The Hyundai was a 1989.

Knock on wood ... er eh plastic. My 1992 Hyundai is still looking good. Not a single piece of plastic has broken or obviously aged excessively.

I've had wonderful results with Hyundai Excel, and Hyundai Elantra. Now I hear they are opening a plant to employ 4000 in Alabama.

Those cars are tough. I hit a deer with my 2002 Elantra this year, only thing that broke was a headlight. It still worked, but the glass cover was cracked. Not only that, it stopped on a dime, or there would have been a lot more damage.

And you can't beat the price. We got 3.4 financing, and the car, brand new and perfect, was under 12K, AC standard, many extras.
