The rust happens because the cars are built to crap standards. ANY real car person knows that Korean cars are horrible. Ask anyone who works on one. They will tell ya that.

Actually it's the ignorant idiots who think they are built to crap standards.

I know hundreds of car people who build street rods, musclecars and new Musclecars. NONE of them would ever own a Korean car. NONE. Oh wait one bought a Genesis coupe a few years and kept it 6 months and traded it in. Said it was the worst car he ever owned.. The only people who own Korean cars are non car people or young people who are sucked into their slick marketing ads.

Like I told you.. They are built sub par. The mechanic proved it to me. I figured you were right ad they got their act together. He said he repairs more Korean cars then any other country origin vehicles.

Ya know I could understand buying a Korean car IF they were indeed cheaper then any other cars out there. But they are not. Why would you buy a sub standard car if you could buy a Japanese/American/European car for the same price?

Really? You had to dig this up a month later to say the same crap you've already said that doesn't even answer the question that was asked? What did that accomplish?

Hey guys look at me, I need attention! The reason people buy them is because they are better in one way or another.
