What's your ride?
I just bought a 2009 Santa Fe diesel. And so far no complaints from me. |

| Sante Fe is a pretty popular car in the States it seems. Although if I were to buy a car in the States, I would but Japanese. What I don't understand is Koreans driving American cars. Why would you pay more money for a crappier car? |

I appreciate the variety in colors. White, off-white, tan, light brown, black... the list just goes on and... no wait it doesn't.
This post was only slightly more original than the recent onions at Costco post.
Anyways, I am jealous of your ability to buy a new ride but I live in Seoul and find no use for it here. Unless I could buy a W200,000,000 car and drive it around to pull in *bleep*.
American cars here... as you know sometimes quality isn't the only factor. Looks, being able to say you (over)spent so much on the car... |

Yeah that's probably it, but it's not like American cars are known to be "prestigious" cars. Most of them don't even look that great. Do Koreans see a Ford Accord and go, "Wah"? |

| I saw a Dodge Caliber / Charger? on the road here and at least it caught my eye because of the color and body, which I guess was the intended effect... |

I also appreciate Korean cars, especially when not driven by Koreans.
Actually I appreciate any car not driven by a Korean. Gives me that nice warm feeling of being able to cross the street safely. |

How much did you pay for it....did you take out a loan?
I bought a new SM3 at the beginning of the year with a 0% interest loan...not bad. |

I'm not Korean, but I think most Americans who see a Ford Accord would go "Wah?!?!?!" |

You're not Korean but you defend Koreans/Korean Culture tirelessly on this message board. What's your stake in all this? I don't get it..
If I was making bank..like you claim you are...then why would I care what a bunch of white losers were saying about another people that I have no association with. |

It's a diesel. So you're going to get some vibration. But the life of a diesel engine is 2-3X that of a gas engine. |
