This is a toughy...
Any clues as to why these cars only?
if i really had to choose from the options above i think i would go for the Sonata...
I hear its been highly rated with alot of improvements over previous models. The kia is basically built on the sonata, but with the Kia badge.
if u would prefer a more professional opinion rather than mine - suggest u check out:

I dunno, but i would say put a little more & buy a new civic?corolla?sunny?
It'll last u much longer, and wont let u down that easy

plus a civic or corolla will not depreciate as badly as a Hyundai or Kia or Chevrolet....
Imagine - u pay 50,000 AED for a Kia - 3 years from now u will find it hard to sell and would probably get around 20-25K for it.
On a corolla after 3 years u would probably sell it for 35-40K
think about it - but if u still need a large car then i would suggest the Sonata.
How about buying a car second hand (used) ?
As i said - Hyundais, Kias and Checrolets have bad resale, which means u can pick up a slightly used one for a good price AND save some money

I Agree With U Accord 98....The Resale Value Of Kia,Hyundai And Chevrolet Is Not Good....Plus It Is a Little Hard 2 Find The Parts Of These Cars

lemme guess, he has to get a mark2?Nismo wrote:they all r shit .... trust me do not go for any one of those ... I heard you had a hyundai before, nismo
Yeah, i'd say as well, save up some more and get the civic, or the accord. Accord is a good value for what you get for it. Nice large saloon, for a good decent price
