Spurman Supercharged July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 I changed from avante to ceferio. Now that's the problem. Cefiro maybe more comfortable to sit in. But it's nosier. A bit problematic, etc. And koreN cArs are seriously way too beautiful. Those who own Korean cars have better taste. Look at the new civic, personally it's fugly. Look at the almeria. It's super fugly. And my cefiro. It looks better than teana ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbuktu Clutched September 29, 2012 Share September 29, 2012 I don't know the TS' intent of linking Korean cars with people whose salaries are $75K, or lower. It's rather condecending IMHO, esp for people in that societal group. (no wonder the TS has been banned ... hehe). I do own a Korean car and an OPC one at that. It's used mainly for marketing and also to places (e.g. HDB car parks) where there is a higher probability of sustaining dents and dings. I have >3 cars and the others are all German luxury marques, which I keep at home, to work and for business and other social dinners. And while my salary is way higher than the TS' cutoff of $75K, I can unabashedly confirm that my 2009 Korean OPC is super reliable, with no breakdowns - mechanical, electrical, or otherwise. Just normal, scheduled servicings. My personal (non-political) rationale: Once you have amassed enuf normal plate cars in your stable, why even go on continuing to "donate" that $17,000 upfront and higher annual road tax to the govt?
