In 1986, Hyundai began to sell cars in the United States, and the Excel was nominated "Best Product #10" by Fortune magazine, largely because of its affordability. The company began to produce models with its own technology in 1988, beginning with the midsize Sonata

that means you can find a 21 year old one!!

They improved DRASTICALLY over the years and are now a viable alternative to Honda or Nissan, though I doubt they (or anybody else outside of Germany) will ever match Toyota for reliability and longevity.

Just as good is a personal opinion not based upon research and fact. Performance reviews differ, quality and luxury differs and is not up to par with more expensive vehicles.

Yes but it deserves more credit I would think.
Avatar Soliloquy Jun, 01 2007 at 09:31 PM
That's what I thought too. :]
I'd rather pay 21 thousand for a good looking brand new fairly good mileage nicely interiored Hyundai than a year old Ford...
I don't know where those aspects came into play....

It usually has something to do with the quality of the materials used (such as in the interior).

But like Biggie14 said, it's a good thing! It's great that one can get an economy car that runs perfectly well.

I have found their materials to be comparable to most other imports of slightly higher price and superior to most American cars that cost considerably more.
