I generally keep my cars for 12-15 years and this will be my last car. Do you have any idea on possible longevity/reliability for the new Barinas? I do know they are made in Korea but probably not to the Hyundai standard. Any thoughts?

Hi there,
We havn't heard negative reviews about the Barina. The reviews are fairly good.
Longevity of these are still an unknown figure.
However there are a few other options of similer vehicle that may be worth consideration. Suzuki Swift, Ford Fiesta, Vw Polo, Mazda 2, or Hyundai i20.
Just depends on your personal preference.
Hope this helps

Thanks Cade, Longevity is a big issue for me. Tried the Swift 1.4 and 1.6 - both "whined" for me. Will check the Mazda and Hyundai out.
