Never been a fan of Korean cars myself.
Sure they are reliable and look alright but they are built to a cost and anything built to be cheap generally isnt much good, but to be fair if the car does exactly what it should you can hardly complain for the price.
Ive noticed this with the cheaper European brands aswell as the Korean stuff.
Then again, not many new cars these days have that solid feel.
If you arnt paying rolls royce money, thou shalt not get a rolls royce quality ride
