- Hyundai is one of the fastest growing automakers in the world, but they have yet to capture the hearts of enthusiasts in the same way their competition has. But they're trying, real hard. Hyundai is finally making some sweet cars, but it took a long time to pull it off. We'll tell you why.

‘The eight ladies and early nineties’ 😂
Keep crushing it Nolan, love your stuff
Had to rewind and double check myself after hearing that one
@@jasonstuff6801 It took me a good 15 seconds to figure out he said it wrong and then had to rewind 😂
A period of about a half-dochen years
@@jasonstuff6801 same lol
I bet it was planned and not an accident.
You clearly hear him saying it without any hesitation.
Planned, tested and performed like he wanted it. 👍
My first car was a gen 2 Tibby and I distinctly remember the lack of aftermarket support for it 10 years ago. Glad to hear that's (slowly) changing for Hyundai's current models!
The 2 gen Tibby was my first car too and still is now, I bought it 5 years ago because it was affordable, nice looking and not too expensive to maintain. Maybe it doesn't have a ton of power but it's still really fun to drive!
I remember Hyundai was a horrible car company as a kid. They were unreliable, lacked power and rusted very easily.
Gpz part7?
My current car (06 gt tibby) is my favorite car I've ever owned.
It's cuz they're using a gema engine which is a mildly changed 4g63T
The Genesis Coupe absolutely had sick styling, without being over the top
Ikr, great looking cars imo
"Had"! Still has! To this day it remains one of the coolest-looking cars on the road. My 3.8 GT *constantly* turns heads and has people asking me "what car is that!?"
@@Psythik I say had due to its discontinuation
i completely agree which is what made me buy one 😹
@@Psythik YUP! ive got some nice tasteful cosmetic mods done and some wheels and i get tons of compliments. the car has aged better than anything else that released in 2010. those 2010 mustangs and camaros look pretty dated. not the gen. way ahead of its time
"The question remains. Are these N cars cool?"
N74 concept: hold my beer
I believe the term the young'uns use is 'sicko mode'
@@bobthestinky7369 like 2 years too late grandpa
I just got a 2010 genesis, needless to say, I love it and can’t wait for the n74
that was is so ugly wtf.
honestly one of the best-looking cars I have ever seen.
...and I'm not really a Hyundai guy. (do like the veloster tho)
This is the closest thing to an "Up To Speed" episode on the Hyundai Tiburon and I am grateful!! Been asking for years!!! Love these cars!
Why lol
🤦🏻♂️ 😂
@@metaltera86 Need for Speed Underground 2 lol
I remember in highschool when a bunch of us started getting cars and throwing car meets at our local In N Out parking lot a group of guys drove Tiburons. Like 3 or 4 of em. They were all lowered(probably with cut springs lol) and on reps with some big exhaust and an intake. I was in the honda crowd at the time and we would all race on the outside of town. The Tiburon guys had cool looking cars, but they were so slow and handled like shit. I drove one up the Ortega highway while a friend drove my EF hatchback and he was so confused at how my 88 hatch built like a box was so much more nimble than his Tibby. All in all, they're cool to look at but god they were just so outclassed by nearly everything else in the same price range and even most cars that were far cheaper.
@@SamReynols man of culture
I had a 2013 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R Spec. That car without mufflers sounded nuts and I think is still the highest HP car to come out of Korean at 429hp. It was an amazing car.
I more than agree with you I have a 15 genesis sedan 5.0 and people always think it’s coyote swapped or something it just sounds fucking mean
2014 R Spec got totaled and then got my 2nd 2013 5.0 R-Spec. That GDI V8 can eat up some oil but love it. Thinking of changing the exhaust on it
Very underrated and forgotten car
Damn, 429 hp ain't bad at all!
@youtubecantsaveallthesnowflakes I agree with you on corners keeping that oil consumption on check. To be honest the exhaust change up is in the air because Genny is perfectly fine stock.
As a Tiburon owner (the only one left in Italy that is called Tiburon instead of Coupe, MK1 1998), yeah, I love it. It's just a car that I love, great audio system, the engine starts whether outside is damn cold or hot af and it's just reliable and lovely ♥
A good buddy of mine that passed away had a Genesis. Will always have a special place in my heart, too bad I never got to drive it. After he passed away my other buddy was given it & he ended up blowing up the head gasket. Idk why he junked it. I couldn’t have ever gotten rid of it tbh. Rest in piece Nick
piece 🫢
@@xero3637LMAO you are FOULLLL
The genesis paved the way for a lot cars. The stinger, the g70 the entire n line. Even if it wasn’t “cool” it changed the game for Hyundai
For what cars did they pave the way?
More like it changed the game for kia and infinity 😂
@@mariod1146 genesis actually
You funny William
"The Genesis", as in the Hyundai Genesis coupe or Hyundai Genesis sedan, or (later) the Genesis luxury brand?
I think the Hyundai Veloster N is a perfect case study of how a sport car can change a populations attitude toward a car company in general. After I saw the Veloster N and it's rave reviews I immediately went to their website to see what else they had... Which I think is close to the desired effect they were looking for.
Definitely....when I saw the veloster....i was really curious about the car.... which I can't say for a lot of Hyundai s
Ever since Hyundai re-entered WRC with the i20, my brother would look at every i20 on the road and said, "oh look, it's the rally car"
Pretty much the same reaction as mine when Ford Fiesta entered the WRC
To bad its overpriced
Lspi
They would have gotten away with it too if not for those meddling reporters who outed them for hiring literal children in Alabama.
And then 4 months later, they go ballistic with the RN22e and N Vision 74
i am so excited for these two. the perfect direction to take the auto market. hyundai will (or might br already) be the fore runners of a new era in car design.
And then, a month before you drooled on their shift knob, they got caught using child labor in Alabama. Good job buddy.
I honestly love the way the genesis coupe looked, especially the models up till 2013. It looks sporty but practical, like a better Cavalier. I'd love to own one someday
If you have kids you can have them build you one just like Hyundai does!
@@revwroth3698 😂😂
I love my 2012 Track. Definitely has some flaws. Interior looks and feels cheap. A lot for minor issues like stuff breaking in the interior. Back seat is a joke. But as a driving machine it's a lot of fun. I've put an exhaust and aftermarket wheels on it and I love it as my daily.
@@joecanali5594the backseat serves it's purpose for extra storage space, just not for actually putting people in....
Another thing not mentioned is Hyundai's warranty. I own a 2020 Veloter and it got recalled for a motor issue. I took mine in, they discovered my car was effected and 3 days later I picked my car up with a brand new engine that now has an unlimited warranty. I think that is pretty cool.
You think it's cool that they designed a broken engine and sold it to you and then had to take your car for several days to fix their fuck up?
Yupp
@@seanperson2032 everyone makes mistakes, what matters is that they made up for it.
@@seanperson2032 Which manufacturer has not designed a broken engine...
That’s the thing I don’t want to go with a company who even finds they have to recall their engines in modern times when there is established reliable performance engines from practically every market nowadays
7:42 it just looks so happy to be the car it is ☺️
Went through 3 Tiburons, then Genesis 2.0T Coupe R-spec, now Genesis 3.8 Coupe, for the most part every model just got better, love the value, performance, and looks.
Really wish the 1st gen Veloster was mentioned in this video. Recently bought a 2016 Turbo model and I love it. I definitely think this a one of the few underrated sports cars that are out there. It is super affordable, very fun and not a gas guzzler.
Even the i30pds where really fun to drive, that 8 speed dct was great
I have a 1st gen VT too. I agree with you 100%, super underrated car. Aftermarket support is awesome as well.
I have a first gen veloster too! got it recently but it's been a really great car so far, extremely underrated and in my country even really rare as we only have about 3000 of them and 70 out of them are turbo's, we don't have the newer gen
i was looking for this comment lmaooo, i own a 2017 veloster turbo and its one of the most fun things ive ever been behind the wheel of. and the gas is great!!!
Loved my 2013 genesis coupe. Idk how it failed. They did the right thing and put wide enough tires on it so it didn’t wanna slide constantly like the frs and brz. It handled great sounded good was easy to work on/mod. Looking to get the news wagon n in a year or so
Because of ricers
same
Because they put the right tires on it. No one really hopped in and hooned them, so they looked boring to the consumer
It was still built really cheap, with corners cut on materials, manufacturing, and component design. I mainly cite weak bushings, and in some cases an entire lack thereof (only one differential mount bushing where there should obviously be two), poor quality control, and a meh manual transmission in the first generation genny. They were definitely still in their cheapo era. I've driven and worked on them before, and just recently a friend and I replaced a control arm that snapped as he was parking his car, not a good look.
Just for the record, this isn't an attack on the Genesis, they do handle great, look good, and have plenty of power for the time. Just wanted to share a portion of why I thought it failed.
It had steering like a chrysler crossfire, terrible.
One thing you failed to mention is that Hyundai owns and operates their own steel foundries, unlike any other car manufacturer that I'm aware of. This is key to Hyundai's movement towards manufacturing better cars and being able to compete in overall quality while still undercutting the competition on price. They are able to make their own alloys and use them in places where they matter most, to maximize the strength and quality of the base chassis design. Hyundai's overall quality started improving drastically in the late 2000's.
Honestly I think the Genesis coupe is a great-looking car. It doesn't stand out as much as a 350Z or Mustang, but there's a lot fewer of them on the road and I think they look a bit more interesting than either alternative (although the current Mustang is a really great car). I always wanted one, and to be honest, I still do.
I bought a 2013 gen coupe about a year ago and I absolutely love it. I have the turbo, and it’s been so fun and reliable. So far it’s been my favorite of all the cars I’ve owned honestly.
Mitsubishi has many segments in its company that makes other components. They don't only make cars. My opinion on the Genesis coupe of the 2000's is that the design was ripped off from the Infiniti and Genesis hasn't improved much from there.
Mitsubishi. And because Mitsubishi is so small they’re actually one step beyond that. Look at the door frames on a Lancer versus anything else. They’re actually amazingly well built, at least structurally.
So you'd rather have a Hyundai over a new C8 Corvette?
@@cheez1012 Mitsubishi also made military planes in which crashed into American sailors. Fuck mitsubishi.
the BK2 genesis coupe is literally one of the coolest hyundai cars ive ever seen tbh. Not only do they look great stock, but they're fast and moddable. Let alone they are complete eyes turners after cosmetic and internal modifications. You saying they just look like a "car" boggled my mind!😯
It's kind of funny how the Genesis in some opinions didn't look 'cool' then, and now everywhere I drive, everyone's praising my BK2 Genesis.
He really did a disservice to Hyundai and Genesis for skipping over the BK2. I get dogging the BK1 but I absolutely love BK2 and so does everyone else I meet lol.
@@freyftw1 BK 2 looks like every other car. BK1 (with blackout logo and smoked headlights) looks like a batmobile form the front side.
@@marvinsaidI agree I actually am actually more stoked I got a BK1 because it looks the best imo. Even if it is under powered compared to the BK2.
@@False_Death love my bk1 r spec
I've had a few Tiburons and can attest to their reliability. Just change the oil and timing belts. The two I have currently are at 170k and 197k miles respectively
@Max Power and some people say that they're meant to break down in 50k 🤦🤣
Why do you have 2?
why?
I had a 2001 Tiburon too with the 2.7 l engine and it broke two rods and completely destroyed itself at only 90000 miles changed oil every 7000 miles and belt was replaced too...
@@pyroforlife6051 that's funny cause the 01 never was optioned with the 2.7
My “real” first car was and still is a 2015 Genesis Coupe. I love it so much and it makes me happy to see that Hyundai is finally getting some love/interest from people who don’t already love their cars.
Awesome cars
Still drive mine
Sorry your “first real” car is garbage…
@@justinjacob9743 that’s cause you can’t afford something nice!
@@BabaYagaRacing no, no they aren’t…
I absolutely love my Elantra N. It's absolutely electric to drive and GUSHES personality. Plus it makes such a sweet sound especially for a 4 banger
I have a 2020 Veloster R. I freaking love it! The drive feels great, and one part I feel like you missed out on is how good the new interiors are. Not overly complicated, and the apple car play is solid!
I got the 2020 r spec as well I love it soooo much ! I love the seats and yeah that apple car play is what’s up 😆
One part you missed is the children building them in Alabama. Oops...

@@revwroth3698 aren't most things we own built by children?
@@Courtesyflush52 probably, yeah. If you go far enough down the material supply chain then definitely. which is why it's so important to call them out hard when they get uncovered like that. If we always just shrug and say everyone does it they have zero incentive to be better.
I remember the Hyundai Tiburon was actually pretty respectable by other sports car owners. It was great to see a cheaper car company making affordable good looking sports car for younger drivers. When the Genesis came out, it solidified that Hyundai was doing well in that direction 🙂
The Veloster N is the best investment I’ve ever made. I love the manual transmission and the pops and bangs it makes
Oh man, I forgot about the pops and bangs. I was looking into them pretty heavily for a bit, and almost bought one. The active exhaust was a huge draw for me. Quiet when you want it to be, loud when you want to have some fun! "No officer, see? My car isn't even loud, it couldn't have been me making all that noise!"
I have an i20N, love it. Super fun, super clean.
.........investment?
@@Driftmonkey it's another way of saying decision, as in "I've made a great decision/investment".
@@thephoenixhunter84 Investments are generally made to make money from as whatever item or product you've purchased is predicted to go up in price. This generally means its a sought after/rare item that isn't in production anymore. Veloster N an investment? ... I would disagree.
My Dad works for Mobis Parts (Kia and Hyundai) in Sydney Australia, and while I very much prefer Kia head and shoulders above Hyundai it's good to see Hyundai and Kia being serious competitors in the automotive industry.
Edit: Here are the cars that my Dad has owned since working for the company
1. Hyundai i20
2. Hyundai i30 (2x)
3. Hyundai Accent (2x) (personal favourite of mine)
4. Hyundai Veloster (2x)
5. Hyundai Getz (2x) (extremely reliable)
6. Hyundai Staria (personal favourite of mine when in comes to vans)
7. Kia Cerato
8. Kia Sportage (2x) (personal favourite of mine)
9. Kia Soul (2x) (personal favourite of mine)
10. Kia Rio
11. Kia Carnival
12. Kia Stonic (current car he owns right now) (very nice car)
Is your dad twelve? I heard they like hiring kids. Maybe that's just in Alabama though...
@@revwroth3698 only in alabama, also tbh car manufacturers in general are pretty shitty ppl when it comes to ethics
@@anandajeethsanal701 yeah, but if you give everyone a pass because everyone is doing it nothing is going to change. You have to punish them immediately when this sort of thing comes out, like dogs. If they take a massive hit right after being caught using child labor they will be forced to change by their fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders. Basically the only way to get them to be better is to keep talking about this until their public image is damaged to the point of hurting their revenue. They don't care about anything else.
@@revwroth3698 i agree with u, its definitely an issue that needs to be resolved
Ever since I first laid eyes on a second generation Tiburon I had wanted one, then 12 years later I finally got one, one of the first off the line 2003's, to restore (also converted the front end to impersonate the F/L2) and it has been with me ever since and I will never ever get rid of it. I recently got its successor as a project, a 2010 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec and I love it too. My love for Hyundai started the day I tore apart the Tib engine and realized the extraordinary value in its simplicity and build quality far away exceeds all others and made a lifelong loyal customer out of me. Thats exactly what you want as a customer from a company, good dependable cars offered at a significant value for everyone to enjoy.
My 2011 Genesis Coupe is probably my most favorite car I've ever owned. I definitely plan to keep it forever because I just love it too much to even think about selling it.
+
Yep just got a 13 3.8 r spec and it's a blast
I just bought a 2010 3.8 track edition and I already feel the same way. That thing is my baby now.
I have a 2011 sonata turbo makes 275 stock to the wheels. Threw a Cold Air Intake on it and gapped the muffler and it’s pretty gnarly for a 4 banger.
I just got mine a few weeks ago and I can say for certain that I absolutely love it. Just enough power where I can feel fast and not have to worry about killing myself
I bought a 2010 Genesis coupe new (still have it) because I thought the styling was so much more unique than the American pony cars of that year. I got more compliments from strangers in that car than every other ride I've owned combined. It was also quite a bit less expensive. If Hyundai had put their V8 from the sedan in there, it would have been serious competition for the muscle cars.
I've always loved the taillights and wish that style was more popular.
@@FreakMeat74 New Acura Integra tail lights look similar
They look great and handle pretty well just sucks that the 3.8 stick trans is pretty weak.
It’s a beautiful car ngl. Like it’s not as high end as the other ones but I really like it
My first Hyundai was a 2014 elantra SE, at first i only got the car since my project car broke at the Time, but i started to fall in love with the little thing surprisingly. I had it for less then a year and immediately got the 2022 elantra n line when it came out (currently at 4K miles and i adore the thing) , Hyundai has really stepped up their game and I’m so excited for what they have planned, and i really hope more aftermarket support will be coming along with these cars as well😪
I LOVE my N. I wrecked it in 2021 and It didn’t run for a bit. Once I got it running, it runs better than ever and still blows my mind. Absolutely love it.
Did you survive?
how many N is working for u right now?
I have had a '13 Genesis coupe R-spec for 5-1/2 years. Almost 120k miles and still runs great. Not the quickest car I have ever owned or the best handling, but it is the best all around package for a daily. Looks sexy as hell also. So much fun to drive and it's been incredibly reliable.
Great car
My father has a '12 Genesis R-spec 5.0 sedan and he seems to love it
I very much appreciate Hyundai's will to listen their customer and keep working for the last decades. When they make Tiburon/Hyundai Coupe, it's a step in the right direction. But it's not quite there yet.
When they make Veloster & Genesis, that's when they started to nailed the segment. It's just the matter of time for them to be even better
They've been winning Car of the Year awards for ages.
I know the EV6 won European Car of the Year this year.
People just have to get over their preconceptions and give them a chance.
I recently bought a Tib V6 as my first car and I can't be happier with my purchase. It's different than all the other cars on the street, reliable and pretty sturdy. I've had it for two months and I'm already in love. Definetely a car that should have more following
My first was a 2018 Kona 1.6T. I loved it. Fully loaded and 0-60 in 6.3 sec. Raced it down I-1 10 in Mississippi. 140 miles an hour beating a Camero RT. Loved it.
if the 1.6t kona does 0-60 in 6.3 I can't wait to clock my 2.0t kn, i've heard of someone getting 4.9 stock which would be crazy
I clicked on the video and read the comments expecting see to see the 5.0 r-spec sedan. You can't talk about Hyundai "coolness" without mentioning the 2012-2014 5.0 sedan with 429 horsepower and 376 lb-ft torque. They combined luxury and style with speed and a large engine. What more could a car enthusiast want?
And they sell for a fair price now!!!
Don’t forget the 15-17 5.0 on the DH sedans
@@alexisboisvert2435 just bought one for 12 grand a few days ago funnest car I’ve owned
I remember saying "i will never own a hyundai" 10 years later i have a 14 veloster turbo with full bolt on's and tune. Fun car and surprisingly quick it opened a few peoples eyes in my area of what potential they have.
dang did u like not test drive anything else
ey 👋 hello fellow VT owner :) 2013 and still kicking (even with all the failures in this model year haha)
I said the same thing about kia 11 years ago, now i drive one and like it a lot
I'm on my second Hyundai, went from a Veloster to a Sonata N
Great warranty, doesn't look grossly dated with each year that goes by, and provides a lot more luxury than some American car you'd buy for the same price
Hyundai Genesis coupe bk2 owner here. The car has a few aftermarket body kits and engine modifications with plenty exhaust options. I’m pretty happy with it
I got a lot of respect for Hyundai. In 2000 I bought my first car from a dealer, 2000 Hyundai Accent. They were the only dealer I went to that treated a 19yo kid like a customer. I then traded it in for an Elantra about 5 or 6 years later. Both were reliable cars.
I've owned and built a big turbo '10 2.0T (392hp) and '13 3.8 Track w/ BC Stroker Kit and 3Point8Performance everything to 477hp. I loved both generations and would definitely buy another one in the future. They handle mods well and are literal drift machines. Some thought my 3.8 was a V8 from how it sounded stroked to just over 4.0L with a full ARK and custom exhaust setup. Have plenty of pix and vids of both cars.
How much does it cost to make it 4.0l? I have a '13 and cant decide what to do to increase horsepower on somewhat of a budget. Only have exhaust. I heard even the cold air intakes dont do shit so I just have k&n filter.
Was that wheel horsepower at 477? I've honestly never seen them go that high.
@@tunedskillsz my honest opinion is if you want big power to look up the Omega 70mm turbo kit. Takes a stock 348hp motor to 525hp safely running 7psi. I planned on going turbo but wanted to do internals thus the Brian Crower Stroker kit. You can go to 4.1L with that kit but I wanted to still have some cylinder wall thickness.
@@tunedskillsz 421whp/382wtq. Stroker kit is a big jump. Also had as far as you can FBO without adding boost. 1” manifold riser, manifold port and polish, pulley kit, full header back exhaust system, AlphaSpeed tune for 100 octane, bigger TB, Snow meth kit. IMO I would have a built motor before just dropping boost into it.
@@tunedskillsz I just uploaded a video of my Genesis on my other page. This is with the stroker kit but before adding meth. ruclips.net/video/8qWwL2SbM8k/видео.html
Thought I was trippin when I heard “Eight ladies and early nineties” @3:41😂
I bought 3 bk1 genesis and I adored them. They scratched all the itches for a fun car without being overpriced or hard to maintain. In terms of the hot hatches available right now, the Veloster is definitely one of the most desirable.
I had a 2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0 R-Spec. That thing was so ridiculously fun to drive. It wasn't the fastest in a straight line, but the rear wheel drive, LSD, 6 speed manual, Brembo brakes, and sport suspension more than made up for it. It handled sooooo well, it absolutely loved the corners. I still regret selling that thing.
Fun cars
I and my entire family have been driving Hyundai’s since 2008 because their dealer is so good to us and between all of us not a single issue with any of our vehicles ever and they’ve only gotten nicer looking with each new model and looking at their future models I’m blown away. I’m a loyalist
Same. 2002 somehow.
It was cheap reliable back then, now it is affordable, stylish and reliable
How do you feel about them now that the child labor is exposed?
@@revwroth3698 they do?
@@jclive2860 technically it's a company that provides stamped parts to their factory, but Hyundai owns majority stock in that company. It's in Alabama, and it's estimated that they had 90 kids working there at one point, with some as young as twelve. Story broke back in July.
I can promise you, the Genesis before the Veloster was awesome. I had a 3.8 Track (wanted the 2.0T) but it was the best car I had. It was reliable and quick as hell. I can't say anything rude about them, Hyundai is doing some things, don't know what those things are, but they do exist. Good luck finding a Genesis.
what they are doing is get the former chief engineer of bmw M division to kickstart their sporty cars.
I have owned four Hyundai now with my current Hyundai being a Kona N. My first Hyundai was a 2003 Tiburon GT that I loved and yeah it was far from matching the competition but that car was a blast for what it was. As for quality I never had any issues with any of the Hyundai I owned.
The Scoupe Turbo was slow in stock form but its was an iron block that holded a lot of boost. I remember watching people in PR boosting them to 18 lbs with stock internals with no issues
I absolutely love my Veloster N! And I was a Hyundai tech back in the early 2000s. Swore I would never own one of their cars, and the N is my 2nd Hyundai.
The Hyundai Tiburon was actually my second car, the early model not the revamped one, and I loved it. My buddy in college had a celica and it actually kept up with it most of the time, just didn't look as cool. Since I have owned a mustang, 350z, 370z, and a couple dad cars. I now own a 2020 Hyundai Veloster N and it is hands down the best car I have ever owned. The customization options are a huge selling point for me, and the exhaust sound is second to none.
I got my N line Fastback last week. I love it and people too, it turns heads!
Imo I thought the genesis was one of the coolest cars to hit the street! I remember when I first started seeing them, I didn't know what I was looking at because they were modified and de-badged! But one things for sure I never would of thought it was a Hyundai, I think ultimately what killed the genesis was the Hyundai name attached to it, the genesis was like the new kid on the court wearing AND-1 when everyone else is wearing Nike or Adidas, but he could actually play good but no one really wanted to give him a chance because of what he was wearing 😔... I think that that's what the Hyundai name to the genesis 🥺
This is a perfect explanation, when I first got my 3.8 genesis in 2015, nobody knew what it was but they all agreed it looked and sounded awesome, tell them it's a hyundai though and they no longer cared
Same thing happened to me and my genesis
Never mind that Hyundai's including the Genesis suffer brutal depreciation. You better love that car as if you didn't put 50% down, you can't even get rid of it. My brother bought his Genesis for around $30k and it was barely over a year old. The MSRP was like $53000. Over 40% depreciation in one year is definitely something many people have run into like a brick wall. Whatever you do, never under any circumstances buy one new.
Hyundai is a company that has come a long way.
Yupp
Same with kia
Yeah, Kia's doing really well too
@@kaddett3717 after owning my kia for 14 years bought new in 2008 i didnt have any major issues with it 200.000km on it.
Yeah man. Screw the doubters aka Japanese car fanboys
I've owned a 3.8 Genesis for about 3 years now, and the aftermarket definitely isn't super extensive. But compared to other cars in this class, it seems to be a lot more affordable. Great sound too.
The pronunciation of Hyundai in this video is like a shot in the heart.
The variable valve tech they just put on their smartstream engines is really innovative and cool. Reliable? TBD. Genius? Absolutely.
2021 N-Line 8k miles, been good so far with some mild beatings here and there

oh boy you're lucky to have such a fun car !
good luck and I hope it lasts you a life time
@@omaralkayal7598 it's my second one actually. I've got a 2012 Veloster that I'll be doing a build on
Hotel? Trivago.
Not as good as mazdas compression ignition. Thats brilliant.
I thought the genesis was pretty cool at the time. I still do. And as someone who doesn't usually care for hatches, the veloster is one of the few I'd consider owning.
I have a 2023 Elantra and flippin love it. Advertised like 40mpg I think but I consistently get 45. Full digital displays, wireless charging, adaptive cruise control, lane keep that is basically self driving, super cool rims, and the dang thing was only $23K. Like if you want the most out of your money it’s a super good option.
I just hate that there's two doors on one side of the Veloster and one door on the other. Such an odd choice to make..
I own a 2010 2.0 Genesis and I love it, so definitely a subjective cool
@@xdi2286 i have the 2013 2.0 premium genesis brothers
@@AdultsAreTalking I love that, its a coupe for the driver and passengers never have to climb past the front seat like in all other coupes, best of both worlds, plus they hide the door handle by the window so it just looks like a coupe from all sides. Insurance also considers it a 4 door :)
the n vision 74 looks dope, i hope they sell a shell so you could throw a LS in it
Tiburon is the best one in my opinion only because all the body mod options you can put on them to make them look good along with the open space in their engine bays to allow more room for engine power mods to make them even competitive in todays Markert in performance.
I'm really glad that you guys did a video over Hyundai because I currently own a 2019 veloster. It's only the base model with a 2 l 4 cylinder but the car is fun for what it is and makes pretty dang good gas mileage for a sports hatch. I'm thinking about trading it in for the N type, but I want to see how well the car handles years of wear and tear and doing the proper maintenance. So if it holds up after several years, I'll definitely get the N type :)
Just wait until you're putting a new engine in at 45k miles.... you'll love it a lot less.
@@seanperson2032 even if that were the case. That is what the 10 yr powertrain warranty is for ;)
@@polybius10 Pretty sure that warranty only applies to the first owner. My dad does warranty work and has told me to stay far away from these cars
@@anthonygill5081 wrong, car warranty’s don’t go away when you sell the car. They stay with the car. If I bought a car with 5 year 60k mile warranty from manufacture and sold the car with 2 years left on warranty the warranty is still good and the new owner can use the warranty if the car breaks. You and your dad know nothing. We live in the age of them internet and tons of information at your finger tips and yet people still believe stupid stuff and don’t research or fact check….

Thanks for the Crown Vic shout-out! Made me laugh as a Vic owner for too many years!
i own the 2010 genesis coupe 2.0T and it’s such a fun car. i’ve lowered it on coils and put 19 inch wheels with a healthy amount of camber. the amount of compliments and stares i get with the car never gets old and i don’t understand how people can say they’re not attractive cars lol they just need a lil bit of work and they become really sexy.
😂😂😂😂
234,000 miles on my 2013 Elantra GT, the hatchback. Leather, panoramic roof, manual 6 speed tranny. I have replaced brake pads, tires, and a battery. After almost 10 years, a crank position sensor died, costing me almost $20. I love this car!! I may have a synchro dying, but I can fiddle my way around the problem for now. Bought an Accent hatch at the exact same time, and while it has half the milage, it has also been an amazing investment in requiring only basic maintenance.
After decades of owning cheap, and expensive, American cars, I gave Hyundai a shot, and won't go to any other maker, (unless something absolutely groundbreaking happens elsewhere)
I have 2015 elantra SE, any tips for maintenance/ownership? Also how is it holding up 2 yrs later?
@@whisp96 I followed the regular maintenance intervals for oil, and tried to keep door seals and the sunroof track in the best condition I could
3:42 -"the eight ladies and early nineties" LMAO
Last week i upgraded from a 2002 Santa Fe to a 2021 Kona & I love it so much! My family has been driving Hyundai for a long as I can remember
I have 6 Tiburons! I absolutely love these cars! For a car you typically pick up under $2000, they are awesome!
I love the look of Tibs. If I get the opportunity, I would love to build one for 24 hours of Lemons. I think it’s a good class A/B contender
i think its worth mentioning that in 2013, the gen coupe got a second generation. with a ~50hp bump to both engine options, and (debatably) improved styling, the car got a much needed refresh that helped to boost its reputation. it didnt turn it into a legend overnight, but its still pretty neat.
Not mentioned in the video, which I think is worth noting if you're not a horsepower-chasing person - the V6 Gen Coupes sound so good stock, and with a simple catback they sound great. Can't say the same for the Nissan Z coupes. That engine sounds like poop.
I realize this is 4 months old at this point but I’ve driven Hyundai exclusively for almost a decade now, and while I didn’t ever have one of their performance cars, I did tip my toe in with a 2016 Veloster and I loved it. Just traded it in for a 2022 elantra while I wait for an N EV car to come out in the next few years.
My buddy owns what we believe to be mostly stock 2010 Hyundai Sonata and it’s grown on me to become one of my favorite cars in our friend group, he has the lambda v6 stock and she roars through the 7 and whatever thousand rpm and the exhaust sound just brings joy to my ears
I love my 2010 genesis coupe, and I think it's an extremely attractive fun to drive car !I also think it looks way better than the bk2 personally, and I'd take it over any new N hyundai . I'd have to strongly disagree with you about the genesis, and there is also a bunch of different aftermarket parts for the 2.0t and the v6 and a site dedicated to just hyundai genesis called (genracer) there is a 2.0t that made 1000hp and another that was used in formula drift.
They're badass. Is it a 5.0 like the sedan
I also agree with this i enjoy the looks of my bk1 except for them taillights nothing a pair of spec D taillights cant fix though also gc tuners another good site or car parts also enjuku racing and khartunerz too
You could get a 1000 horsepower out of a Chrysler La baron 1000 horsepower is not impressive as it was 10 years ago
I have a 2010 3.8! FBO tune and god I love the car so much it feels really quick after a tune and some bolt ons and overall a great car!
@Morgan85 not so much about the hp more, so ment to show that the car can be modified to be pretty fast and does have an aftermarket following. And yes, obviously i know 1000hp isn't a lot these days, but 1000hp in such a small car out of a 2.0 4 cilinder turbo is pretty impressive.
Rarely comment on YT. You are spot on about Hyundai, the past, the present, and future. Very cool for sure.
I test drove an Elantra N out of boredom and curiosity. A week later I drove home in a brand new Kona N. They are amazingly fun and capable. Drives like a FWD Porsche. I ask everyone to go to a local Hyundai dealership and test drive one. It will completely blow you away
As a 2011 Genesis Coupe owner, I will never get tired of people asking me what my car is and then thinking I'm just messing with them when I tell them it's a Hyundai.
Same here
I have a friend who works for Hyundai here in Australia. He owns and races an i30N. He showed me what is in those cars as standard...mind blown! I am really impressed with the engineering and tech they have now. Even the after market stuff that is available for them blew my mind. I think Hyundai are getting serious now and look to be doing well...finally.
Even the non n are cool, my mum has one of the new ones and of all the cars shes had its the first where im like, i actually kinda want it
They are making some capable cars but i wouldn't go anywhere close to saying they are "cool" but hey that's subjective but i don't think the brand has crossed that bridge just yet. If i legit got one most of my "car" friends would still tear into me about it regardless if its quick ect lol
Have a 2020 Veloster Turbo, absolutely love this car. Its got a reactive feeling and no sluggishness, it really hits the spot for daily and "fun" driving.
I've owned seven Hyundais. I love the brand. I've had a Honda and a Toyota thrown in there too but I've always returned to Hyundai. My experience was overwhelmingly positive with only my 1995 Elantra GLS being the negative. My Accent, Tiburon, Veloster and three Tucsons were great cars. Drove my Tibby for almost 12 years before I sold it and I miss it to this day. So fun.
I’ve seen a few i30N getting around in Australia recently.
It’s a nice looking good performing car. The light blue looks nice as well.
That 'Performance Blue' as they call it is such an awesome colour honestly
I have one and it’s seriously the most fun car I’ve owned. It’s not the most powerful but it is a massive grin machine.
@@AgentSquirrelA tbh power was cool a couple years ago, but now lambo's are getting beat by family ev's, so I would much rather just have a car thats fun, then one with high hp.
It seems like Hyundai has really improved their quality and reliability issues that plague older ones in their newer cars while still being relatively cheap and accessible. I'm excited for them, even if the Veloster N has kinda struggled in rally.
I20 n* and they only struggled in the last 2 rallies because they won the manufacturers in 20 and 21 and last year they lost because of reliability because their car was much faster than toyota’s or Ford. Tanak was the fastet driver and could have won if his rear suspension didn’t decide to break every time he was in the lead
Lots of recalls regarding to their engine fire issues.
I am guessing this comment will be deleted, as it has been on another channel.
@@danoninho5880 Reliable for 2 years and then breaks constantly? Hyundai are consistent at least, love to see them bringing that spirit to motorsports.
Has Hyundai in the past lacked in quality, yes. But reliability? You could rack up 300k miles in a Hyundai drain the oil and grab 50k more miles before you noticed anything was wrong
@@zachboyd5552 don't encourage people bro. No car should be driven 300k without an oil change.

I still love the look of the 2nd gen Tiburon. In 2012 when I bought my stock 05, I got many many comments on it. Restaurants, shopping, parking lots, etc. People though it was cool but were surprised it was a Hyundai. I still have it, it is my first car. I kept it because most of the folks I know who got rid of their first car seem to regret it. Also, I still like it.
No they didn’t. Don’t lie! Nobody was ever impressed with the tiburon. Your car isn’t cool and it will never be worth anything…
@@adamhayden5152 jeez man, what's wrong with you? I have a 2nd gen tib and I get compliments as well. Who cares if they aren't worth much, if you only care about a cars value than your not a car guy, just a douche

My first car was a black 2nd Gen tiburon with a V6. I absolutely loved it! The six speed was so smooth, the engine was super reliable and made for a fun drive. Aftermarket definitely wasn't there back then but lots of people both friends and people walking by in parking lots told me it was cool which was good enough for me. Great video man! Keep em coming.
same but i had the dark blue one. great cars.
I've been a Hyundai owner for nearly 20 years. My first car that I bought was the 05 Sonata GLS. I got 11 problem free years out of it. Plus, I love their design language. Then I upgraded to the 2012 Azera Limited in 2016. I still have that car... and it still drives and looks like new.. and ZERO issues since I've had it. It still turns heads when I'm out. The interior is dead quite and the ride is crazy smooth. It's features match that of any other luxury brand from the year without matching their high price tag. Win win to me.
i recently turned 16 and started researching cars and i think my dream first car is the hyundai genesis coupe is so nice. Idk why but it just hooked me instantly and it looked unbelievable
What a coincidence! I'm so grateful to be subscribed to Donut because I was just thinking about Hyundai's modern cooler looking cars and thinking if Donut can make a video. And lo and behold, its here! Thank you Donut 💖
I think the new Hyundais look horrible ugly. I would never buy one. The ones from early 2010s aren't as hard to look at.
I just bought a '22 Sonata N-line and I love it. Some don't like the "catfish" look but I think it's sharp. It's not a full on N car like they've done with the Elantra but it's so close and it definitely is fun to drive. It's not just an appearance package like the other N-line models. I am older though which I think is who they were going for with this car but from what I can tell online there's plenty of younger people into this car as well. I think the after market mods could be an issue like you say but it's still a new model only in is 2nd year.
Indeed i love the sonata but I don’t think i would buy the N line.how much did it cost?

I bought my Elantra N because I thought it was cool. I know a lot won’t. But there’s no way a true car enthusiast could deny it being a cool car. They might not like the looks, but you can’t deny the performance and value.
Honestly, that's the best value on the market if you want a true-blue sports sedan. I'm personally looking into the Elantra N-line, what I thinks a reasonable compromise between practicality as a daily and sportiness.
My family has driven Hyundai cars for years now, so as soon as I could afford to buy the Veloster N, I went for it. Its a phenomenal car for the money, and I can't wait to see what else Hyundai makes.
In 2010 I sat in a friend's mid 2000s Hyundai Accent and said, "I will never buy a Hyundai, this is terrible"
4 years later I bought a 2014 2.0T Hyundai Genesis Coupe, which I loved a lot. I miss that car, but sometimes you got to grow up and get a Subaru Outback.
The Velociter N 2.0T is the exact same as the one in the second gen Genesis coupe
Haha. “You got to grow up and get a Subaru Outback” is an outstanding quote.
my first car was a 2012 hyundai sonata and that is still to this day one of the best cars i’ve ever driven.
My first 'cool' car was a 2001 Tiburon SE in 2003. Loved it to death and it made me feel like a king. Sold it when I moved abroad, then 10 years later, returned & tried to find another. Never could find anything worth while - all of the Tibby's of that generation (2000-2001) were rusted out, beat to hell or simply 'parts cars'. Managed to find a unicorn this year and proud to say I'm back driving a 2001 Tiburon in cherry-red with a really silly race-spoiler bolted onto the back. Never been happier!
Got myself a Genesis Coupe 2015 2years ago after owning 2 crappy mazda , and MANNNNNN I love that car ! Got so excited when i saw you guys finally made a video about Hyundai , imo it's an underrated brand that deserve some love.
P.S. : The styling is so fking there ^^
Yeah nolan is faded on that take lmao
Yeah tbh kinda sad he didn't speak more on the second generation
What were those Mazdas?
One of my favorite cars was a 2 door Excel. That little 3 cylinder motor put out decent power and the steering and suspension were amazing. You could floor it through tight turns without letting of the gas. Only got rid of it after the hood popped up at 60 miles an hour. Put the fear of God in me. In hindsight I should of just put hood pins in it and kept it.
I think we all have cars that we regret selling for reasons that aren’t so important to us now
I just bought a Hyundai Elantra Limited. Not N series, but same price. I love it, it drives incredible and I can't complain about 40 mpg. Even if I'm whipping around cars running late to work, I'm still getting 38!
I bought a 2016 hyundai sonata and LOVE it. It is absolutely fun to drive, styling looks cool to me, and is perfectly normal looking to regulars
As an owner of a 2014 sonata, I love the thing! Living in a cold climate presents major issues, but I haven’t had those. This year I could not get snow tires and the sonata has held up great handing on sport radials from a Stinger GT. The power is good and the engine is very reliable.
