That's a great story every mechanic should endure when they tell you there is nothing wrong with your car!
A friend who bought his wife a Mercedes said not to get a Kia but I don't remember why. He is a helicopter pilot and is pretty knowledgeable on mechanics and checks out things carefully before purchasing.

PS. Hyundais are made in Alabama by people who care!
