Hello everyone
Just happened across your board today and wanted to say hi.
You have a very cool board and a lot of good information here.
Honestly, I never even knew their was an aftermarket for Hyundai. I haven't driven a Hyundai since I test drove a Sonata V6 back when they first came out. I liked it quite a bit.
How is the build quality and dependability of the Hyundai's now days? I know they used to get a bad rap, but I would think with a 100,000 mile standard warranty they must be very good now.
Anywho, just wanted to say you all had a good board here, and give you all props for modding your cars. I am a fan of all cars. (well, not minivans grrrrrrrrrrr)
Keep the mods coming.

*waves at Jax*
Welcome to the board. As for your question regarding Hyundai's quality and dependability...I've only had my Tib since November, but so far I haven't had any problems at all, nothing! smile.gif The car also seems to be very well put together. Very tight construction.
I actually researched info about Tibs for about a year before I bought mine, and the more I learned, the more I liked, so I bought one. I was impressed by the quality of cars that Hyundai is producing these days and I wouldn't be surprised if Hyundai's prices start climbing up a bit to match the quality of their products. (Though I loved getting this car for the price that I paid!) It seems that Hyundai is really putting a lot of effort into what they produce...everything from design and construction quality to power, standard features, warranty, etc. They are giving folks a lot for their money.

I agree with Sylvyr. I had mine since the beginning of Oct. No probs yet *knocks on wood*. I have put alot of miles on my since I have had it (almost 14,000 in 7mos). Alot of which were put on going to Jax. I drive my car har every day and so far it has put up to the beating I have given it.
You seem like a cool guy (even though you don't have a Hyundai yet. hehe lol) so if you are ever in Sav drop me line.
It is nice to see a TA owner that there are other cars beside American. Major props to you.

Whats up jax!
I must have been one of the lucky ones in the old days because I owned a 91 Hyundai and drove that thing for 130,000 miles with no problems, I then traded it for a Scoupe in
1994, at that time Rod Millen Motorsports was selling aftermarket parts for Scoupes. I thought my Scoupe was pretty phat till I test drove a Tiburon in febuary of 1997. My Tiburon has about 150.000 miles on it and still looks new!!!! By the way, I work for Saturn so I can answer any questions about your wifes car if you have troubles.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone.
Sounds like a lot of good experiences from Hyundai. Glad to hear that.
Autobot, you come to Jax pretty often?
Shirell, thanks for the offer. We have a wopping 28,000 miles on it. When under warranty, we had to have the water pump, alternator, plugs, wires, and ignition module replaced at about 20,000. Since then, I have replaced another alternator. I guess I can testify that the alternators DO suck! Other than that it's been a good car.
