      That's always been a very unique characteristic of Hyundai. If they expect buyer to chance on their products, they don't leave them high and dry if they don't deliver. At least that's true according to the warranty.
      Now when it comes to service, that's something totally different. Only Hyundai owners can speak on how well that works.

    i so saw this coming i had a feeling a couple years back when every brand was announcing EV's that based of the styling compared to others that a korean brand (namely hyundai or kia) would really dig their feet in and make cars that feel like cars that really speak to an audience and in 10-20 years will be looked at with the same love as the 90s jdm beasts
    also love the sound of the evolution setting it feels like a smart idea to have adaptive sound profiles for driving because otherwise youre dealing with no noise and in some cases like with lucy block in the sierra echo they had to have an annoying siren which makes sense for safety but also does more to annoy a driver than assist them in driving the car

    I did enjoy them and couldn’t fault them.
    I never forgot the moment that went to watch FF Tokyo Drift Movie in cinemas and there was a Quote from Han saying “ you think i would let you run around in a Hyundai ? “ lol
    - Possibly this known Quote maybe was part of inspiration for the Brand to unlock these great achievements over the years 🤔
    PS: i was driving a 2001 FWD Hyundai Coupe with a full Veilside Bodykit back then, blue neons etc.
    The stares i got from VTEC owners with full stripped cars and no A/C were hilarious after the Movie while exiting the car park 😆😆.

(perks of working for a big sports video game company at the time) It was one of the most incredible and memorable experiences I've had. Crouched behind a barrier in the centre of the track with cars ripping by literally feet away... Tsuchiya San was of course one of the judges. Katsuhiro Ueo won in his Hachi Roku (my favourite drift car at the time!) and it was an INCREDIBLE finale! Still have it all on digital tape. What an experience.

    Larry losing control of the Ioniq 5 is such a flex to Hyundai. Larry can drive and drift! It has badass vibes if it's so rowdy that he loses it. I'm reminded of the original Viper (I know it's a stretch).

    Hyundai has come such a long way, they are making such epic cars. Who thought that Hyundai and Kia would become the kings of the scene, KDM has taken over JDM, and they now compete with the big European brands, offering awesome looking cars, great interior and orgasmic exhaust notes from factory.
    Currently own an i30 Sedan N (Elantra N) and Sonata N Line, both such epic cars that absolutely eat the ground, I’m still shocked at how much they have achieved in such little time, already competing with cars in the $200,000 range and above with the Ioniq 5 N.
    I was once a diehard Subaru lover, but they are a shell of what they use to be and Hyundai has won me over.

    When I was growing up in the 90s the name Hyundai got me turning my nose up, it was all about JDM, and over the years I grew up and owned several JDMs, but now how the tables have turned. I feel like I went too early being the proud owner of a Kia EV6 GT and should have waited for the 5N. But maybe our next ICE replacement for the MK2 Focus ST will be an i30N Fastback 😏

    The Ioniq 5N is gorgeous and futuristic as it is enthusiastic, but to me the i30N Hatch and Fastback are beautifully designed cars as well as they are very simple-looking. It's a shame we don't get to see them in America.

    Hands down the Kona N sold me and grabbed me. It's been a vehicle I wowed people with when I roll up with. Folks are truely blown away by the looks, cuz they recognize it's all the standard Konas but something in the lines of the front and rear bumper make them question why it's different... The that's my introduction to wow them, "I say let me take u for a ride n show u why this is different and hands down the best sports line that satistifies in simple ways without the price of BMW"..... God when I place the car on eco and they hear how quiet a few things people ask is
    1. Why does it have paddle shifters?
    2. Bro that screen is sick with the stats, no way? (and some variations of this)
    3. Bro the seats are incredible, they hug U! ohhh u got heated seats! (variations of this)
    4. How many horses? (I tellem 276 to 286 while the car is bone silent)
    Now they are getting me driving like a normal person while on the way to a highway...then right before the highway I explain the build out story with the Ns, how the chassis and sus are reinforced, why U see them big brakes, an just explaining this is performance with a bang for ur buck... Then I tell em hold on, tell em I'm hitting this N button to change it to its max sport mode and that it's gonna be a stiff ride..... And it's a wrap I'm blasting around a jughandle entrance to the turnpike at the 65 - 75 miles an hour and their holding on for dear life, then take em on the turnpike down straights at 120+ to really show people what they have done when u buy an N vehicle.
