Korea is the new (or another?) Japan when it comes to quality of goods.
- bigger_cheese 11y agoAnecdotally I dispute this. I used to drive a 2001 make Kia Rio (Korean car) I had many aggravating and expensive problems with it (power steering, Clutch and finally gearbox) It had a moderate amount of KM's on it but not excessive. For first 7 years I had no problem but after that every six months something seemed to go wrong with it. I now have a Toyota Yarris it is about to reach 4 year old mark so far no problems.
- Scuds 11y ago2001 is fourteen years ago and Hyundai/Kia have been making dramatic strides in design and quality since then. Reputations going back 15 - 30 years have little bearing on what's on the lot new today, this is especially true for GM and Hyundai/Kia.
- biot 11y agoSo, four years in, the reliability of your Toyota is exactly the same as it was with the Kia? No problem?
