But a Hyundai isn't going to easily go 200k miles with easy to source parts (have Hyundai cars in my family).

Hyundai and Kia are disposable cars. Not a model I can get behind.

Tradeoffs, it's always tradeoffs.

They are only disposable to those that don't take average care of their cars. My parents Sonata is at 235k and it will soon become my kid's car. Runs fine with no issues because my parents take care and of their cars.
