Hello people, I am planning getting my first car and a friend has just shipped in hyundai xg350L and a Dodge Challenger. I am no expert when it comes to cars as I have never owned one before. But right now I am considering picking up either of the cars. The Dodge looks manly and intimidating, however my wife prefers the Hyundai which also looks cool and laid back. Please advice on which I should go for that will serve for sometime without giving much headache as per maintenance. Thank you. |

lomomike: Yes, but I think expert advice can also save a heartbreak when making certain investment.  |

I know you said a Challenger but you need to be sure because a Challenger is relatively new if you can afford to buy a Challenger you don't need the Hyundai. If you have to choose between both you have to take into consideration that the Challenger is a 2-door car. For me I will still pick the Challenger. |

feelme3: Hyundai xg 350 , 3.5l DOHC 24valve. Tiptronic transmission.. Guy, that engine never dies. But The engine control unit ECU, The computer that controls all the engines activities is very unforgiving. There are several sensors on that car, all sending signals to the ECU. Any fault with one sensor, the whole system wil kolo.. There is nothing you won't experience... The most unforgiving act, is when you disconnect the battery terminal Chai!!! For days, your car will be in a vegetative state.. The ECU, will just be sending wrong output signals and the car won't run fine... If you must own that car, u must be strong willed.. I can say its the most electrical car for its production year.. Its not a car, you will just open bonnet, and start touching stuffs.. You will be punished.. Common problems are with the EGR valve, Maf sensor and MAP sensor. Good side, is this car is swift. Has a very silent engine. Transmission is smooth.(5- gear auto+manual) If you must own one here are the terms : . Make sure you buy one with low mileage. . Make sure the ECU is the right one. . Make sure there is no cel light on. . Make sure the thermostat is in place. . Buy a scanner too. . If you must replace any part, purchase OEM with matching part no, else it WONT work. If you can meet these terms, you are good to go. Never allow anybody open your bonnet to touch anything.. Before you touch anything, plug your scanner and confirm. NEVER DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY.. P.S That car is a speed monster 1 Like |

chillex8: Hmmm. na wa o. Some one has also told me that the only problem with the car is that it's too "electronics" but I don't want to spend more than 1m on a car for now. The hyundai will give me some change but the Dodge is a bit above that amount. Any advice on the Dodge? Or what car would you recommend for first? Basically, I offer services to firms and I just need a ride to shuttle around for meetings and other appointments but I no want camry o .Thanks for the breakdown on the Hyundai. |

Seems you need to eucate yourself on car ownership, sometimes the best thing is to take a drive in both and pick the one you are very comfortable with.If a car has 200k miles ,CEL, wobbles and engine weak don't buy it because it is a Toyota but if it is good responsive lower mileage I will choose it because all I have to do is maintain rather than fixing a car that is almost dead. You will be driving the car so pick the one you really like. |

feelme3: Haba, so you are looking for a fuel economy car+Lil luxury... Hyundai xg 350, is a mid size luxury sedan, + fuel guzzler...16/22mpg Don't know much about dodge, perhaps those who do should Turnup, or you check online forums. Its best if you decide the vehicle you want to use, personally, cos that way, there will be the zeal and tenacity to attend to her properly. That said, you should be looking for a 1.8-2.0L i-4 engine or 2.4L V6 engine, at least for now.. So, start searching...... Cheers |

sultaan: I think I really do need some education as you pointed out. You really made sense with your opinion. Thanks man. chillex8: Yes bro, a little luxury and fuel economy sums it. With the specs you listed out, am even more confused. I might have to take time out and maybe visit a mechanic to get more insight. Thanks for dropping by sir. |
