Ode to my Hyundai
My little car that could. I have had it for almost 8 years from new, drove GREAT! for the first 5 years, had two major repairs after that (when it rains it pours) engine head, and computer went out, but no small problems at all! couldn't bring myself to trade in because no other car could match it for veratility, or gas mileage. I got 33MPG on mixed driving. I will miss you!
A solid little car
Love my Hyundai. Bought this car from the dealer with 7K miles on it and haven't had any major problems. drivers side window mechanisim broke 33 bucks to fix, less than an oil change. Also broke a bolt in the front pass suspension $8 dollar fix. Though its light in the horsepower still a fun little car to drive.
Best car ever
Bought 1996 with salvage title with 2811 miles manual transmission on it for 3K. Replaced few body parts, painted them, and put it to use. Changed fluids religiously, did regular maintenance, first set of brakes at 104K, alternator at 170K, and donated it at 183K with original clutch after 23 years. Regularly got 44mpg in summer months - no AC in it though. Ran like a go cart, and never dripped a speck of fluid under it. Like I said, the best car ever. It never left me stranded.
