hyundais

hey guys, i'm new here. and i've noticed every where i go ppl hate hyundais..why is that??

Because thier first cars that people remember (The Pony and Stellar) were the biggest piles of shit out there, as were the Lantra (Gen I), Scoupe, Sonata (Gen I-IV) and Excel that followed it.

Thier cars are better these days, but people take a long time to get over anything.

My theory is that it's one of the only car manufacturers that the import loving kids can make fun of. I mean, if you're driving around in a Civic what other manufacturer can you point and laugh at for being slow and under powered? Ford/Chevy/Dodge guys get a good laugh at the Honda/Toyota/Nissan guys, so the Honda/Toyota/Nissan guys have to laugh at he Hyundai/Kia/Daiwoo guys.

My father owned an '86 Excel. It wasn't fast by any means but it sure as hell wouldn't quit running. The damn thing took a beating! 3 teenagers learned to drive on it, my sister ran it into a parked car for God's sakes but the thing never quit. Not a bad car at all for the money.

lol, i'll agree with the underpowered, well atleast for the older models. I own a 2000 tib I4. That thing is so slow, but the handling is great. The new ones one the other hand, i have some respect for. The V6 GT's are pretty fast. My friend took me in a ride in his, and I was thrown way off gard. I wasn't expecting it to be that fast.

My friend just bought a Silver '05 Tiburon GT, not bad for the price, its actually quite nice. I dont have a problem with Tiburons, you dont see them being riced out like Civics. The only thing I dislike about the car is that the backseat is so damn small, smaller than the backseat in my Prelude.

I Think that the tiburons have pretty fast at picking up for 00 and up. i've drove my buddys he has a 00 that all stock and mine isn't so i can't talk much about that one.
