I recently sold my 2004 Hyundai XG350L after owning it for three years. It was already older and had some miles on it, so I did end up doing a number of repairs on the car, but I feel that is normal for any 10+ year-old vehicle. After purchasing it with ~117,000 miles, I ended up replacing the head gaskets, power steering pump assembly, and the a/c compressor, as well as updating the media player. I also made some normal maintenance replacements: tires, brakes, battery. Pretty normal, I think. The issues I had were a radiator leak that could not be diagnosed (I had to make sure to top it off monthly), electrical problems (sunroof & frontseat overhead light panel never worked-it also developed a thing where it would lock the entire car when you closed the passenger front door). By the time I sold it, several dash lights were on. The airbag light came on a couple of months after I bought the car (after doing some research I found this issue has been reported before for this car, and might be related to the seat that automatically moves forward/backward, inadvertently disconnecting the airbag wires). I never had this problem diagnosed or fixed, though, because I believed it would be too expensive relative to the car's value. Over the last year that I had the car, the ABS brake light began turning on/off as well. It was coming time to replace the timing belt and, along with the other existing issues, I felt it was time to get a new car. Having said all that, I did really enjoy this car. It was affordable and had a lot of luxury features I'd never had before: leather seats, autodimming rearview mirror, heated seats, Infinity audio system, driver seat that automatically moved forward/backward to make entry easier, great climate controls, etc. I thought it was a neat car, and I even liked its fake wood paneling. To me, this car had character and pizazz. It's very roomy and comfortable if you regularly have two or more passengers. It is very comfortable to drive & accelerates pretty well (it does have a wide turning radius though-not the best for navigating in tight quarters). All in all, if you are on a budget and find one of these cars that has been well maintained, I'd recommend it.

I brought this car new and traded a 2001 Mercury Grand Marque in the deal. The Hyundai far exeeded my expectations and was far and away better than the Grand Marque in every area. I have owned many cars in my life and this is one of the best. I have driven it 58,000 miles with little or no problems.

In general I am quite please with my hyundai gx350. One thing that is troublsome is the poor gas mileage.The other problem is the lighting on the temp. gauge is impossible to read. It is a fun car to drive and it give a very smooth ride. I hardly recomend this car

I have had my eye on these since I spotted their reliability ratings in Consumer Reports. Clearly Hyundai had and earned a very poor reputation due to their early issues. They have come storming back, however. This car is not quite up to the level of Toyota (Avalon), Acura, or Lexus, but it is very close and a heck of a lot better value. I have only had it a short time, but if it holds up well, I may well find myself becoming as loyal to Hyundai as I have been to Toyota due to consistently superior quality and resale. NOTE: Gas mileage is not really as poor as people say. The issue is the drive by wire throttle and learning system. If you stomp the pedal, mileage will be very low.
