review! Thanks!
I am looking at the Tucson. How is it doing now?
For a car that is supposed to be "Crap" Scotty is sure singing the car's praises
$210 a month with $3,500 down is usually how it goes.
Lol. I was wondering
Typical Scotty bias against Korean cars. I had a 2021 Tucson rental for a week. If this newer generation drives at least as well, which I'm sure it does, it's hitting above its weight. The 2021 was so smooth, quiet, comfortable, and well-screwed together that I couldn't see a reason to buy a comparable-size luxury CUV.
@@palebeachbum That's because Scotty is clueless.
@@Notfiveo0 yep 0 down more like 350 a month
Hahaha.... you just told the world how GOOD Hyundai's are! For such a "crappy car", you had nothing bad to say about it! Thanks! You just sold me on a new Hyundai!
You forgot about the infamous automatic shutoff. The venom from one bite is enough to kill 10 fully grown men.
@@rackal3753 See my post above, that start/stop is easily defeated.
@@Hemond1 where above?
exactly what I thought
This legit could be a comedy skit.
For me, the selling points were the 100K warranty, larger cargo space than most competitors, regular (non-CVT) transmission, turbo engine, and more horsepower (Hybrid SEL). My only complaint is that the mpg is not near the advertised 38 (combined )-I average about 33+
Complain to the dealership about the mpg is faulty advertised and maybe they will pay you to drive it and it’s free. My friend had a Hyundai and they did that for him how amazing. That’s the reason for your purchase mpg was a lie
@@OutdoorTonezso you are telling me I have been driving like a maniac wasting fuel for no reason
I could’ve got my car for free this whole time ?
Good luck with that 100k warranty.
Be careful with the gdi engines take care to run them clean. Non Cvt is nice keep that maintained too. Turbo was a horrible choice naturally aspirated engine is better with no hybrid system to repair with age. As long as you have the income and don't mind paying every month(I own my car 3k 3 years ago still going i am cheap like scotty) care about image and have no need for extra savings or investments then sure great car man.
Agree with all except the turbo I’m a UL grad too class of 79
My family has had hyundais for years, since we moved to canada in 98. My wife has a 2020 Hyundai Tucson 2.4 AWD and it hasn't been stuck in a couple bad winters and driving up north in the winter. I'm a jeep driver and even I was impressed by how well the awd works in snow.
Jeep has long been one of the brands with awful reputations for reliability, so if you haven't been disappointed by Jeeps, you probably won't be disappointed by Hyundais.
@@theredscourge I've owned plenty of cars. The jeep is vehicle number 10, and so far absolutely no issues. And I drive it hard, off road it and work on it myself. The Hyundai has been very reliable, no issues. My least reliable car was a Mitsubishi Evo X that had transmission issues.
Hundai's are Awesome! Switched from Toyota since they refused to offer Apple Carplay and kept price gouging
Jeeps are one of the worst cars to buy in terms of reliability so if you're comparing a Hyundai with a Jeep that's the problem 🤣 they're both bad cars.
As others have said, JEEP has the lowest ranking for value and reliability across the board. It’s kind of the standard people use when you are comparing the worst vehicles available.
Wait, so how is it crappy? Great price per month, all the bells and whistles, nice looking, good engine.......WHAT AM I MISSING? Sounds like a great little package!
Right! All I heard was praise throughout the video.
Yes, I didn't really hear him say anything bad about the new Tucson. If he mentioned it's a little crappy, he didn't actually explain why.
It’s just the thumbnail for views. There is nothing crappy about it
umm 8 speed CVT transmission enough said. I have seen them grenade at 24k miles. if you want to OWN something like that, go ahead. This dude is leasing the vehicle so if it blows 8 times it dont matter.
@@RRLV434 it worked on me. 🫤
Had a 2004 Hyundai Sonota for 20 years that had 291,000 miles. The engine and transmission was still great, but the frame was starting to rust off (live in the upper midwest), so it was time to buy a new one. Only thing that was bad was it had a timing belt instead of a timing chain. I don't think they do timing belts anymore
I guess I missed the part on why it was crap. I thought Scotty was gonna go get him one at the end of this as long as he can get it for $210 a month.
thats why you NEVER EVER Buy a hyundai or KIA. you lease it.
210 a month with 4K down
Their non turbo engines are decent but stay away from their turbos if you plan on keeping it long term or if you drive lots of miles.
Same here... He does this, rambles on and it gets hard to find the point of the video
@Mark Williams It's kind of like beating a dead horse by now, but if you watch his hands closely, you'll see his point clearly.

If they were years under 2012 that’s why they were Mitsubishi motors. The new Hyundais are crap take my word for it I have a 2016 sonata, I’ve taken great care of it so many problems engine seized they covered it since I kept up with the oil changes and even kept adding oil.4 days later lights back on having trouble starting it and now last night not even 2 weeks later it wasn’t even starting. I took the roof to get re painted 3 times comes off once a years. Both break lights went out 3 times each in the last year. Just do yourself a favor and buy a Toyota Hyundais are crap
@@francocanuckI guess you are lucky people I talk to have them die before 100k that’s what they said at the dealership to
Been driving Hyundai for more than ten years. Never a problem. Ever. Their new cars are way ahead in safety features as well as build quality. Just bought a Palisade Htrac 2.2D. What a car. Sorry Scotty. This one I don't agree with out of experience. Tip ..... Religiously maintain your Hyundai. And it will go for years trouble free
You have been lucky or you don't put miles on them. My mom had a 16 sonata lasted about 5 years then comply fell apart. My grand father has had 2.of them. The first one had a engine failure that was recalled at 15k miles and the second was to replace that one because they couldn't figure out how to fix it. Even a broken clock is right twice a day not every KIA/Hyundai are turds but in general they have lots of issues and it is no secret.
Been driving Hyundais no problems… I feel like all cars are all crap these days so I’ll keep driving my 2014 sonata 😊
I want a new hybrid sonata so bad
😂 you right
Yes, mine is still going strong past 210,000 miles my most favorite car ever also a Sonata. Scotty is way off base here. Maybe just for clicks ***shrug** Scotty maybe investigate it better, this is an off base take and tone deaf take. Try to do better.
@Austin Davis not true, some brands are just bloody bad. like ford. They were designed bad.
Every car has pros and cons its just that some cars have worse problems than others.
I own one of these...there is zero crappy about it...only a comfortable pleasant driving experience...first 20k miles I average 36mpg in MIXED driving....I change the oil every 3500 miles with full synthetic...I expect to get 10 years 150k trouble free miles...just like the last 3 KIA/HYUNDAI my family has had....take care of your cars and they will do fine. Do your research on all brands and models BEFORE buying...every brand has cars with issues.

I have a 2012 kia soul with 120k and have had zero issues. The most reliable, cheap and steady daily driver I've ever owned. Regular oil changes and a new set of tires are the only maintenance expenses I've ever paid in over 10 years. Absolutely incredible and still going. I don't wasting money on transportation so this is perfect.
Amen to that
I have a neighbor that leases Hyundai’s because he gets them so cheap. He gets a new car every 2-3 years so he doesn’t worry about things breaking down. He just makes payments forever.
Yeah that's the trade off.
Never understood leases... If you have money to throw away then by all means....
I bought my 09 civic and paid it off many years ago. It has only needed a wheel bearing, wiper inserts, tires, and oil changes.

The fact that a Toyota loyalist likes to compare with Hyundai says a lot about how far Hyundai has come.
Hyundai and Kia do interior design and interior quality much better than Toyota based on what I've experienced. Their bout of engine issues the last decade hasn't been a good look for the brand though.
Or how much Toyota has fallen.

Everybody I guess has different experiences. I had 6 of them and still own a 2019 Santa Fe. Drove over half million miles with only three repairs on ALL six still on warranty. Best cars I ever had.

I hope so. I had a 2009 Sonata which was a transmission nightmare and basically everything else fell apart too before 60,000 miles. It was also the first and last car I ever had that rusted- including the frame. I got rid of it in 2013 which obviously isn’t long.
Despite that, I am considering getting a 2023 Tucson. Maybe…

I have a 5 year old Hyundai Tucson Limited with 120,000 miles on it .. and never had one issue with it !!! better than a Toyota. We have a 10 year old Hyundai Sonata .. with 100,000 miles on it and again no issues in 10 years.
I own... 2 hyundais. 2010 accent with 335k, and 2009 touring with 290k. Both still running great. Paid 1500 for the accent 6 years ago and 3k for the touring 3 years ago. Lol the only things I had to do were brakes on both car and a clutch for the touring. That's it. Love them.

I traded in my 2014 Elantra for a 2022 Elantra.
Hyundai did mess up their engines and my 14 developed a ticking noise in the engine; piston slap, which Hyundai replaced the engine with that 100,000 mile warranty. No major issues besides that. It ran fine and no engine light or anything. My 2022 rides so nice. But my rear camera went out which is on order also warranty covered.
Got the 22 Elantra SE. I take a lot of Tennessee country roads, the kind where it seems like you get frequent glimpses of your own tail lights. The Elantra takes the twisty stuff without any complaints, and goes through curves where I'm taking more lateral G than I'm willing to maintain for fear of painting the inside of the car with coffee,with complete composure. The standard 2 liter surprised the hell out of me as well. I had expected it to be something like my daughter's 2 liter Subaru Crosstrek, where acceleration is, shall we say, sedate. The Elantra accelerates fast enough that I seldom have any concern about merging speeds, even in the mechanized loonie bin that is Nashville traffic. I've had 3 Hyundais, one of which was sold early because my son had to leave the country, one that I traded at 170k miles, and one which my daughter still has with 260K on it, none of which have suffered from any significant mechanical problems. The "them Korean cars suck!" stuff just doesn't hold water in my experience.
shoulda kept the 14 lifetime engine replacment and if you want a new 1 high speed down shifts and let her scream
Got a bad Hyundai so he went right back to Hyundai to get another… makes sense.
my 2019 hyundai elantra’s engine went out, but it was totally replaced under warranty. that’s almost gone now and i’m contemplating if it’s even worth trying hyundai again 😂
@@TheWilster11 I feel you. I bought a new 2018 and it gave me a ton of problems. Engine, transmission, suspension, and random other minor issues. I traded it at 25k miles. It wasn't safe to drive and the dealerships in my area were useless about fixing the problems.
I had a 2014 Hyundai Sonata with the 1.6 liter turbo engine., drive until it had 256,000 miles on. Most reliable car I’ve ever had by far. Only major repairs were a new alternator & a new starter, besides basic maintenance like oil changes, tires, brakes, wipe blades, etc. Also, I had to replace the bulbs on the taillights more than usual. I just purchased a 2022 Hyundai Sonata limited that’s fully loaded, drives great and hoping I have the same success with it. I highly recommend the Sonata, and was completely satisfied with my experience.
O tak, Hyundai ma problem z rozrusznikami. Mam i20 (Europa tutaj) od nowości (odebrany październik 2019) i po dwóch latach zepsuł się rozrusznik.

I am currently entering the 3rd year of a 3 year lease on a 2020 Tucson. I previously had a 3 year lease on a 2017. They are comfortable and I've never had a problem with either car. They give you a lot for your money.
What’s your payment on that? if you don’t mind me asking, just got mine wanted see if I got a good deal
Yeah right Scotty. My Elantra was flawless. Only basic maintenance. Awesome gas mileage. Drove really well, handled really well, and had great build quality. What's not to like?
The recall on the 8 speed transmission is only for the DCT. Not the regular automatic.
My 2013 Hyundai Azera is about 250,000 miles on it, I did change water pump, right front axle, and some maintenance. It's a very reliable car.
@Philip A. Wow you do a ton of driving. That’s the equivalent of 400,000 km in 8 years. I see Toyota’s do that all the time over a 20 year period, but rarely do I see a vehicle do that in an 8 year period
@Philip A. 9 years I mean
@@Blakecryderman7244 I bought it in 2012 fall .. so exactly 10 years old … it is still perfect for road trips.
A lot of highway miles i suppose? That said, an Azera is built with a different philosophy than an Elantra or Accent. So keep it if it does the job
We bought an Azera in 2015, we loved the style and look of the car. Unfortunately it was an electronic mess, starting problems and a battery was replaced every year we owned it. We finally told the dealer to work with us as the car was just unreliable. They took the car back and worked a deal on our 2018 Santa Fe Sport which has been great.

Haf my 2022 tuscon at 200miles after first buying engine knocked, at 1yr and a half ownership 15k miles the gas notch locked, and i wasn't able to get gas until i took it to service department, but multiple hyundai's rejected me without an appointment, finally 1 had a manager come out and fix it. Service departmeny is difficult to deal with and slow. Would not buy again. It has bells and whistles and looks exteriorly smooth, but its glitz and glamz on junk
210$ a month as a lease?! That's a bangin deal!!!
@Stein Mauer No, it only covers repair maintenance, not routine servicing or accidents.
@Stein Mauer Depends on how you look at it. My Mazda 2, 20,000 from new and worth 11000 after 7 yrs has lost 107/month in depreciation. Repair maintenance has been zero and I own the car. The lease in the Op would have cost me 17600 in the same period and I would not own it. I have saved 8600 and I have a car worth 11000. Which is the better deal??
It's on RUclips, people always make up numbers!
Anyone can tell me is there any "buy in" ammount with that 210$/month, or it`s just to sign like 3 year contract and that`s it? For me it just sounds not believable.
Yeah but I'm positive he would have had to put down at least $10k due at signing. That comes out to $275 extra a month. So $500/month for three years (if you don't go over the allowed miles). At at the end of the lease you own nothing. You're basically renting a car for $500/month. But it's worse because when you normally rent a car there are no mile restrictions. Car leases are a scam. You think dealerships push them so hard because they're "nice" people? No, it's because they make a LOT more money off leases.
I've had my Elantra for 19.5 years without any problems. Cost of car has calculated out to $750 a year to own. $15k cash / 20 years. No leases or payments for this gal. Great car. Now it's time to buy again. Will go with Elantra again next year, now that they've updated the front grille, for hopefully another 20. Best warranty available plus lots of bells and whistles.

Last year I bought a used 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT (hatch) N-Line. 1.6 Turbo. Manual. 200HP. Made and assembled in Korea. Only issue was a squeaky gear in the steering column which they fixed under warranty. Interior appointments not perfect, but still love the car. Never owned a car that accelerated or handled this well. We'll see how long it lasts. Had been considering the Subaru Impreza, but just couldn't find anything new or used with manual.
Only transmission problems in the USA. They are buildt in USA.

Scotty, I usually agree with you, but not today. How many Hyundai cars have you owned? I put 100k km on an I30, 150k km on an i40 and the only defect was one parking sensor was faulty. Great and economical cars. So now I'm waiting for ordered Tucson 1.6 CDRi, 7 AT and I'm sure it will be a great 3 years again.

My wife and I test drove several midsized SUV’s a year ago and the Tucson Hybrid was by far the nicest driving/riding one we drove. The features were well beyond other models and because we were going to be driving long trips, the smart cruise functionality was well beyond what the others could do (the Tucson can handle stop and go in backed up traffic). Also, it is quiet (a lot due to the hybrid functionality). If you drive it carefully, it get’s 40 mpg in town; however, at high speeds down the interstate, that can drop to 25 mpg. I have had other Hyundai’s and thankfully have not had some of the issues that are occurring for many others.

I love Hyundai/Kia vehicles for their design, comfort, and features, but after owning an Optima and an Elantra, I don't trust them. Both had a lot of stupid things go wrong very early on. Engine, transmission, and suspension issues with both by 50k miles. Plus a lot of other niggling little things like the stereo head unit not working on hot days, the fuel release button failing, HVAC fan speed being erratic. The reliability of components just isn't there.
The Hyundai Tucson is adequate for my use case and, I agree, the naturally aspirated 2.5 liter engine really is fun Scotty!
Fun? Eh. I guess it's all relative
Here in Australia, the Tuscon petrol engine is only 2 litres. Nice car but I find it a little under powered.
We bought one in 2022. First one on the lot. My wife loved it. 80k miles later, I've done NOTHING to this thing except oil changes and air filters. I'm going to FL next month so I'm just now putting new brakes, tires, and spark plugs in it. 80k miles. Just now needing brakes and tires. These things are pretty fkn nice. I named it the USS Enterprise because it's a damned spaceship.
It's funngy to here him discuss all the consideration I went through when buying my Hyundais in AWD. I own two Sante Fes, 2012 and2017, and I use them and their AWD capabilities. My 2012 is even on a 2 in. spacer lift and has larger tires for off-road use. Even with the extra cost, I plan to drive them till they die. Especially since they are MINE, not the bank's.

I've been beating up my 4-banger 2011 Santa Fe since new. Interior still looks factory fresh. Paint is perfect. No leaks or squeaks. Still pulls straight. No rust. Electronics and windows still work. The only repair so far was the starter - which I swapped out in 15 minutes. Best car I've ever owned by a long shot. Maybe I'm just lucky.
Its your driving habbits and taking care of the maintenance routine.all brands will last to you longer than other people that are irresponsible.a toyota will last you 20years while an irresponsible one will on last it for 10 years or less. Also the factor of engine & transmission. Always stick to N/A and keep away on turbocharged & supercharged engines (most luxury vehicles) and stick to 7-8 speed automatic. Keep away on any CVT trans which even some toyota and lexus have CVT's that often fail.its a design error that easilly breaks no matter what brand of car its equipped.
If you give scotty a hyundai or kia,it will last him a lifetime due to his knowledge and capability.but if you give the same car to a irresponble or unknowledgeable individual that dont have passion on cars,then it will fail within a few years.

You can't really judge the car at this point as it is brand new. Any brand new car is reliable. See what happens after a few years, and after it passes the 100K mark on the odometer.
Scotty great point about AWD cars needing same tire traction at 4 wheels. Never upgrade to bigger more expensive rubber, because you cannot save by buying 2 tires at a time.
Or just have the money to spend on nice tires? Lmao
When leasing for 36 months the chances of one tire going bad is minimal. Pretty much a non-issue.
Tire rack will shave tires so you do not need to buy all 4
@@JD-op6vn Really? Good tip JD.
2:40 If one tire goes bad on an AWD vehicle, you don't have to replace all 4. Just buy a new one and have the tread shaved to match the tread of the other 3. Many tire stores do this as a service now so you don't have to replace all 4 tires.
Thanks for posting, I didn't know this.

I’ve fixed the starter once, changed spark plugs, radiator fan, and normal maintenance items (brakes, oil change, filters, etc). Probably could use suspension work but feel it could run to 200k easy.

I agree. All Hyundais and Kias 2011-2019 qualify for engine replacement recall. They did it in my Hyundai and made me wait 8 months with faulty promises each week they’ll be done next day. They also charged me about 8k extra for other repairs and at the end when I picked the car up looked like they left the trunk opened and water made a heavy mold inside the car. They also reported they changed rotors and brakes and my local mechanic said they haven’t changed anything. Bunch of thieves
I got mold in my trunk too, it seems to be an issue with how the water drains from the roof rails. Pine needles collect in the rubber seal up top, creating a high spot and then the water runs down off the roof into the gaps on each side 😕

Hi Scotty, I love your videos and have learned some good things from them... thank you. On this one, however, I have a question. You say in the video the Tucson has a nice ride, good power, pleasing instrumentation, a great lease price, great gas mileage, a fixed gdi engine, and good styling. Here's my question: So why do you say it's crap?
Exactly. Another Toyota bias born years ago
You need to look at his other videos talking about Hyundai's 👌
@Dan M ... My question exactly! We've has our 2022 Tucson Limited Hybrid for about 18 months and love it ... sounds like Scotty does as well. It Very comfortable ride, quiet cabin, great features/tech, and has huge back seat for passengers. And, I think that the external styling is better than any of the other cookie-cutter styling that most other similar SUVs have. And, even if the transmission does have a problem, it has a 10year/100K mile warranty! When we purchased, we looked at Nissan, Toyota, Chevy, Ford and others. Didn't find one that matched what the Tucson provided. My first Hyundai, and couldn't be happier with our choice.
Because Toyota paid too much

The only major problem I had with owning a Hyundai was the Theta 2 engine in the Sonata. Other Hyundai models have them too from what I understand. Thank God it was still covered under warranty. Other than that just regular maintenance and the occasional wear and tear item.
NOPE. go look up engine recalls. thats most of hyundai KIA models.
Mine was replaced under warranty and they Hyunadai extended the warranty on the engine for the lifetime of the vehicle.
@@thelight5067 yeah they lost class action. 😂😂
@fffwe Haven't had that issue with my 2013 Elantra. I traded it in around the 145k mark.
It's like saying my heart fails but other than that I'm healthy 🤣
On Toyota's new platform, they put the screen up higher. On previous models it was down too low. You don't want down too low as you can't look at it while driving
Looks like crap though
I have a new 2021 Corolla. I like the look of having the screen where it is and it is very comfortable operating it. Scotty should know that Toyota puts a lot of research into making their cars and I believe they got this one right.
Yes, but at night that damn thing must completely blind you. And doesnt matter where it is, if your looking at the screen then your not looking at the road. Who plays with the damn screen while driving anyway.
You can also argue that a "floating" screen on top of the dashboard, takes away visibility from your front windshield. My take on it: If a "too low" screen is the main reason that it would impair your driving, may I suggest you take the bus?
You don't drive and look at your screen be it low or high. The reason why some car manufacturers put buttons on the steering wheels to operate the screen.
I love Hyundai. I'm getting a 2025 Elantra N at the end of the year.
Coming off my 2013 Elantra GLS that gets 38MPG in eco, has 186k on it and runs like butter. Oil comes out perfectly clean every change. Only ever needed new breaks and a hose replaced on the AC compressor.
I traded in my Elantra when it was five years old and the warranty was up. Ended up getting $10,500 for a car I bought new for $17500 (Sticker was $20,500). Hyundai are OK short term but I would sell them after the bumper to bumper warranty is up.
I own a 2011 Kia Optima and I love it. At the time it was the best looking mid size sedan in the market. I got a good price on it too.
The dealership is actually fantastic. It is a working man’s car, and the dealership is NOT trying to hose you on the service visits. I had an Acura before and the service cost me 4 times more; if you own the car long enough you pay for it once more on service calls. NOT with Kia. Everything is reasonable.
Even with the failed engine (my car was one of them), Kia came through fully. It as 2019 when my engine blew with 80K Kms on it, and the dealer replaced the engine with a new one at zero cost to me. ZERO. This tells me that they are taking care of their customers well even when things go wrong.
Outside of this major failure (which did not cost me anything to fix) the car is flawless. I have 160K Kms on it, and it still runs and looks like new.
I will buy another Kia again when this one goes.
Scotty, love love love your videos! However, my 2013 Elantra has 241,000 miles and I've had 1 repair, the steering column gasket, which I did myself, with a bad back. BEST car I've ever owned.......and I'm sorry you left Tennessee... wish you'd come back some day
Ive owned a 2013 hyundai elantra I put 80k miles on it and I loved it. I now drive a 2023 hyundai elantra and its amazing as well👍🏽 speak for yourself
If You put snow tires on a front wheel drive vehicle, they will go nearly anywhere as long as the Bottom don't drag.
For video that supposed to show how the car is crap, Hyundai could probably make a good TV commercial out of it.
I have a Hyundai i10 2010 which aren't available in USA I don't think. It's a 1.2 kappa engine 80bhp. It's done over 140,000 miles and I love it. I have a Volvo S60 diesel and as much as I love driving my Volvo the i10 is very nippy and fun to drive.
I had same year i10. Clutch cable snapped without warning....new cost £200 at the time!! Crazy money for a clutch cable
I have 2 Hyundais, 2013 Eleantra and a 2018 Santa Fe (V6). I have only had 1 recall on each, neither is listed for the one he mentions. Both have been very good cars, and I have had no problems with them.
The biggest problem I have ever seen as to why people have major issues with their cars is that they drive them like race cars and in general not doing the preventative maintenance. As with anything, if you take care of it it will last and work when you need it to work.
You make a valid point. If the customers in the waiting room of my local Hyundai dealership are any indication, Hyundai seems to have a lot of subprime buyers still, who generally don't take good care of their cars.
I own a 2015 Santa Fe that has over 193,000 miles (311,000 km) on it. I use it every day for work and family activities, including multiple trips on the highway (expressway) and on rough terrain. I've driven it up and down steep hills and on the speedway, even throughout the pandemic, because my family is in the medical field. So far, the only major issues I've encountered were with the air conditioning condenser and the suspension system, both of which I have already replaced. Already at September 2024 and STILL kicks in, acceleration is GREAT and handling and comfort is like Subarus, that's why I love this model.
Scotty while I do agree with most of what you have to say I’ve had different luck with my Hyundai at 156K miles. It’s still running like the day I got it brand new the only thing I’ve had to do is replace the catalytic converter at 100K
My sister's new sorento cuts off at the light but doesn't turn back on lol.
I have a 2017 accent with no issues currently at 156k. I’m sorry about the sorento. The accent cost me $14k brand new. I’m currently averaging 37mpg so no complaints
@@aayonazizi747 I have a 407k altima and I average 37mpg also.
@@occckid123 Your sister's new Sorento is obviously still under warranty. So, what did Hyundai do about it, and what's the situation now???
@@vcliburn no clue. I told her not to buy a hyundai. I'll call her and ask and I'll let you know. My friend had a kia soul that had terrible electrical problems. She got rid of it for a new subaru legacy that had an oil consumption issue so she got rid of that for a toyota prius prime. No issues lol.
I have a 2022 Hyundai Elantra N (missed the recall dates) and this car has been a blast to drive. Perfect car for commuting and having some back road fun, especially for the price if you can snag one for MSRP.
You can get one for 15k, they depreciate faster then Maseratis
@@wolfgangzenker3049 No kidding, I traded in a new elantra after 10 months and it was worthless, Used the money to buy groceries.
@@wolfgangzenker3049 I wish you could get one for that much. N models are difficult to find for MSRP. Let alone over 15k below sticker. Hyundai and Kia models depreciate at similar rates to any other main stream brand. Not to mention they depreciate much less than Ford and Nissan just to name a couple…
Scotty probably titled the video before he actually made it. He loved this car
On my second Hyundai . Owned them for many years & many miles . No problems
Scotty is right on the auto stop start feature. Had it while I was renting a 2021 Audi Q3 SUV. Always thought it took a lot of gas to start it up. Even Honda was being investigated by the NHTSA for their 2016 to 2022 Honda Pilots with the 3.5 V6 for not starting back up in the stop and go traffic.
I think those 2016 piloys also had issues with finicky collision warning
You can turn it off. I don’t like it but have to remember to turn it off
You can't trust what this guy says. He will say something good about a car company one day and then it's crappy.
I've owned two Hyundai's over the years - a 2011 Santa Fe (6 cyl) and a 2012 Genesis (5.0). Had just one minor issue with the Genesis (turn signal failure) and none with the Santa Fe. Son still has the Genny and loves it.
Scotty, it's so hard navigating through all this electronic crap on the road these days. My 94 Celica and I can't take it much longer.
This year we bought a 2024 Kona and a 2025 Palisade, both beautiful and very nice cars. We have absolutely no complaints, none, nada . . . .not sure about this guy!!
Wifes 13 Elantra is a good car, bought new. 110,000 now. Warranty work replaced the AC hoses as there was a leak. Wife loves it, I dont really as the suspension is stiff and it suffers from tred lock so the steering wheel has a slight hitch/catch when making slight adjustments while cruising. Heated seats are wonderful and gets great gas mileage. I drive a 15 F350 with only 45k on it so....
I busted out laughing when he powers down the car and said " happy music" 🤣
I have a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe limited AWD and I love it. Got lucky coz it's the only model year that only has minor problems 🤞🤞
04 santa fe with 2.4 engine now has 302.000 miles..changed oil and filter every 3000 miles since new and other typical upkeep.
we are now on our 6th Hyundia. they have been outstanding vehicles. financialy reasonable, mostly problem free, great milage, 1.6 lt turbo provides plenty of power. we will get another new one next year.
Besides the engine problems (which are usually replaced for free by Hyundai), the 2015-2019 models were actually quite good while the 2010-2014 models had more troubles.
It's the newer 2019+ models that are going downhill because of the DCT automatic transmissions and because of the newer 2.5 SmartStream engines. Here's what an actual Hyundai technician is saying on a forum about the latest 2.5 turbo SmartStream engines. Again, this is a Hyundai mechanic speaking that does all warranty repairs
"The new Smartstream system been nothing but hassles for all of us. Neighbor already replaced a handful of injectors, all of us been random replacing ITM module, EGR issues, heat exchangers popping and dribble coolant into exhaust system and white cloud behind car, besides overheat when coolant get low, recalls"
These high pressure injectors are extremely expensive AND very difficult to remove - there are a few videos on yt. Just imagine what these will cost in repairs once out of warranty. If you still want to buy a new Hyundai, wait for the 2025-2030 updated model when these design troubles will hopefully be fixed by Hyundai. I think Hyundai cars will have the lowest market resale value among Asian cars. It looks like every new Hyundai generation has several issues. Remember that most parts in Hyundai cars are manufactured by various Korean companies, perhaps these companies have issues with the quality control. Also, do not buy a used hyundai hybrid. These are the most problematic including with the battery and electrical components which are most expensive
So, which other car company/dealership do you work for?
I actually made money on my Hyundai Elantra when I sold it. $2000 after driving it for 42k miles.
The owner hates the automatic shut off. The ISG, Idle Stop and Go. He can turn the system off by simply pushing the button on the center console marked with A OFF. You can see the button when you show the center console @1:52
you have to do that everytime you start the car 🤣🤣🤣
I use steering lock every time I remove and install it 🤷
That's fine when you're driving. Having to do that every single time you start the car though, it's annoying. Auto stop/start has to be one of the dumbest "features" in modern vehicles!
Yeah I don’t think any brand can do well with auto start and stop. Regardless of brand shut that crap off. Which I do on a hyundai palisade v6. My Prius I obviously can’t do that since it’s a hybrid and that literally Atkinson cycle built into it so that’s impossible.
I had a new Tuscon for a week as a dealer loaner while my car was being serviced. The start/stop can be easily disabled with a button on the console. Also, if you don't push the brake firmly at stop lights, the start/stop won't trigger. Only took me a few tries to get the feel for it. I agree with Kilmer's review. It is quiet, is fun to drive, handles well, the heat and radio are intuitive, and is a handsome design.
Gotta appreciate scotty for making videos in the rain
🙏

Hyundai Tucson 2016 daily drive is now on 328000 no problems at all I just do normal service, change tires I travel a lot and south African roads are horrible but is handling like pro... I recommend... Very reliable
I recently purchased a 2023 Tucson Hybrid on 12/3/22. I loved the car when I test drove it and watched hours of reviews from RUclips. One thing that every single review failed to mention, is the issue Hyundai has with their panoramic sunroofs, as well as the small piece of glass inbetween the sunroof and the front windshield. There have been class action lawsuits filed against Hyundai because apparently these pieces of glass like to spontaneously burst. This happened to my 2023 Tucson after just ONE WEEK of driving. Walked out to my car ready to head to work, and noticed this giant crack in the glass, expanding from one end all the way to the other end. Car is back at the dealership right now, allegedly getting fixed at no cost to me. But some of the personal stories I've read online make me hesitant to believe that Hyundai is actually going to cover it. I'll come back with more details once I get an update. But just wanted other buyers to be aware of this common issue. I am not very pleased.
Thank you for sharing! Hope it gets fixed quickly!
Hmm I have my 2022 Tucson Hybrid for 1year and 2 months, I did 40k miles, didn't notice anything about that
please post the update... Im planning to buy 2023 Tucson Plug-in Hybrid
UPDATE: One week later, it’s fixed! The dealership I purchased it from had a Hyundai adjuster come out and look at it. They deemed there was something faulty with the glass and replaced it at no cost
@@sunsh9ne1471 Next time get a car with more reliability rather than a "good warranty" a reliable car is one that you can use every day. The hyundai already cost you a week without a car and those dreaded trips to the dealer. The old saying goes "The best warranty is the one you never need."
