If you actually check the Consumer Reports website you'll note that the car is not recommended. See: New Cars: Ratings A to Z and look for the entry. |

I'll bet you your favorite cannabis (explains your blurting) 95% of consumers would reverse your blather and say Japanese cars are far better than Korean. Me, I like em both. Still think Japanese are "more better".

However, Hyundai is really on an excellerated learning curve and it does match or exceed the quality of some Japanese vehicles, and the Sonata is really on the doorstep. To say Korean cars are far better than Japanese models is quite an exaggeration though

I would say that Hyundai is going through something like its Korean Cousin Samsung. Sony was IT in electronics, but now Samsung is knocking down their door. This is a good example of a Korean company overtaking a Japanese company, and I think Hyundai will definitely succeed in their quest. For the record I think Hyundai has better reliability than Mazda, and definitely better than Ford. I do think that the Mazda 6 looks kick a**! http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/Reliability.aspx?year=2005&make=Hyundai&model=- Sonata&trimid=-1&src=VIP&tab=6&sub=-1 |

Shouldn't this be a discussion on comparing the Mazda6 and the Sonata and not a bunch of people guessing whether the Korean cars are better or worse than the Japanese cars? With cars, or anything we buy for that matter, it's just a crap shoot. You can go buy a Toyota and get a lemon and claim that Toyota is making a bunch of crappy cars, but at the same time buy a Ford and never have a single problem with the car. It's really your luck. Besides, both of these cars are American built -- does that make any difference? Is the Mazda6, which has a Ford engine and is built in the U.S. actually a Japanese car? I think both of these cars will hold up fairly well for the most part, but on the average, neither will probably standout one way or the other.
