They weren't there then and they are still not quite there yet, but I agree, you get what you pay for. Hey look on the bright side, these Hyundai were running when it rusted out. Better than some other cars when the car is practically brand new after 3 years because they spent more time with mechanics than their owners; more time in shops than on the road. 99-02, that’s when Hyundai began building better cars.

You see, he is obsessed with Asia and all of its carmakers so Hyundai is one of his favorites. But when he claims how Hyundai is "safe, reliable, and" whatever else his usual rant says, we can all point to the fact that he is wrong. Not that this recall is THAT big of a deal (neither are SOME of all those recent Toyonda recalls) but they do prove that these Asian companies are no different than GM. They ALL have recalls, GM seems to have less though lately.

I doubt that many of them on the road. The lower segment of population does not maintain cars all that well (not some individuals, but on as a whole segment) so not so many 7 year old cars are running. I don't think they were that great to begin with. Even in high school parking lot I don't see Hyundai in my middle class town. And kids love new cars and usually cheapest because they can afford them. I'd say it is not a big deal one way or another.

This corner cutting shows up in durability problems as the car ages. Hyundai sells the sizzle, not the steak. Those who don't know cars can't tell the difference, especially when new.
