Which Korean Car to Purchase

Formula1
By Formula1

Dear QL'rs.
I want to purchase a new mid size korean car as my budget is limited. I have two options
1. Hyundai Sonata 2.4 lit
2. Kia Optima 2.0 lit

I know that they don't have good resale value but for personal use and after sales service, I want your advise. Which one to buy considering that I may travel long distances occasionally thatswhy I am not opting for any 1.6 lit vehicle. Please advise.

I used a Hyundai Stellar Prima for eleven years and some 230,000 km with no trouble, in Saudi Arabia the distance are far and many places to see, the Engine for Hyundai are strong and good service, Good luck

Recently I rented Sonata for a while, and I was very impressed with the build quality, engine response and overall drive. I would recommend it highly

The bigger the engine capacity is the better and more comfortable. Petrol is cheap here.... it's a secondary factor..
