Just Czeching
I have just purchased a dealer pre-owned Hyundai i30 CRDI Automatic, which I was told was manufactured in South Korea, I am also informed that the next i30 CDRI Automatics will be manufactured Czechoslovakia. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? have I got a better car, or a inferior car?

They have been built in the Czech Republic since last November,
about 50km from the shadow KIA factory in Slovakia. I visited the plant in February, in the snow. It's the newest, most modern car factory in the world, so for that reason quality from it should be better than from South Korea.
