I am just wondering from the 5th gen guys if you are having very many problems with your cars. I know Camry's are great cars, and I know that Hyundai has made a huge turnaround, but I didn't know that it was this huge.
I'm planning on buying another car as a daily driver, and while doing research I noticed that the Hyundai was the bast in class by a longshot, and I'm seriously considering it over the Camry and Accord. All opinions welcome, I think this could be a good discussion. Overall Toyota is still on top, but are they surviving on their reputation and about to be passed up by Hyundai?
[edit] I am also considering a scion as a daily driver just cause I want one soooo bad. [edit]
