reliability

I’m in the market for a compact car that gets good fuel economy, but also has a standard transmission. My options so far (within my budget) would be a 2008 Toyota Yaris, a 2013 Hyundai Accent SE, and a 2013 Dodge Dart SXT (w/ 1.4L Turbo). I am a learning mechanic, and I love modding my vehicles...

Are they that bad? I have a Sonata with the 2.4 and that engine made me nervous until it was replaced and supposedly they fixed them... but I keep reading people having issues with the 1.8 engines in the Elantra... I was looking at a fully loaded 13 Elantra Limited and it has the 1.8 with 55,000...

I’m hunting after my ‘03 Honda started gushing oil (235k) and I found a used 2014 Hyundai Accent GLS 6 Manual with 65K miles, clean Car Fax, one owner (traded in for a Veloster). I’ve no experience with Hyundai’s, only the Honda and a Toyota (‘98 Camry, about 280k). I’m worried about getting it...

Firing things off, my Sonata 2.0T just rolled over 103,000mi and is running like a sewing machine. Who's got the highest miles on their 2.0T? Any major part replacements? Let's hear it!
