No one eyedness about this, its fact. Read any car review and then go out and drive a Hyundai and compare it to an equivalent model and see. Even a retarded monkey could tell the difference. The issue is most people are too blinded by RRP.

Fact: This person (who ever he is) liked the way a Hyundai felt over a Mercedes.

Fact: This has nothing to do with being "renowned", is because (as you say) someone "went out and drive a Hyundai" and their arms, legs, body mind etc preferred the way the Hyundai drove. Their personal preference, nothing to do with being a "retarded monkey"...this person obviously felt that the Hyundai suit his personal needs more then a merc.



And for day-to day driving, something like an i30 or even a Eleantra are surprising in terms of feel. Some mercs I driven have stupidly feathery light steering that gives you little clue as to what the car is doing...


Other notable personal choices:

Jim Beam or Jack Daniels

Coke or Pepsi

Country or Western

Left twix or Right twix

Fair enough. Everyone is different, with that I can agree.

These are the engines available in the USA on the current model genesis:

A 3.8L V6 that generates 333 hp and 291 lb.-ft. of torque is standard. The
available 5.0L high-performance TauŽ V8 delivers 429 hp and 376 lb.-ft. of
torque on premium fuel. Both engines feature Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) for
more power, increased fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Industry acclaim for
Hyundai's engines has been as swift as the acceleration they create.
The 8-speed auto was developed in house..

If only we were in charge of an auto industry instead of hosting foreigners.

What a sad and sorry state of affairs it is when a person gets attacked for having a negative opinion of Hyundai.

It is sad and sorry... But I think I have different reasons as too why... Fords poor decisions.

Is that old tripe the best you can come up with? Please point out exactly where it states that owning a new Ford is a prerequisite of posting your opinion on this forum?
If that's the case then I guess that 95% of the members here have no right to post?

Sad and sorry state of affairs when some one calls a person they have never met a retard because they like one car over another (and neither were fords!)


Who'd think that a thread about Hyundai's would have people talking about, well, Hyundai's?

Much like the same ol crap you pedal moron. Im not the one with several bans for pushing the same agenda.
You criticise imports with no first hand experience.
