Japanese and Chinese are very different buckets. What is the long term reliability of Chinese cars? Nobody knows.

I wouldn't be too concerned.

Hyundai used to be synonymous with "garbage".

People who have purchased Hyundai/Kia products w/ the GDI Theta II engine would, perhaps, take issue with "used to be".

For what it's worth, this puts Hyundai around "industry average", above Acura, Audi, BMW, Subaru, Mazda, Nissan.

Below Chevrolet, Honda, Porsche, Toyota.

Hyundai is fairly unreliable. They were up and coming back in the 2000s and to some extent the 2010s, but their reliability has been quite poor in the past 5-10 years and I really wouldn't recommend a Hyundai to anyone.

Yeah maybe I'll get a Chinese car in 50yrs

Anecdotal, but I'm extremely disappointed with my Hyundai Tucson purchase. It's the first car I've owned. The drive train is gone on it and the mechanic says it's a common issue. Only 140k on it, 2019. It's hard to believe I paid so much for it and got so little use.
