  1. I'm way late with this video. I just noticed the date you uploaded it. Anyway, about halfway through, ironically, just before you talked about the complexity naysayers, I was thinking, "man, there's a lot to break there...". So, luckily I didn't start madly commenting...I am from the old-school days when you could reach inside and engine, rip off the tappet covers and heads and rebuild it in a day. I look at mechanics as playing with a jigsaw puzzle and a 1970s engine is like a 250 piece puzzle, whereas this is your 2000 piece monster. However, your close-ups of the components showed the tight tolerances and almost artistic way the components work together. That, combined with that warranty, shows that Hyundai have faith in their engineering. And they went all mechanical. I've watched Hyundai grow from a manufacturer of mediocre, non-descript people movers to a company that produces state-of-the-art vehicles. I love the i Series Hyundais but my current dream car (besides some old-school pre-70s Valiant/Chrysler) is a Kia Stinger. They can outrun an SS Commodore. Yeah, I'm a tappet head...
