Anything is fun to drive if you're brave enough.

Totally reminds me of my teen years. I got airborne in a couple vehicles. The two that achieved the greatest altitude were my parents' VW van and a neighbour's '69 Olds Cutlass. Also managed - and I don't know how - to drive on two wheels (passenger side wheels) for at least 100m in the VW van. Those were the days!

Only 4 wheeled vehicle i have ever been off the road in was a 1.7 Diesel Vauxhall Astra. It was a work car. Late at night. I was on a callout barrelling down a country road at... well... At least 60mph and then out of nowhere is a roundabout and i went sailing right over it into the air and landed some distance down the road. There were ugly tyres marks on the grass bank. The car landed hard, lots of crunch and tyre squeal. Kept it on the road though. What can i say. I think many years of mis-spent youth playing Grand Theft Auto prepared me. I'm not sure if i did any permanent damage to the car. It was a wreck anyway. Used to spew black smoke and It was on its 2nd gearbox and had done 178,000 miles when i did that. I think the engine threw a rod a few weeks after that.

Even on a very basic level, think about how limited your new car options are today if you don't want a likely-problematic straight-GDI, Turbo or a push-belt CVT in your car.

My daughter as a 2014 Accent with 95,000 miles on it. I decided to do a transmission drain and fill and coolant drain and fill PM for her. If you are considering a Hyundai, beware that you will have a terrible time looking up information regarding part numbers. I even called Hyundai customer service USA so I can talk to a person and get a transmission level plug gasket part number so i can order one on line. After being on hold for over 5 minutes, they could not supply me with a part number. I gave them the VIN# but that wasn't enough for them to find the part number. They suggested I take the car to the dealer so they could see the car. So that is what I had to do. Also, I had to call the dealer regarding the process of checking the fluid level since there is no dip stick. I called two different dealers and got two different answers on how it is done. Very frustrating dealing with Hyundai.

Update:
91k Kms. Still no dramas. Only thing I don't like is the brakes and it's vague to drive. The reliability side is a no issue. I like the brakes on the Toyota it's progressive. This thing takes longer to come to a stop. If you know what I mean. Also how it handles speed humps is not as plush.My main issue is the brakes maybe because a year ago I started left foot braking lol. Kia needs to improve the driving feel and brakes on this and i would be happy with it. I think Toyota is better I recently drove the corolla 2018 model that thing drove magnificent. Heavy steering feel. Car feels planted and the brakes you touch it and it grabs and slows the car down with out much effort. I like that more. More my style and pleasant to drive around town where someone stop abruptly you are confident this thing will stop on a dime. Would we buy another KIA? NO!! I think we are trading for a Mazda lol. |
