How well-built is Tiburon in general?

I have 08 SE and have been wondering what you guys think of our tibs, how well they are built compare to other cars with similar price range.

I personally really liked it because it gives low ride feeling (stability), nice sound, nice shifting quality, 6 speed, and nice body rigidity. I can feel the car is firm and steady even at high speed. And for me, it looks even better than mustangs, gen coupe, or even 350z. I think Hyundai did a pretty good job on our cars except the powertrain.
But just because it's hyundai, all my friends think it's a piece of crap, low quality, wasting money.
They think Toyata is superior in terms of everything.
But when I drove my friend's Scion TC, it was not really that impressive.
Actually I felt my tib way better than TC in anyways.
Maybe I was a little biased just because i drive tib.. i don't know, but I tried to compare as objectively as possible.
At the high speed cornering, I felt a lot of understeer whereas our tib was almost neutral despite the fact that it's fwd.
I know our V6 doesn't have the horse power it should have
but its low end torque is noticeable and made the car easy to drive especially on up hill.

What do you guys think?
If you consider only mechanically excluding maker badge, is tib pretty decent car?
