Good value for money if you are planning on driving it for 6-8 years. Poor resale value. Banks are more likely to approve Japanese cars in same price bracket than Hyundais and Fords. Cosmetics are expensive. A broken front grill or headlamp will set you back plenty. When you step into 3rd party insurance, you will be paying half the price of parts to be replaced (when you are not at fault and the repair is covered by the insurance of person in fault)
