bought a 13 Altima new off the showroom floor. 2000 (two-thousand) miles later had to replace the engine, bad cam. At the same time had to replace the bad fuel pump. Warranty took care of all this but since then, Altima dealerships ( took it to three of them for the same problem) tell me they can't fix the vibration from the engine compartment. One of the dealerships told me it was normal. I asked, "so, when I first bought the car and it wasn't vibrating, that was abnormal?" The service manager rudely walked away and that was the last time I had anything to do with Nissan.

2012 Nissan Altima coupe. Super dependable. Almost at 200,000 miles and runs like a champ!

My father had a 3rd generation 2003 Elantra (first time he bought an Asian car). 5 speed manual, 2.0L Beta II engine. The Elantra was a pretty basic car at that time, but turned out to be the most reliable car he'd ever owned. He sold it to a co-worker friend in 2008 (when he was about to move out of the city) with 130K miles on it. That friend still owns the car today, which now has 287K miles on it, with mileage being about 85% highway. The only maintenance done were all normal items - no failures or issues so far. That, in part, is due to the vehicle living it's life in West Texas, so no corrosion worries. The 5th generation is where they switched to the Nu Engine, with the 1.8L in particular being the problematic one.

I like my 2020 Kia Forte LXS. No issues yet but one engineering complaint. I bought it in late 2020 so 21's were already on the lot. They all had this issue. You can't flip the wipers up to clean the windshield. The hood is in the way. Only one time I was able to shut the car off while the wipers were moving and they stopped. Pretty annoying when you are trying to wash your car and clean debree out.

My wife has a 2013 Hyundai Elantra With 182,000 miles on it we still get 25 in the city and 32 on the highway but we have a clicking noise in the front suspension every time we start or accelerate and the seats are horrible after sitting for about an hour you feel like your spine is going to break

[@domenickcuccherini2847]

Had a ‘16 Elantra that was totaled two years ago because some lady decided to rear end me at a stoplight, had that car since it was new. 56k trouble free miles on it Have owned a ‘17 Elantra Limited since then and it has been a great car. Bought it used with 14k miles and I’ve put 30k on it since then with routine maintenance. Hyundai has come a long way since the late 90s/Early 2000s.

My 2011 Altima has 115.000 km (10 years old as of now) and it has been the most reliable car I ever owned with ZERO issues so far. I can't say the same for previous cars such as Toyota Matrix, Mazda 5, German Passat 1.8T, Jetta as they all had issues along the way. The VWs were just bad, the Mazda had recurring front suspension issues, and the Matrix was OK-ish but would cup tires every 50K and too much of a bumpy ride, I got rid of it as fast as I could.

[@christopherjohnson3614]

Nissan lost its reliability and reputation in the 90s. I'd take the Hyundai over a Nissan, especially an Altma any day

[@bwest-yq3uc]

Sad, but true. Nissan used to be a good running quality automobile. Bad management is destroying the vehicle and the company. Their Leader had to escape like a "Prisoner of War", from Japan WW11 Legal System. He would have improve Nissan but did not get to carry it out. When I was in the military during Vietnam misunderstanding, drove something called a bluebird in Japan. The first Mazda I drove there, was a small, small 2 seater with a motorcycle engine under the seat. How far they have come. Mazda is a good car company. Going to all turbos and AWD vehicles, now.

[@trent7080]

Yet Nissan, it's subsidiaries, and parent organization is constantly the 3rd best-selling automaker globally.

[@djaftermath4313]

Great video but I wouldn't get neither vehicle to be honest. Congrats to Elantra but I've been several with brake lights out and other electrical type issues

I drive nights. 7 days a week. L.E.D. bulbs are GREAT .Never burnt an L.E.D. YET

[@V35_Obsidian]

I have a 2007 Altima 2.5 with the 6speed manual transmission. Bulletproof car, it has 320,000kms (200,000miles) on it and the only thing that has been changed is the wheel bearings. Still drives like new. Nissan makes great reliable vehicles when you do not go with their automatic or CVT transmissions.

[@JiltedValkyrie]

One of the only Nissan cars I'd buy is a Leopard, but they are insanely expensive to import due to their usage in a Japanese TV show. One day maybe...

[@HerbertoG6]

Hi Scotty! Have a good night sir!

[@Vpzoe]

2012 Elantra off the floor. Got me through "Snowpacalypse" while small trucks and Nissan 300's were stranded left and right. With waze (sniffing out smokies) I averaged 75mph from DC to Arkansas and held a 110mph octave more than a few times on DC highways. Regular maintenance kept her running smooth through 180K, but my move back to Houston heat/humidity was a shock. Hanging in there, but since 2020 I've gotten new head/taillight assemblies, a battery, alternator, O2 sensor, serpentine belt, shocks, struts, and rebuilt the tranny, Luckily, I've got a parts guy, did most of the work myself, and had a good mechanic for the heavier stuff. Since I hardly did anything more than tires and regular maintenance up till then, I'm ok with the 10yrs (on the dot next month) and 195,000 miles so far. She earned the hardware.

Hi Mr. Kilmer, we have 2016 Hyundai Elantra and at this it has 77K with absolutely no problems at all. Hyundai has really came a long way from their first car they produced the Hyundai Excel.

[@JustinPennito]

As I said in another one of your videos, the Elantra N DCT is what I'll be trading my 2021 K5 in for, when it hits the dealers & check out all these positive comments from people with older Elantras & how reliable they were. Those Elantras can achieve the same mileage of a Corolla & for the ones with engine problems, Hyundai is making it right, as you touched on. They're even giving them lifetime engine warranties, I mean, you can't beat that.

[@justingalasso1850]

What are your thoughts on a 2006 elantra? I just got a hell of a deal on a super clean one for just $1700! It just had a couple minor quirks like a broken hood latch and it needed a valve pan gasket. Grabbed both things the very next day and installed them and now I'm yet to find any other issues. It looks better than most used cars on the lots going for 5 grand or more. The check engine light isn't even on! I also added a cold air intake just for fun too. It runs great.

[@michaelangelo6378]

Dump the air intake and go back to stock.

[@dougn2350]

@@michaelangelo6378 ... I agree. Those cold air intakes are false. The stock induction pulls air from outside the super hot engine compartment.

[@picomanbungace4035]

@@dougn2350 I mean unless it was an actual cold air intake. But I mean an Elentra isn’t gonna see any benefit from one anyways, just a difference in sound.

Elantra is an alright car. Know people with plenty of miles on them. Not as many miles are a civic but

Hi Scott! I'm driving a Hyundai Elantra 2018 1.6 european model and it's a great car, has only 62000 km on it and performs very well. Has a great trunk space 458 kg and a lot of interior space. In the city shows 10-10.5 liters per 100km, outside the city dont know yet. The car has great features and looks really nice.

No doubts I saw the Hyundai Elantra in mechanic workshop two weeks ago and I asked what's the problem he said engine problem that it needs to be rebuilt
