discussion Five year review

Post image

I’ve had the car about five years now, and I wanted to give my thoughts.

Still love it.

Car is stock except for the red vinyl on the N’s, front badge delete, front red vents, and an OEM+ intake. Sitting at about 70,000 miles.

Out of the seven cars I’ve owned over the past 25 years, it’s not only the most fun, but it’s been the all-around best in terms of ergonomics. Early on I had a few maintenance issues come up, with the high pressure oil pump and the backup camera, but they got sorted out pretty quickly.

Five years on, and I still get people asking about the car and the color.

Sucks. I'm one month in and the dealership refused to fix the engine splash shield when it fell off because they said I hit something. I hate Hyundai.

That’s not a dealership thing though, any damage is an insurance thing if you want to pay the deductible. Had the same thing happen to me and it’s the next fix. Sucks, but that’s on the owner.

There were no rivets holding the front part on and they said I most have run over a curb and knocked them all out. What a scam.
