I have owned 4 Hyundais and my experience has been counter to all the all the nay sayers. My first was a 300G, the first full sized Hyundai. I had an issue at 10K miles with intermittent running on 5 cylinders. Dealer told me to just bring it in, no appointment needed. When I arrived, they gave me a loaner. Expecting some used car, I was pleased to find a brand new 300G like mine waiting. The issue was a faulty coil pack. After that initial minor problem, I never had reason to go back to the dealer besides oil changes and tire rotation.They replaced all the coil packs (same batch) and replaced the plugs and washed and vacuumed the car. Your domestic car dealer would have you wait a week for an appointment, replace the faulty part only and send you packing with paper floor mats and greasy footprints in the carpet.
I next owned a Hyundai Azera that never went to dealer except for fluids, tire rotation and tires over 75K of ownership. I traded it for a Sonata T (Turbo 4) that put out 290HP. It was an absolutely great car with an ultra firm suspension that was part of the T package. It was very fast and had no issues over the course of ownership and only returned to the dealer for fluids and tires. I traded the Sonata for an Azera after my 62 year old bones tired of the sports suspension. I am a nut about squeeks and rattles and happy to say every Hyundai I've owned was tight as a drum. They make very good cars.
