Hooked on Hyundai’s

August 26, 2010 by , under Real Owners, Real Owners, Real Stories.

We have been permanently hooked on Hyundai’s since my first Elantra was purchased from a Winter Park Florida Dealer in 1997. That Elantra endured Route Driver punishment to the tune of 223,000 miles. It required only routine maintenance during Hurricanes, excessive heat, torrential downpours, and many Florida backroads. I still was able to sell it at a reasonable price. Since then we have had a Santa Fe, and we currently own another Elantra, and a divine Sonata. My son is seriously considering a Genesis. We are a Hyundai committed family.

Mr. Dependable

August 26, 2010 by , under Real Owners, Real Owners, Real Stories.

So the name Mr. Dependable is one I share wholeheartedly with my beloved Hyundai. I remember car shopping online before venturing out into the automotive wilderness. Set on an American made SUV, I stumbled upon Mr. Dependable as I waited for a salesman. Captivated by the plush interior and luxury styling, this had to be my first test drive. A clean, silver and chrome 6 cyl. XG350I with a nice sound system and all the bells and whistles an interior should have.

Within an hour I had signed the papers to bring a new and reliable car into the family. Five years later and we have earned the reputation of being the most reliable ones on the road. Friends break down and we are called to action. Family needs a ride to and from various locations and we are the ones they seek out.

Over the last year I have become caregiver to my elderly grandparents. Taking them to doctors appointments and shopping are now a daily occurrence. With the life of my grandparents in my hands, I’m truly thankful I found the vehicle that perfectly compliments me and my responsibilities. Almost 100,000 miles in 6 years and I can still rest easy knowing that my Hyundai will be there when I need him most.

REAL OWNER, REAL STORY

In 2002, I opened my eyes to every 16 year old girl’s birthday wish… a brand new, white, two-door, sporty Hyundai Tiburon. Eight years later, my memories and odometer hit 100,000 miles. If only it could speak, the stories my car would tell…
