Back in college in the mid 80's a friend showed up with a new car.  A Hyundai (you should have heard all the ways people tried to pronounce it) Excel.  Nothing special about it, but it was cheap and it ran so he was happy.  We spent the better part of 2 years trying to keep his old Civic running (basically had to use starting fluid every single time, got to the point he just left the air filter off) so a car that always started was a novelty to him.  He drove it though the last 2 years of college and law school. 


They have some quite a ways since then.  My M-I-L always drove Honda Accords, but when she got a promotion that involved her driving quite a bit, she got a company Ford.  After she retired she wanted to go back to an Accord, but the price was a bit too high.  So she went with a Civic, but never really liked it.  Then one of her friend's got a Hyundai so when it was time to get a new one, she went and looked at the Sonata.  Took her a while to pull the trigger because she had in her mind it was a downgrade from a Honda.  And at the time, it probably still was.  But she loved it and has had 3 or 4 since that first one.
