In the beginning, Korean cars were ugly junk. Now their cars are reliable and well designed like European and Japanese. My Hyundai has almost 100.000 Km and it's still like new. Nothing bad ever happened.
The Chinese are not like Koreans. New Chinese cars have good design now, but unlike Koreans, they are using Japanese engines and other parts to be reliable.
If you are poor, you can easily buy Chinese cars now, but they are still made from Japanese parts.
But Koreans managed to achieve real European and Japanese quality. When I was choosing between European and Japanese as usual, they were all with the absurd 3 cylinder junk engines. The only car with a normal 4 cylinder engine I was able to find was a Korean Hyndai.

Doesn't change the fact that they are garbage, your post is based on one car - yours. 100K is nothing wait till you reach 150.
