    Buy some Porsche shares so it hurts less.

    LAVish presents for Ukraine” - as a Canuck taxpayer, I’d get behind that!

    My wife and I are in this boat too. We also have a few friends who bought similar vintage Hyundais, and had bad experiences with relability. I notice (anecdotally) that this seems to afflict the generation you mentioned (the 2011-2014ish range), as my wife had a 2011 Elantra (had cylinders fail without tripping the

    Username decidedly does not check out.

    It is definitely what the “EverydayDriver” guys would call a “moment in time” car - a mass-produced car with a 9,000rpm NA engine just won’t happen again...
