Used 2002 Hyundai XG350 Consumer Reviews
Fun car to own and drive
The first time my wife drove the new car, someone stopped her and asked about her new "Mercedes". When my son and daughter-in-law saw it, they thought it was a Porsche. We bought this car because it offers the luxury we want at a moderate price, plus a great warrenty. I love the Shiftronic transmission, which is close to straight drive, while wifey prefers the auto. The 3.5 has enough "pep" with the 5 speed to climb hills and pass easily. We have only had it a week, but are really enjoying it.
best car ever
We bought this car in 2002 brand new off the truck with all the Korean shipping sticker still on it. To make this story short 60,000 miles drove it from Colorado to Arizona from Arizona to south Florida then from south Florida back to AZ and 6 trips from Phoenix to San Diego and back. The only repairs it ever needed were the alternator needed replaced this year and a small leak in the low pressure side of the power steering hoses. It is still running the original plugs and brakes and the dealer said the disc pads have at least 10,000 miles left on them this car was built to run at speed on the highway and the body styling is awesome. The made a mistake when they changed it in 04
very good
very nice for long trips
Too Much Trouble
I bought this car becasue it had a good rating and it was much less expensive than a Toyota Camray or a Honda Accord and was very well equipped for the money. It has a quiet and very smooth ride at the expense of handling. I have had nothing but serious pronblems with the car including replacing the transmission twice! The tires lasted less than 35K miles and the front brakes and rotors had to be replaced at 55K miles. The rotors were warped and the dealer would not turn them on warranty. It cost $815 to have the timing belt and serpentine belt replaced which must be done at 60K miles to keep the warranty. I had to replace the battery after 2 years and 1 month!
Ear-to-Ear Grin
I rate vehicle ride quality for a living. I've driven many different vehicles. The XG350L that I own is on par with cars that cost thousands of dollars more. In fact, the only vehicle that I've driven that had better ride quality was a Lexus LS400, several years ago. So far, I am very happy with my purchase. The car is fun and very comfortable. It looks fantastic. The heated seats are perfect for the northern climate I live in (my wife loves the seats too. She can turn the heated seat on and the heater can be turned down, making me more comfortable). The sound system is fantastic. What a great car!
