<==== (* was actually considering a Hyundai when shopping for the first of 3 Contiques *)
I've liked the Hyundai cars ever since about the '93 model year. They seem well built, were getting much better reliability reviews, design was better than previous models, and you just can't beat a 5 year warranty. They were plain little cars, but very worthy of a look if all you wanted was basic transportation.
I know a young lady who has owned 2 elantra models, and got 200k out of the first one before trading it for her current elantra. The new car now has 150k on it & is running strong, few problems, and what trouble she did have was minor. Additionally, the customer support/service was always good.
The dealer treated her well when she did have engine issues with the first car. I'd consider one just for the dealer support she's gotten.
