go for the hyundai or kia if ever you're getting a korean car unless you really want to be unique out in the streets. models coming out from the hyundai/kia stable are getting good reviews both in the US and European markets especially the CRDi diesel models.

after years of using american/japanese brand models i'm starting to like korean cars (turning point was purchasing a 2006 CRDi-equipped starex and case in point is recently acquiring a second korean car: 07 kia carens). if people can just get past the stigma brought about by earlier and gray market korean vehicles then they'll see that korean cars have both practicality and quality backing them up
