^ I bought a close relative a CPO Sonata recently. Mostly because of the 10 year warranty. After about six months I realize that every month of that warranty is going to be necessary. Or maybe econo boxes have a build quality that I was overestimating. I was similarly unimpressed with the VW, Honda, Kia, GM and Ford options in that category/price point, which are actually above econo box when I think about it, more like family sedan. The Hyundai salesman told me that the high end model (Equs?) will be sold under a new luxury spin off brand. So far I'm not impressed with their service departments. If you didn't buy the car at that particular dealer they don't want to hear about any funny sounds its suddenly making.

I would ask for a discount on the car being that I won't be needing the warranty hahaha.

Truthfully though - I know of many hyundai's that are working well over 100k on the clock with basic maintenance. As for all makes and models, some just have issues. ****************, my boxster the first years of it's life lived at the dealership between, rms, ignition, power steering lines, the list goes on.
