Change "Elantra" to "Impreza" and that list sounds exactly like the typical gripes I've read over and over about the Twins. And based on the number of responses in that thread where people refute OP's claim, just as unrealistic/uninformed as the Twins' list.
And this is all based on????

-Poor Build Quality
Where did you get that from? Absolutely no issues with mine. Has over 33K miles and not one rattle or noise. My BRZ with 10k miles, that car rattled and made more noises than any car I have ever owned. I got scared every time I drove of RR that a piece would fall off. And loved those crickets!

-Horrible Tires
Hum, the stock tires on the twins ain't much to brag about. In fact I replaced them with a staggered Hankook setup. Hankook tires are also on my Genesis, no complaints and highly rated tires.

-basically paying $10k more for an Elantra with RWD
Really, Ah, no comparing the two.....

-loads of cheap one time use plastic bits
Have you actually sat in a Genesis? Yes it has hard plastic parts like most cars. But most of the materials are high grade, soft touch.

-noisy (in a bad way)
Hum, not mine. Only noise is that great sound from the V6

-Premium sound system sounds worse than basic sound system
Again, what is that based on?? The 360W Infinity sound system, well not the best I've heard is still pretty damn good. Way better then the stock BRZ system...which I had the OEM sub too.

-Annoying Nav
Care to expand on that? The nav does just what it is suppose to do. Again, no complaints.

- really.. nothing Premium about it..
Guess another Hyundai hater.
