In this Top Gear segment, Jeremy Clarkson and James May take several Korean-made cars out for road tests -- including the Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent. They aren't too fond of these vehicles to say the least, as you'll see in the videos. Watch after the jump.
I'll be honest, I drive one of these. It's a Chevy Optra, 2005 model, and I think its not bad. Sure, it's quite different from my other car; an all original, low miles, 1983 Chevy Camaro Z28 which I also love. I like the utilitarian fell of the car, it's trunk and interior volume are every bit as good as a Civic sedan. Power wise its not as peppy as a Civic but I can't complain about the fuel economy compared to my Camaro! It's pretty tame in terms of the fun factor, but that's not what my wife and I were looking for, and yes, it was cheap and came with a good warranty; exactly what two full time students need.

These guys have only liked one pacific rim car, and it was the Hyundai Tiburon (which is actually a great car)
The rest are junk, and I guarantee you'll be cashing on that warranty alot sooner than if you had bought a civic
