Hyundai is much improved - I think 2 of their engines were on Ward's top 10 in the last 5 years. The 2.0L turbo is well engineered and it runs much cooler than the Saab turbo and has high output on regular grade gas. Hyundai owns their own steel mills and supposedly put over $1B into upgrading the quality of the steel - this should help with rust, but i'm in Co which employ little road salt and humidity is low. Hyundai has very high quality interiors now.
Chassis and suspensions still not the best, they make their own 6 speed auto box now and buy AWD from Magna - which works well but maybe less efficient that other designs.
Annual depreciation is now close/equal to other Japanese makes and reliability is very good.
Road feel not up to par with European makes, electric assist steering is numb - but as you point out how many people care anymore
