The Pony-era Hyundais were pretty lousy.
The Excel-era Hyundais were decent.
The modern Hyundais (Accent, Tiburon) are very nicely done and
phenomenal value for money. They really did turn it around, much
like Japan did over the 60s and early 70s.
If the transmission comes from any semi-recent Hyundai, it'll
probably go forever.
