Honda is better than Hyundai read this.? |
|
I have two cars, a 05 hyundai sonata with 14000 miles, and a 87 honda accord with 276000 miles. My sonata has had many problems, about a month ago I has been headed to work in the sonata, and the electrical system failed on the freeway, everthing as well as the engine shut off, I coasted to the side of the road, I couldn't get out because you must press the unlock button, I was stuck in my car for four hours and was late to work, then I got fired. I took the car into the dealer and they said it was good, as I pulled out of the parking spot at the hyundai dealership, the car stayed in reverse making this grinding sound, I put the shifter in park and the electrical system failed locking me in the car again, the dealership had to open the doors manually causing damage, that proved to the dealership that there was a problem, but the dealership won't cover it because my last oil change was at a differant hyundai dealer while I was on vacation,so I payed for it myself taking out a second loan for my car, some weeks afterward my sister took my car to walmart, while on the freeway the power steering locked up, she rear ended a ford in front of her at 75 mph and the airbags didn't deploy, I'm filing a recall on my so not a good car, and thank goodness she weared her seat belt, and wasnt in a e launch ra through the windsheild. I'm so pissed. but my 1987 honda accord hasnt had a single problem and it has 276000 miles on it, I'm to get rid of my hyundai and purchasing a new accord, take my advice, purchasing a generic cheap peice of crap like a hyundai and a kia isn't worth it, pay for the leader like honda and not the coppier, have you checked out the looks of the new sonata and accord, they're same, and that disgusts me that generic businesses think that they can come close to competing with honda and toyota.

Does your sister not know how to use the brakes? I'd have to agree with vwdave about you not getting out of your car. Do you not know how to operate a door handle?
Ok, now that I got that out of my system.Hyundai isn't a "generic cheap part of crap" as you call it. Who knows, you may just have gotten a bad car.it happens with all makes, not just Hyundai. I'm a proud Hyundai owner and plan on owning Hyundais for the rest of my life. they're the best car you may be able to get for the price. Why pay more for less options? you're just another person who can not see past what Hyundai used to be and see what they became.a respectable car company.

Wow, what a awful experience. But I could never purchase a Hyundai over a Honda, I have had great experience with Hondas myself in the past. I do not think you may be able to beat their dependability and longevity.

I'm with you. I am on my third Honda and I told my sweet hubby the other day I never want anything other than a Honda again. We had a Volvo V70 T5 wagon that cost us an arm and a leg every time we had it serviced. It went thru tires like they were paper. I LOVE my Honda.

All I can say is that I hope your lying, because if you were locked in your car for four hours, then you're clearly too stupid to realize that you may unlock the door without power. You know that little thing called the inner door handle has a manual lock/unlock switch right on it all four doors hey that is one door an hour . Anyway I am calling B.S. to your story and the next time you want to bash someones product do not do it on the internet, too many people really take it to heart.
P.S. check the dependability reports that jd power puts out you may be shocked by what you read

Your story is hard to believe. I agree with the other answerers that maybe it's your fault and not the cars. read the holders manual or ask help about operating a motor car before starting to drive again if you ever could. Also while you're at it, check out the JD Power and Associates' report about Hyundai beating Toyota and Honda in dependability.

I like to think of Hyundais and Kia's as disopable cars..they are cheap and will get you around for some years. But I imagine in ten years to landfills full of these crap cars.
Honda's and Vw's with a little love will last forever. I really do not think the great scheme of things paying $5000 or so more for a Honday is not that much.especially when things like what happen to you happened. It may have cost your life the accident.

so you have to not be to bright just unlock your door with the knob
by your door handle and get out sounds like you have customer remorse if you Honda is so good why did you but another car
