Subject: Hyundai / Kia is a great brand now - [Edit Post]

In my immediate family we've had 6 in the last 10 years. BIL had old Sportage that made it to 100k and replaced with another Sportage. My mom drives an older Tuscon. Dad used to have a Genesis coupe. In laws had a Sorrento which was only sold to get my MIL into something cheaper.

They're best bought used though as they depreciate pretty fast. We have a 2014 Santa Fe Sport 2.0T that we bought new. Sticker on it was $35k+ but no one pays full price either at new. It's the FWD version but I just put light truck tires on it and it's been great but haven't had to deal with too much snow this year. The same model year with low miles should be under $20k. The base engine is cheaper even though it's just as quick.

The Tuscon got updated in 2016 and can also be found for under $20k

Alas, the 2000 Jetta TDI has finally given out - Gnorst 15:23 02/13/2018

Godspeed to the last of the MkIVs - Ceorl 15:35 02/13/2018

This might just be my favorite topic to offer advice on ;) - Ceorl 15:53 02/13/2018

Awesome! Here's some initial thoughts - Gnorst 16:09 02/13/2018

What's your budget look like? - NT - Mythus 17:04 02/13/2018

Under 15K I'd say - Gnorst 17:15 02/13/2018

There's a good lot in that price point. Check out Car Gurus - Ganelon 18:06 02/13/2018

THAT'S the one I really liked when I was looking before - Gnorst 18:26 02/13/2018

Honda Fit - Mythus 17:31 02/13/2018

Found a ton of stuff on Autotrader, including a CX-5 for ~$15k - Ceorl 17:23 02/13/2018

Polite cousins - Gnorst 17:25 02/13/2018

Just have your mechanic take a look at it - Ceorl 17:31 02/13/2018

He's a VW/Audi specific guy :) - Gnorst 17:42 02/13/2018

I'm sure he knows a guy then - Ceorl 09:34 02/14/2018

Cars are cars. - Jouk 04:28 02/15/2018

We have specialty shops here in the US - Ceorl 10:03 02/15/2018

I'm going to ask him - Gnorst 10:38 02/15/2018

I drive a CX-5 - Ceorl 16:28 02/13/2018

very solid - I enjoy my subu a lot but I would have been happy with the mazda - NT - Rom 10:20 02/14/2018

Mazdas are horribly badly rust proofed. - Jouk 03:00 02/14/2018

What model year are we talking about here? - Ceorl 09:20 02/14/2018

Those were around early to late 2000's models. - NT - Jouk 11:09 02/14/2018

als the older CX-7 had terrible engine problems (that mazda didnt want to solve) - milkman 07:03 02/14/2018

Blame the Ford engines ;) - Ceorl 09:18 02/14/2018

Isn't the 2.3 DISI turbo mostly Mazda made? - Jouk 11:13 02/14/2018

Was back in the Ford-owned days for sure - Ceorl 11:22 02/14/2018

Good to hear some testimony - Gnorst 17:23 02/13/2018

truthaboutcars.com is good - NT - Mythus 17:36 02/13/2018

Hyundai / Kia is a great brand now - Mythus 16:45 02/13/2018

I've been reading that a lot as I research - NT - Gnorst 18:03 02/13/2018

Absolutely. Kia is rock solid post-2009. - NT - Ganelon 17:57 02/13/2018

I know they've made huge strides in the last 20 years - Ceorl 16:51 02/13/2018

There's some great cars coming out from them this year - Mythus 17:02 02/13/2018

Yep, saw the Stinger at the Detroit Auto Show - Ceorl 17:05 02/13/2018
