How is the Hyundai i40 (2012-2015)?

Europeboy here.

Was wondering how they held up in mileage, and maintenance. Do they tend to break often, or are overdesigned like VW? Are they built like a Toyota tank, but are boring to drive?

Was interested in some deeper experience, since the reviews don't really tend to describe stuff like that.

AKA Elantra Touring. We enjoyed one, a stick shift, for years. Disappointed when they replaced it with the smaller Elantra Sport. So we bought a Rogue - now, that was boring! Traded it for a supercharged V6 F Pace. Definitely not boring.

Really not many reviews on the i40 (the forgotten Hyundai over in Europe).

Likely not as good of a driver than what VW offers, but better than Toyota.

Hyundai has done very well in long term reliability rankings in Europe (such as for AutoBild), but can vary within model ranges, as well as powertrain choices within models.
