People pick 2nd hand K car because 2nd hand K car no value at all.

This is real reason.

There is a reason why no value, because K car is lousy to drive. Poor engine and chassis and high FC

Don't be penny wise pound foolish

Pity u still in dreamland.. Dont want to listen to the truth

Sometimes the truth hurts..

I am in car industry for so many years. Driven so many cars b4

Who buy Korean car is really bodo. Not even 50% of the Japanese in terms of technology.

They are still so far behind the japs. Only noobs who dont know about cars will even think about buying Korean

The old one yes

Forte above the korean cars are better equipped and have similar quality with japanese car

The low resale is just 1-2k difference due to perception that japanese is superior

U dont get my point.

Quality i have no doubt they hv improved.

I am talking about their engine technology and the way they drive.

Put it this way, its very easy to make a car with good quality interiors etc etc. Just slapgood quality stuff in it.

But its not easy to make an engine thats drives as good as a honda or toyota engine.

When i drive a Honda, i feel the car is so smooth and easy to rev. It has a small 1.5L engine but feels energetic and powerful

When i drove the Kia forte many years ago, the engine felt lazy, not smooth at all, and does not feel powerful even its a 2L engine. Summore it drank fuel like nobodys business. And mind you it was a new car with less than 2k mileage on it

I beg to differ

I owned Kia Rio 2013 in the past and the level of refinement and tech is way ahead of japs in similar class and price

The feeling of 'smooth and easy' rev is typical japanese car trait - they tend to be light on the throttle but not everyone like it as it some feels it is too lightweight and 'floaty'
It felt like a 'toy car'
But Kia cars are more like european cars - the pedal feels heavier but once you pickup the speed it feel more planted and solid compared to japanese

Thats why i tend to bought conti cars when i sold my Rio
*
Wtf does engine easy to rev and lightness got to do with feeling floaty on the road?

Pls don't compare conti cars with Korean cars la. Conti cars engine is fantastically built. Besides Korean cars are heavy which explains why their FC is bad.
