Hi!
any honest opinions about the car?
not as a commuter but as weekend car
i know some have bad opinions about hyundais' reliablity but they are quite decent in their smaller cars, and i seen hyundai claims the
G6BA 2.7l engine to be able to last 300k km
i would assume the first thing to go at a high milage car is the transmission, 4 speed automatic, does anyone have any experience with these trans and how much can they last in moderate driving?
Honestly older Hyundais have been able to last a good 200k miles because of the simple engine. I can't say for the 2.7 but the 2.0 paired with the 4 speed auto is pretty reliable my family actually has one. On the other hand, you should NEVER buy a Hyundai expecting 300k km out of it. Look for one with lower miles and have a mechanic check it out before purchase. I would skip on it but if you like it then it could be decent as a weekend car.
Of course Hyundai is going to say their cars will last. They need to sell them.
I would personally pass on it and go with a better option.
Are you familiar with any specific malfunctions in the car?
engine tranny?
Since the quality is not high (and since my family owns a Kia) I can say you should be ready for cosmetic, interior, electrical, AC issues and some other models like the Tiburon Coupe have clutch, transmission, and engine problems as the most common issues. Also the fact that Hyundai itself claimed that their car could do a reliable 180k miles (300k km) is sad. Only 180k! Think about that for a second...
