    They’re all style, interior comfort, features now, sadly the important things in a car like making sure the powertrain is dependable, electrical things don’t short and cause fire, isn’t stupid easy to steal, making sure warranty and recall work is done right all take a backseat to those two. People like to say “all car companies have problems” and they’re right, but they’re also missing the pattern of HyunKia stupid cost-cutting repeatedly biting buyers in the butt who have to deal with it. And half-assed recall “fixes”. And needing to be sued to care for owners of their many engines. Some models might be better than others, some years, but it’s not worth the risk.
