    Yea those are all shit cars as well. I don’t think many would disagree. It turns out several different cars are shitty.

        I haven’t bought one yet so I’m probably not the right person to ask. Everyone I know with a Hyundai seems happy, though.

          People do like Hyundai’s EVs and I would definitely check them out when you’re looking, but don’t kid yourself that Hyundai also doesn’t have it’s own issues.

          For example people have been stealing Hyundai/Kia for years now due to faulty security software that makes it trivial. It was even a TikTok challenge.

            It wasn’t software though. It was an immobilizer chip, which is hardware, that they didn’t put in the car. They cheaped out on a part, sure, but it wasn’t faulty nor was it software.

              Oh shit i thought that was a software gone wrong they couldn’t easily update.

              That’s crazy.

              Edit: but they are doing software to fix it, which wasn’t always working at least initially. which still isn’t stopping all thefts. Thefts are still elevated with the update, but less than without.

              Edit: this might be why

              The institute’s report said theft claims may still be elevated for car models with the new software because the software-based immobilizer activates only if the key fob is used to lock the vehicle; if the driver uses the switch on the door handle, the anti-theft software is ineffective.
