jimmy303 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Anyone work on a Hyundai Veracruz, yet? I tell you, this is not the same Hyundai of years past. They are definitely building some decent vehicles, and getting rather complicated. I installed an alarm w/ remote start and window roll-ups yesterday, and definitely needed some beers after I got home. Wow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hyundai and decent cars, is you nutz? that's almost as bad as jumbo shrimp or military intelligence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 yeah, wierd-sounding, but, work on one. I can only vouch for the Veracruz and Azera, so far. The Accent and Elantra are still disposable cars, as far as I have seen. But, have you seen the Genesis? Look it up.... http://www.hyundaigenesis.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Just because a car is hard or complicated to work on doesn't mean it's a good car. The electrical system (among other things) on my ma's Lincoln is a total nightmare to work on because of it's complexity, but it's still a total piece of shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I wasn't basing my opinion on wiring complexity, I was basing it on build quality, interior trim fit and finish, and how solidly everything fits together. You jump into a Chrysler, Ford, GM, Saturn, etc., and you can have half the dash apart in 2 minutes without using any tools.....this Hyundai made me work to see its innards.....

whtcrxghst Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Is that the one on the super bowl commercial that was $30k+? Maybe they are trying to make nicer cars now too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Most definitely. I thought the Azera was a step ahead for Hyundai, but the Genesis ----- now, I think they're just showing off......but still, I've gotta throw Kudos at them for a well-deserved pat on the back for joining the ranks of Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Toyota as a major player in the Asian Import market. Although I, personally, didn't think they would make it past the Excel. (Is anyone on this forum old enough to remember those, and the nearly life-threatening slices to your hands that the spring clips in the radio opening would surprise you with?)

Julius Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 You know I'm old enough to remember the Excel. My brother had one. Extremely good on gas.I didn't think they would last either, like the Yugo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
