Toyota Wants $500 From Canadian Owners To Fix Odometers (Video)

Not sure I agree. I've found that 4-year-old Hyundais and Kias are in noticeably worse shape than 4-year-old Toyotas and Hondas. That's reflected in used prices as well. I've helped a lot of people buy cars over the years (I'm sure most TTAC readers are the "car guys/gals" in their group of friends and family), and things often go this way: "this Hyundai is so much cheaper than the Accord/Camry/Civic I was looking at, and it looks just as good!" "OK, so take it for a test drive," and finally "It just doesn't feel as solid to me." One tech I know thinks it's 50% because Hyundai uses cheaper components on the assembly line, and 50% because Hyundai owners are always willing to cut back on quality parts to get a better deal. It doesn't matter if Hyundai's OEM rotors are cheaper than Toyota's, they still want you to install the cheapest aftermarket parts you can find.

@heavy handle Yeesh. I've learned over many brands that OE at minimum, and if you go outside, get the better replacement part. Cheap parts are NEVER worth it unless you are selling the car next week. Your friend is right...if you want to see scary, reddit has a subreddit "just rolled into the shop", and unlike "us", these cars get no love, and when, not if, they break, "can you fix it free/cheap". Sadly, we share a road with them....

If things keep going as they are I expect in the not too distant future we will see Hyundai offer a MT in a RWD sedan.
