I heard that Hyundais are made in Korea, also my second cousin owned one 9 years ago and it broke down a lot. Therefore, this car is crap.

That was actually my cousin. The real story is he was trying to check the oil and his members only jacket got caught in the belts which snapped something.

A couple weeks ago we ran a full test on the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe V6 Track. It ran respectable numbers, but not the kind of times we expected from a 300+ horsepower, rear-wheel drive coupe of its size.
Hyundai was disappointed to. So they went through the car following our track session looking for answers. What Hyundai's engineers found was a rear wheel alignment that was off spec and worn front tires paired with new rears.
Another problem was the car's ECU. It was programmed for damage control, not 0-to-60mph runs, so it was cutting power when it was needed most. We complained about this system in the test article and were sure the car would accelerate quicker if the damage control system was backed off a bit.
Hyundai agreed and made a running change to the ECU that keeps it from cutting in during fast shifts. Hyundai is fast at work reflashing all the cars now at dealers and at the port (If you're one of the few that has already bought a Genesis Coupe, call your dealer and they'll reflash your car for free). They also offered to mount some new tires and made sure they were pointed straight too.
Then they asked if we wouldn't mind running the car again. We said yes. Did it help? See for yourself after the jump.

Is not easliy amused.
Pretty damn respectable if you ask me, especially with Hyundai reflashing the cars to make them perform better for free.

Wow, the numbers before the flash are abysmal, it's a good thing those aren't the final numbers. A 300hp RWD car only has my SVT in the quarter by a tenth?
Props to Hyundai for taking care of the issue, though. This kind of reminds me of Mazda over-rating the RX8 and the whole mess that came with that, except that in this case the manufacturer is doing a good job.

Hyundai got busted for over-rating the original V6 Tiburon, and had to offer a public retraction of their bogus horsepower claims. They can't afford another one of those situations, so they had indeed better step it up.
