How Reliable is your Hyundai?!

[TFR]

How's your Hyundai?! Just how reliable are the modern hyundais? Lets Face it, Hyundai has been suffering from a branding stigma that "hyundais are not reliable but its cheap"..... The kind of stigma that they are trying to shake off to date.. My Santa Fe was my first hyundai or korean car for that matter, and its not cheap... I bought it during the height of popularity of the toyota fortuner and the debut of the 3rd gen CRV which was both cheaper then by a few hundred K's than my santa fe.... I had my sights on the fortuner but had second thoughts after riding one... had put a reservation on the CRV, because my previous ride was a honda and simply had no complaints whatsoever with it. But again hesitant because a friend who got one ahead of me complains gas guzzling.... This made me consider my present ride, the CRDi Santa Fe.... My ride at the time(no bragging intended) was an e36 318i an isuzu pickup and ford ranger pinatubo. My Family also owns different japanese and european cars so why a hyundai?

Because at the time the sales rep at the showrooms is of no help why this thing is more expensive than its target competition, the internet answered my questions. So I gambled... Bought it and brought it home, still thinking if I made the right decision.. 5 years and 140K km later.... Im glad I bought this.... Through the years I learned more about this car and the company... I know now why its more expensive... the technology and materials used in producing this car is better than its competitors class equivalent. So Is it reliable? Hell yeah!! My ford and our toyota had more problems during its course of ownership.... I just hope that hyundai continue producing quality cars and HARI continue to improve their service... a big part of having satisfying ownership of a car is having a problem free after sales service.....
