[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey Car Nut-- I know people often think of Hyundai as a crappy vehicle, but is this really true?  Or is it just a carry over from years ago?  How does a Hyundai Elantra compare to a Honda Civic or Toyota Corrolla long term?[/quote]

Car Nut here :-) No, Hyundai's are much better than a decade ago, would pick a Hyundai product any day over a VW product. Honda/Toyota still a notch above Hyundai, but Hyundai have higher rebates on newer car and comes in at a lower cost. I think lifetime cost for Hyundai versus Honda/Toyota would be around the same assuming you get good rebates/discounts when acquiring Hyundai. Hyundai has higher depreciation, but depreciation is often measured as MSRP minus market price of used car, if you're able to negotiate a nice price on the Hyundai you can negate the (perceived) higher deprecation (than Honda/Toyota) and lifetime cost would be approx the same. How do you get a nice price on a car? If a dealer has spend 2 hour or more on trying to get your business, take their "best" price, minus $1-2k and start walking out the door, they'll almost always reduce their price immediately.

Best of luck :-)[/quote]
