looks is subjective to each individual.
to me, I will choose korean car because of the safety and other features provided and the build quality.
not so sure about the few cars that rosak here and there, I think those happen to CKD model.
So far my experience with 2 other korean cars, reliable and comfortable.
rosak yes, for CKD model, abs indicator rosak, door lock rosak, nth else (8 yrs car).
the other one SKD, almost 4 yrs, just a bit of knocking noise on dashboard and nth else.
My opinion for a car to be deem reliable.
It should be >5 years before the car start giving minor annoyances and >10 years before any minor issues.
Minor annoyances, i.e rattling noise, discoloration
minor issues, need to replace some non-critical parts
