Are you using the orange Rain-X washer fluid? A few years ago it was causing issues in VWs due it gumming up the level sensor and causing constant low fluid level warning. It coated the sensor and had to be cleaned off

No I'm using the basic blue stuff in everything....I have heard that.
As a matter of fact l heard the VW service guys yesterday talking about just that.
I was going to make a crack about getting through the video without grenading the Hyundai engine but... they actually grenaded the Hyundai engine just trying to make the video. 
I don't know why anyone who has so much as a Google app on their phone would by a 4-cylinder Hyundai/Kia. A youngster at work just bought one, and when someone mentioned the engine issues the response was "what engine problems?" And I see new ones all over the road. I don't get it.
Engine aside, the Hyundai looks awful, costs more and well... it's a Hyundai.

And they have had tons of transmission issues... I bought my mom and Elantra way back in 2000 I believe..her choice..it was very reliable vehicle and many years later something happened where Hyundai can't make an engine anymore.I was going to make a crack about getting through the video without grenading the Hyundai engine but... they actually grenaded the Hyundai engine just trying to make the video.

Exactly. While very plain in appearance and lacking refinement, the older vintage Sonatas were great cars. The big problems started around 2012 give or take a year, and now over a decade later they still haven't fixed it. No idea how they are still in business, engine replacements are not cheap, and they've done hundreds of thousands of them.
The Blackwing would be more practical.

I have three other cars though
I thought that you were having problems with the Arteon.

Never had issues with it until it took them 3 days to figure out it needed spark plugs. The car has been stellar. The new dealership owners not so.
I must have missed where you said the spark plugs fixed your problem.

The Arteon is that low....Looks good, but can you get in and out of it?
Buy it! Life’s too short.
