          I mean anything can be stolen, but mine has a push button start and a manual gearbox, so at least here in the states I’m fairly safe.

            I mean yeah, but have you heard of the Hyundai/Kia Thefts recently? They don’t have immobilizers

              Yeah but those are using the standard ignition switches, not the push start. They pull the dash down and are able to use a USB cause it’s about the right size to turn the ignition cylinder from the inside. With a push button I don’t have a cylinder to turn, that method won’t work.

              Hyundai without immobilizers that can be stolen aren’t push button start ones, they’re ones where you stick a USB flash drive into the wheel to get it to turn over

          My Hyundai was stolen off my drive in mere seconds - I was kind of impressed watching it back on the doorbell cam footage.

      Cheaper to buy than the equivalent Japanese car, more expensive to repair than the equivalent European car. Buy a Hyundai 👍
