My used 2917 Hyundai car experience * sigh...

Am 2nd owner * bought from Hertz with 41,000 miles * then had a complete checkup * oil was black * Hertz did a number on me, when looking @ their check out list. Car is about average, with a few quirky items * no lock on passenger side * no rear wiper * rear view mirror won't stay put * overly complicated dash controls * seat material burns too easily from cigarette ash * Hertz rubber floor mats from another model * glove box should be level when opened * dashboard needs an edge to hold small items * am 93, drive about 3,000 mi/yr * car front too low - too easy to hit curb * driver window good * other 3 windows constantly fail & need fixing * tire warning light flash, even though pressure is OK * trunk good for large items with rear seats folded * all in all OK car for me...
