I bought a 2017 Hyundai and so far it's 2020 I'm super impressed. I'm just going to echo every thing Scotty said, such as the car just doesn't feel sporty or perform very well at all, but it really feels very durable and well build cars. A really good example is the oil capacity my engine is very tiny but it hold a quite a huge amount of oil, that does 2 things larger quantity of oil helps the oil stay cooler because it's a larger mass of matter to heat up, second thing is if you have a dumb teenager a girl who never changes the oil, with a larger reserve the car can last much longer if you are dumb enough to not change the oil, and no I'm not saying i recommeng that I'm just stating it was well designed for anything. Koreans did their I'm very impressed

Underrated cars, these. Had a 16 Elantra GT, on the same platform as this and it was trouble free in the 50k miles I put on it. Sold it for something a bit bigger and better in snow, but it was a good car and it had 173hp for the GT, so it was pretty damned zippy with that 6 speed auto. I took an Uber from the airport recently and the guy was using a '15 Forte that already had 140k. He had no repair type issues, just usual maintenance stuff, like oil, tires, etc. I know Scotty is all about Toyota but these Korean cars are serious contenders now. and more than likely a safer bet than most US, Euro and even some Japanese brands(Nissan, looking at you.

Everybody whos saying this car was overpriced, lets do the math. 2017 car with 72K+ on the odo = a standup 23, 000 miles a year. The only way a rental fleet car gets to that mileage in that little time is doing good long highway cruises, unless you think ppl rent these things to drive around town & deliver pizzas If (IF) its been kept in clean fluids for that lifespan, I say this car could well be a little hidden gem, rental fleet or no. Price is fair enough since it throws zero codes and had no live data out of range. (But Id still change the ATF and coolant TODAY just to be on the safe side, though)

To me, no matter how cheap or affordable the car may be, the main thing for me is the longevity. I believe Toyota overall have higher % in which many of them can run more than 250, 000 miles. Toyota is just overall more reliable in the long run. We have 2003 Echo, it was one of the bottom line Toyota made that year. It has little over 120, 000 but runs like a champ, gets over 39 MPG with no problem with very little maintenance. And cheap to maintain. BTW I drive 1974 Celica, 18RC engine with Aisan Carb. still driving at over 350, 000 miles. So again, it is the longevity what counts.

Pretty straightforward and reliable car. The 2. 0 Litre engine uses timing chains and regular multi-port fuel injection. No turbos to rebuild or direct injection carbon issues to deal with. Old school 6 speed torque converter transmission. No CVTs to worry about replacing or expensive dual-clutch service headaches. Simple torsion beam rear axle. Nothing too exciting, but still a decent, solid commuter compact vehicle.

I've bought Kia's and Hyundai's since 2010, and haven't had any issues with none of them. My wife has a loaded out 2019 Hyundai Sonata Limited we bought new for 22, 000 and I would put it up against any other car made. I have a 2012 Kia Soul that I drive for work and has over 220, 000 miles on it and have done nothing but normal maintenance on it and it's still running and driving great. I'll keep buying them.

Scotty, I always hear you say TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC LIKE ME AND HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT, when buying a used car or truck. Can or do you have a list of recommended mechanics that are trustworthy? And do you take new customers as I am only 100 miles from Houston. If you dont have any recommended mechanics, you should start your own coalition of honest mechanics and shops. Just a thought, thank you for your time.

I have a 2014 forte that I bought new in 2013. It has 136, 000 km on it now. The only thing that ever broke was the brake lines running along the length of the car rotted out and had to be replaced. I guess they used cheap steel because my sons 2006 Corolla never had a single thing break either except last year the rubber hose from the windshield washer reservoir split, cost 50 dollars to fix.
