Before any one starts making comments about Korean cheap quality suggest you take one out for a test drive and see what you think of it. Obviously buying used would be the smart thing to do. Have a car dealer friend who is buying one for his wife (used) - not the wife the car.

Thanks for that thebears, looks very interesting. Would have to test drive extensively but looks to be a serious contender on price alone. Would be interested to hear what your friend with the used wife thinks of it!

Hmmm wife for sale, 1 owner, rides well, some cosmetic damage.....

Cheers

It's a good car, nicely put together and no troubles with the bodywork / interior. He was recently hit by a boy racer in a plastic fantastic, that fell to pieces on impact. The accord came away with a couple of bruises and scratches.
