Hyundai Forums...

Hey, I've been reading through. I do every day, more than once. I've been a member here for what seems like forever. I ask myself all the time ."What exactly is it that is so great about Mercedes to begin with?" The guys in the Hyundai, Honda, and Nissan forums only talk about mods, performance increases, drifting, and speed... They never talk about problems, because they just don't have problems. All anyone ever talks about in this forum, is "Why doesn't ma' damned Mercedes start in the mornin?" and "I did this, that, and the other thing to it, but now this other thing is giving me problems". I'm a Mercedes guy to the heart. I've got about 20 of these cars, and almost never have a single issue with any of them, and I use them daily, and drive them hard.. My question to all of you is: "How is it that you all have these problems with these cars? If you have so many problems, consider a Honda...and leave the Mercedes to me.

For the last 20+ years I've driven Mercedes only...I've owned some other cars at the same time but they all have been as a second car.
Perhaps the guys in the Nissan, Honda, Toyota etc forums are talking only about speed mods etc but you have to consider that the average Mercedes car here in this forum is about 20 years old, some of the members here are driving cars with 250 K +...how many Nissan's do you know with even 150K on them and still be used as a daily driver rain or snow??

Long live the Mercedes

You mean people waste life away talking on a website devoted to a car that everyone and their mother drives around in and can easily afford? Its a Hyundai for God sake. No matter what it is a normal everyday type of car. Its not some Lamborghini that cost $400,000.

This forum is mostly dedicated to diesel W123's that cost their owners well under $5K. Cheaper than a Hyundai. I'd call a Mercedes a normal every day car too. Like you said, not a 400K Lamborghini. I'd make an exception for the AMG models that have stupid amounts of power.

I am trying to envision a $400,000 Hyundai.


Just can't.
