I still have a pile of VW and Sunbeam parts
sinking into the dirt under my back deck.
My wife bought a 2004 Hyundai Elantra straight in
2005 and I was really impressed with it. Then
she traded that for a 2006 Sonata slide-o-matic
and that has been our daily driver for the past
four years. (I AM a geezer, at 63, and am very
much retired, while Pam works at home in senior
medical management, so we rarely 'daily
drive'.) Now, she is buying her son-in-law's
2003 Santa Fe for me, a straight, of course: I
have never owned a slide-o-matic and shall never
do so. When I cannot figure out which gear to be
in, well, then it is time for me to be off the road.
The Koreans build great cars. We put a thousand
miles on a Kia in Ireland a decade back and
another thousand on another one in Alaska seven years ago.
Hyundai seems to be the most profitable car maker
in the world at present, and I can see
why. Wonderful cars, wonderful service.
