For the record… I have a 1994 Elantra that I treat like crap and barley maintain. It has never given me a single problem in 1.5 years… until today ironically and im sure it has something to do with not changing the spark plugs for a few years lol. ---

Yes i know the full line up, so your saying the only reliable ones are the tucson and the santa fe, none of the other ones?

I’m not going to get into a huge argument here, but… saying “if they are used as rental cars they must be reliable”. NO. Chryslers, Dodges, Fords are all used as rental cars. Does it make them reliable? No, it means THEY ARE CHEAP. (rental companies keep cars to 30k and then auction them) Not to mention, when a lot of vehicles are used in fleet sales it hurts the resale and market value of said vehicle. 10yr/100k warranties on powertrains are useless and nothing more than a marketing tool. Hyundai, Kia and Suzuki all used it in their early years to help gain footing in the American market. If you’re at all familiar with “Frequency of Repairs and Cost vs Time and Mileage” Studies then you’d know that during the 3/36k mile warranty periods, most claims are made in the first 9 months and then virtually none are made afterward until years 4-7 or 37,000 miles plus. There is a reason why 99% of manufacturers structure their coverages @ 3/36k. If you’re building a quality automobile then you shouldn’t need to have a 10/100k warranty (ie: Honda & Toyota) ---

While I don’t disagree that their reliability has increased of late, rental cars are (A) cheap and disposable and (B) usually cycled through in 1, at most 2 years. ---

Look im not arguing the fact at all that Honda and Toyota are reliable, that would be just plain dumb. But shit DOES happen after 36k and when your buying “Quality” it should be covered IMO ---
