My mechanic says to stay away from Korean made vehicles from many previous problems seen in his garage, go with Japanese. The foreign online reviews are generally good. I love the re-designed model Sportage, but not sure. Need advice.

$70 to fill from low fuel tk light - about 400Kms per tank with mostly short runs and occasional highway.
All brakes changed at 30,000Kms - aftermarket (ask for the Carens pads) and no brake dust since the change - was annoying with OEMs.
Looking at tyres in about six months (I'm retired -no pun intended).
Battery changed at 27 months (L&DG) also available cheaper at Pricesmart - with a little simple modification to the positive cable end - will do at next change.
Bad experiences at SS on first two visits ensures that I'm not going back day!!!
But i'd buy another sportage if this one doesn't outlast me.
