congrats, it's got both types of timing chain in common use
wowe such chain
much stretch

If you change the oil very 7-10k it will be fine.

eh
after watching the shitshow of ford, GM and vw chains failing well before comparable belts, I think I'm pretty well a convert to the church of the timing belt on crappy disposable lightweight motors at least
on anything that can have weight behind it, gears all the way

Ended up buying a tesla model 3, no timing chain or oil change

The GM shitshow was 100% caused by 15-20K oil change intervals. Ford had more problems with phasers and valvetrain than actual chains.

resale is shit on those cars

Hyundai has made really good cars for over a decade now.

Until you need warranty work and your car has to sit at the dealership for 2+ months(theta 2 engine recall for example) waiting on back order parts to ship out of Korea. Consumer side might be nice with the warranty, but I get to deal with the other side, and Hyundai's logistics suck.

Yes, that's actually the best thing about them. Same reliability as Toyota, 1/10 the resale value.

I rented a car today as my daily took a shit and my new to me 96 F150 shit out a freeze plug

I got a Hyundai Elantra, it has everything a car seems to need, but I think it is a POS and I wouldn't buy it for $10k let alone the $24+ they want for it

My 20 year old Lexus is 10x the car by far

YMMV
