Korean Cars

If you're looking to buy a new car, do not eschew Korean cars. They might not be the screaming bargains they once were, but the Hyundai is as stylish as they come and very comfortable and it has models that compete from Civics to Lexuses, and compete well. Likewise, the Kia, not quite as posh as the Hyundai (e.g., an outside temperature gauge is not standard), is cleanly designed and does a good job of copying the Japanese cars in instrumentation layout. Each also has various hybrid models that do not sacrifice styling.
