Hyundai is cheaper to buy (initially) and has a better warranty. IN every other way, the Honda is vastly superior. Hyundai's handle poorly, don't get as good gas mileage, and their dealer network is awful. They are the K-Mart of auto dealers. After four years and 60,000 miles your Hyundai will be worth almost nothing, while the Honda will still get back 50-70% of it's initial cost. So overall, the Hyndai is not really cheaper.
