Episode 12
Within the next decade, South Korea could be making many of our basic cars. Marques like SsangYong, Daewoo, Hyundai and Kia may not be big names on the British car market in 1994 but they seem to be poised for massive expansion. They already make nearly two million vehicles a year between them, significantly more than Britain’s motor industry, and even the mighty Japanese are worried by Korea’s manufacturing potential. But this rapidly advancing nation has some quaint ways of doing business — like the way customers are actually encouraged to do their own repairs. Top Gear road tests the Hyundai Accent and looks at some of the extraordinary ways Koreans use cars.
