Well, this was the first year for this car, and I have to say it was a POS.
Sure, it had power windows, A/C, and cassette tape in the stereo, etc. But, it basically fell apart within 3 years. It was no where near as well built and dependable as the Mazda 323 I had just sold with 100k miles on it, zero service needs but PM and 1 set of new brake pads.
Now, I'm not saying the EZ Reader is a POS. But, I am saying that just because a device ticks alot of feature boxes doesn't mean it is a better device or a better buy.
But, as you say, the "quality" issue is very important.

And that is why we will have to wait and see on the quality issue. However, on the software side, I am pleased that Hanlin has already released one small update (unlike most of the other players who sit on their, uh whatever). Furthermore, Hanlin isn't totally new at this game, as Griffonwing has stated.
However, the original comparison was to a Yugo and that is a comparison that I don't think works. Only time will tell if its more similar to your Elantra with features, but less reliability, or if it is more like a Lexus.
