The 10 year/ 100,000 miles warranty is un-beatable. I spoke to couple friends & co-workers who owns KIA or Hyundai, they all said the warranty is great, but they never needed it anyway. A reliable car with great warranty, no other auto makers can match. see full Hyundai Elantra review

Hyundai has gone from bottom of the bucket to top tier automobile in--my opinion--less than 10 years. To me, this fact alone speaks volumes about the company itself. The Elantra is a fantastic competitor to the Civics, Sentras and Corollas out there. see full Hyundai Elantra review

I always thought of Hyundais as unreliable cars. The only reason I took a chance on this car was because of the warranty. see full Hyundai Elantra review

Horrible trade in value. I was actually told by a dealer that they did not want my car!! It was a year old, excellent condition with 30k miles. They said resale is horrible for hyundai. see full Hyundai Elantra review

Remains one of the best luxury values around with cache. You get a lot when you get an RX, but give up only a little bit of handling and gas mileage. Why would anyone want to buy a highlander instead of this??? see full Lexus RX review

Lexus is rated No.1 for quality, fewest defects and highest owner satisfaction every year. I believe they have been voted No.1 for twelve years in a row. see full Lexus RX review
