I was once in a meeting between a specialty antenna manufacturer and a major airline. An antenna on a 747 was struck by lightning and had to be replaced for many thousands of dollars. The president of the airline asked the salesman "What can be done to prevent this in the future". What was expected was the salesman to cringe in fear and apologetically offer some wild concession or corrective action. The salesman replied very calmly "Don't fly through thunder storms".

The point is look whats in front of you and avoid pot holes. Road conditions in India are horrible because of the monsoons and periodic floods.
what a hunk of junk
Hyundai Group used to make amazing engines. This was in the late 2000s. I actually own one. 09 Sportage 12 years old engine is great. It is the Naturally Aspirated 2.0 Hyundai Beta DOHC I4 engine. Very reliable. You can find them in the 08 09 Elantras and Tucsons with well over 160 180 200k miles. Very good for a Kia. The newer ones are more selling due to cosmetic quality rather than mechanical quality, which is a shame because some of their cars actually look pretty sleek;(
This comes to no surprise to anyone on this forum. If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a hundred times. Hyundai/Kia CANNOT build proper vehicles. Numerous class actions will prove that.
A rolling (sometimes) pile of scrap metal.
Typical Hyundai/Kia build quality.
