Hyundai had a not so great reputation in the early 2000s in the US. In recent years however this opinion seems to have shifted.

Been driving an Ioniq 5 2023 for a couple months now with no phantom/emergency braking issues. I'm not in love with the performance of the lane keep without being on an HDA2 marked highway. I have to fight it just enough for it to not be useful on certain well marked backroads.

Considering tossing in a Comma 3 to give no-hands driver assist a shot.

Hyundai has been having engine failures, would not recommend as experienced spontaneous engine failure on a less than year old car. Check consumer reports or source below.

“In 2020, NHTSA announced civil penalties for the companies—totaling $210 million—for not recalling vehicles in a timely manner. In 2021, a whistleblower who provided NHTSA with information that led to those penalties was awarded $24 million, the agency’s first-ever whistleblower award.”

The Ioniq 5 is an EV, can't imagine the engine failures on their ICE cars will have any effects.

The engine failures are mostly for combustion, and have resulted in multiple deaths, including nearly my own.

Comma 3 is s the best, to be honest. Due to CAN-FD on Ioniq 5 the setup is a little bit more complex, but this is the best experience, though they are still working on their own AEB implementation.

Hyundai had terrible engine and transmission problems in the 2010s. A local dealer was offering 20 year warranties to get them off the lot. There was a Reddit post of a 300k+ Kia that had gone through something like 7 engines and 4 transmissions. They basically 4 new cars worth of engine and transmission parts.

They have great styling that’s comparable to German cars. I wish the US automakers could take some hints. From what I’ve heard the Genesis lineup is very luxurious.

If you use single pedal mode watch out for your lack of brake lights
