Hyundai always made reliable engines, people who say differently are memesters.

Early Hyundai were cheap beater cars that got amazing gas mileage and were the cheapest cars you could get by a large margin. Reliability was spotty.

Now Hyundai is very damn reliable and their cars are on par with most other auto companies. They're more reliable than Honda and Mazda, as of late.
