Korean cars are garbage, sorry to anyone who has one. They have made huge gains, but more often than not under the skin they have serious flaws still.
2011+ Elantra for example. The bottom ends of those things are made of paper. Even our GM store has worked on 3 since I started there. Hyundai had to recall all of them, screwed up the recall manufacturing twice, and really had to cover their ass against an class action. Also, their electrics are horrendous, with lights going out all the time...on even new vehicles. Oh, and their door handles fall off and their alarms go off with no way of turning them off other than disconnecting the horn.
Santa Fe transmissions? Yeah, again made out of paper.
I would rather have a FGC
