lol that is a dumb comment knowing that gm and ford cars built in america are garbage.My mom was a mustang/camaro lover till she saw my cars never break down and hers always do.

I probaly would take the Hyundai .I for one like the looks.If it isn't a tank like the stang then it will be even better.

outside the normal wear and tear replacement on a 14 year old/136k mile car I have no problems

my girlfriend who has a 3 year old kia has a passanger door that won't open, my co-worker has a hyundai a few years older and half the door handles are broken off and the passanger side window won't go down and the driverside window won't go up

You can compare a handful of any brand "testimonials" to a handful of any other brand "testimonials" to make whatever brand you like more look better.

My father has a 2001 Ranger that is falling apart, he drives it like a grandma, but the brakes in the rear are obliterated (both drums are so gone that so much brake fluid mixed with brake dust that its filled with tar), the engine constantly needs new sensors/fuses/relays, CEL's for the same thing even after you replace the part, and the ABS randomly wont let the car stop it just pulses until you slam the Parking brake (not fail-safe). Not to mention when it isn't broke it gets unexplained piss poor gas mileage

My cousin has a 2000 Mustang that blew injectors and fuel pump at <50k, randomly stalls/wont start, radiator hoses tend to explode (2x), overheats even with new radiator, thermostat, waterpump, and 2 radiator hoses lol.

I have a 2001 Tiburon that I've turbocharged, i beat the piss out of it on stock internals and upgraded clutch and it hasn't had one hiccup besides a bad battery.

Does this mean Fords are crap and Hyundai's are better? No, because 3 cars isn't a proper sample size in any experiment.

Whatever car company there is, there's always people who have extreme stories of longevity and reliability and people who have experienced the polar opposite.

You have to look at the stats, as these aren't biased by a persons predisposition toward one brand or another. IQS are a great study of quality, where Hyundai has been ranking in the top five consistently.

Here's a blurb from the 2006 jdpower IQS:

Nicely put. You're right. Basically you can swing the story however you want. That just shows it s a level playing field.
There is no doubt that Hyundai and Kia have stepped up to the plate. But, so has everyone else, including Ford. The only real hurdle Hyundai and Kia have to overcome now, is a dismal resale value, but that will change as they continue to make positive gains.
Bottom line, comparing the new Genesis coupe to a Mustang is rediculous. But this is what Hyundai claims was their benchmark. In my opinion....I think Hyundai has a way to go before they can claim that the Genesis coupe is a viable contender for the "pony car/musclecar" designation and unseat the Mustang or the soon to be on the market Camaro and Challenger. Lets just say Hyundai has their work cut out for them. But I applaud their efforts to offer another quality rear drive platform to the market.
