My personal opinion is that they are among the top 5 automotive brands in the world.  They make a Car/SUV for just about everybody (no AWD cars or pickups yet) from the economical Accent to the ultra luxurious Genesis.  I'm the proud owner of a 2006 Azera and its a better car then my 2000 Nissan Maxima, though the new Maxima's are just as nice...they just cost alot more.  Hyundai is now #5 or 6 in worldwide sales and #7 in the USA.  They are the leader in price, safety, warranty and near the top in quality/design too.

Answer 2

I think Hyundai is for the most part junk. The Tiburon is okay as far as sports cars come. They are front wheel drive which makes them pretty fairly matched with a Mitsubishi Eclipse but still isn't really noteworthy when there are plenty of affordable RWD sports cars out there (350Z, Mustang, etc). The saddest thing about the Tiburon is people tell you the inline 4 has no balls and that getting a GT with the V6 is better when in all actuality the V6 is trash as far as potential goes while over in Korea the I4 is their favorite tuning platform and can make quite a few ponies with turbos.

The Genesis coupe and other upcoming models may make me begin to like Hyundai but as is I'd rather buy a Nissan.

Answer 4

Just a little trivia for you , Hyundai means "future" in korean.  

Ok I have  a lot of friends that have the Santa Fe and the Tucson.  They love both of them.  I think the only concern now is the fuel consumption and apparently they go through it a lot.  So be careful about that and also because of the fuel cost , resale in the future might be difficult.  But in saying all that , they are  lovely mid size SUVs and they love to drive them.  The Elantra is quite a nice sedan type and reminds me of the Camry.  I hope you get one.  The company is good to work with and the warranties are some of the best.
