Hyundai Elantra Ranks 2nd on $16,000 and under test.

Now thumb through the magazine past the contenders:
10th place, Kia Spectra 68 points
9th place, Suzuki Aerio GS 73 points
8th place, Nissan Sentra GXE 82 points
6th place tie, Dodge Neon SXT 83 points
6th place tie, Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z 83 points
5th place, Honda Civic LX 87 points
4th place, Ford Focus SE 88 points
3rd place, Toyota Corolla LE 90 points
2nd place, Hyundai Elantra GLS 91 points
1st place, Mazda Protege LX 92 points

Although the Elantra appears to have won over the reviewers, there are still some aberrations in the scoring. The evaluation rails on Honda for poor build quality including body panels and interior issues as well as spotty paint. However, the Civic is awarded a score of 8 for fit and finish - the same as the Elantra. Further, the writers acknowledge that the Elantra is a fantastic value yet in the category of value only give it a 7 while the most expensive car in the test, the Protege scores an 8. A close call for first place, for certain!

He's a Hyundai enthusiast, he just wants you to acknowledge their existence, if not praise them. Maybe he's just weary because he sees Koreans not driving or accepting their own cars. Or he just wants to prove how good Korean cars are compared to others.

Oh.

so what's the point? =\


all of us know that hyundai exists.. but I fail to see how some SCC review ranking them at #2 on some list, without seeing any real hard factual evidence means anything.

Do you have any Numbers?

lol like car-life-expectancy?

its called craftsmanship.

No its not retarded... why is Hyundai the number 1 value?? If you know about the Korean Won... it has less value than American money.... geez.

lets say that Hyundai was a Japanese car... Hyundai's would be expensive.


Again, I owned 3 Korean cars.. I can believe my self and my choice of buying korean cars...

I had a 1995 ACcent as my first car for 3 months(I wrecked it) with 210,000 miles on it.. i drove it Michigan to Virginia 3 times. and had no problems... well except brake wear.



I think its retarded when people say.. you get what you pay for.. thats retarded... everybody knows that American money is so powerful.


KOrean cars can match the quality of alot of Japanese cars.. Car and driver used to have Hyunda's last place in those test.. now they are 2nd..

I keep writing all this shit, but you guys don't listen.. i'm going to say it one more time.... if you don't own it.. then don't say shit about it.


Geez.. ALways the Korean forums where i get the most beef.

Oh yeah.. and thats why my uncle who is Germen.. traded in his 1999 CIvic for a Elantra because the civic's interior dash were squeaking. and the wheel bearings starting to make noise at 15,000 miles.. thats why... until now.. he still has the same Elantra with only one problem.. just a cracked Gas cap that causeed a Check engine light.

they sell the cars for USD just like the japanese.

Man your a idiot

The car is of Korean value...

a japanese car is in Japanese value.

a car that cost 16,000,000 won would be about 14,000 heere.


the korean won is less in value than american money.. moron.

i dunno... if Hyundais are that good for their value, they wouldn't need the backing of a 10-year 100,000-mile warranty.

what kind of car do you have?




Example;

USD = 10 Korean Currency - 2

Thus it takes 5 KC's to make 1 USD.


a car that cost 20KC's in korea costs 4USD in america.

they both cost the same amount due to conversion of currency.

You can buy the car in korea for 20 KC's and it'll cost you the same amount as it does if you buy it in america.

Where you buy it doesnt matter.

you're so abusively retarded.

[edit]

do mankind a favor and never have children.
