POS cars...

My wife was rear ended a couple weeks ago and while her car is in the shop she gets a 2003 Hyundai Sonata with less than 800 miles on it as a replacement to her BMW 325i (what's wrong with this picture???).

I had a chance to drive this piece of crap last weekend and it is a horrible little car. The windows rattle when rolled down (hmm, where have I heard that before??? ), the transmission is clunky, the engine is REALLY noisy at idle (4 banger) and the trunk doesn't close correctly (I had to slam it hard 3 times before it latched). The steering feels very disconnected from the road and the car wallows when making quick maneuvers. Man, I see the quality of Korean cars hasn't gotten any better even though they seem to be gaining market share.

I don't care if it does have a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. I would never buy one.

 
Strange... my parents have a Santa Fe, and it is a very nice car. 40,000 miles and not a single rattle, squeek or problem. It has a little more road noise than the bigger boys, but that is to be expected. We've had excellent luck... sorry to hear your experience has been different!
 
I have a 2001 Hyundai Elantra and my wife has a 2003 Santa Fe. Both run perfectly. Elantra does have a few rattles, but mostly from the speakers. Granted they aren't in the same class as BMWs, but neither are their price tags.
 
Exgf had a 2002 sonata. I was very impressed by it. It had no probs at 2000 miles....but I don't know anymore. (I dumped her 😛)

Click to expand...

or did she dump you? heheh 😉

but anywho, you're prolly just noticing that cuz you drive a car thats a little bit better than the Sonata. Now is this Sonata a rental? Rentals cars might have been previously abused by diffrent peeps... but that's just my guess.
