I had a horrendous experience with Hyundai about 6 years ago. They had the engine recalls on the Sonata’s and a few others that used the same engine. They told me mine didn’t qualify (even though I was within the mileage and term for the recall) and refused to replace my engine. I kept driving it while I was trying to get the issue resolved with corporate and my engine seized up on my on the highway in morning rush hour. Took them 6 months to get a new engine and they initially tried to get me to pay for it with a reimbursement later. I told them where they can shove it and told them to keep the car. A day later it was magically covered and no charge to me. Will never buy anything from them again and will never recommend a Hyundai or Kia to anyone ever.Had a previous gen camry (nicely spec'd) that I bought new. 20 year lifespan doesn't matter, because after 6 years of driving it you would want to kill yourself from boredom. Covid has put an end to my daily commute needs, and I just jeft it in the garage for a year. Not a single time I had a thought that "hey, it's a beautiful day, why don't I just take my camry out for a nice drive".
It also started giving me transmission problems at 100k miles. Traded in for mustang and I would chose every Ford quality flaw combined with terrible gas bills any day over that driving experience. Don't get me wrong, camry is one of the best commute sedans, it's also one of the worst driver's cars.
I still vote for Genesis G70 3.3T Sport thing that I mentioned earlier. I had a chance to drive a Stinger GT (which is pretty much same car) around a small track, and it was extremely similar to a stock Mustang GT PP1/Magneride in handling and dynamics. It's crazy how close these cars are in performance department. Genesis just has much better exterior and interior compared to Stinger. Reliability and build quality are there. One would also save tons of money versus the germans.
