Korean vs Japanese Cars

**Ginnova** · June 6th, 2011 08:16 PM

korean cars have gone a long way both in performance and styling. my next car would definitely be a korean car. before most banks would require at least 30-40% down payment for a korean car versus 10-20% for a jap car. Is this still hold true at the moment.

Yung FD ko, in 3 years sablay na engine support & belt tensioner.

Pero yun lang yung so far nagkakaproblema sakin. :hysterical:

in my opinion, mas competitive na ang mga korean cars ngayon. take a look at hyundai. lahat ng segment may panlaban sila. kung gusto mo ng maliit na kotse may i10 sila. kung gusto mo ng subcompact may accent sila. kung gusto mo ng alternative sa camry at accord may sonata sila. kung kelangan ng van pang pamilya may starex sila. kung SUV hanap mo may tucson at santa fe sila. pag trip mo mag sports car may genesis coupe pa sila! san ka pa? marami na din akong kilalang satisfied customers ng korean car brands. gone are the days when korean cars are still cheap and unreliable..

I still have my respect sa japanese cars since mas matagal na silang nag pa ply sa roads natin and most of them are reliable pero sa time natin ngayon mukhang nahahabol na ng korean cars especially hyundai ang mga japanese cars

ganyan din ang sitwasyon ng kaibigan namin dati. 2009. kami ang nagsasabi na wag bumili ng korean car. bumili p rin. kia carnival na second hand. dinala namin sa baguio.wala pa sa zigzag biglang umusok tapos nangamoy ung atf. ayun sa rapide baguio nag stay ung car ng isang buwan hanggang dumating ung new transmission assembly. eh di ok na. tinesting.. walang atras! so bumaba ng manila ung car ng walang atras. so kung bibili ng korean cars.. dapat ung BRAND NEW. suggestion lang

As we mentioned the older Korean cars suck! Basta mga 2006 pataas yan maganda na...

To TS: If I were you, don't listen to your eering friend and focus on your search. Besides, dito sa forums medyo open minded kami rito.

Happy shopping!!

If were talking about Hyundai, yeah, very competitive talaga. Pero if Kia, medyo di pa rin ako bilib sa kanila. My officemate's Rio encountered aircon problem during the first 9 months of ownership. Ayun, binenta ng palugi. Balik Jap. brand siya. (Vios 1.3E). If only walang issues yung 1.4 Accent, i would've recommended it.

*SG: yung sa Accent 1.4 ba, A/T lang ba ang may issue o damay din ang M/T?
