what's wrong with Japanese and Korean cars? according ADAC Japanese are by far most reliable cars beating all European brands, top 10 most reliable cars usually consists of half normal Japanese cars (eg. Toyota Corolla) and half niche European cars you will hardly see on road (think Porsche)

Nothing. We also considered some Japanese cars, but we found that they were generally more expensive (than e.g. similarly spec'ed Skodas or Seats).
uh, Seat is very well known for being very unreliable and by far the most unreliable brand of VW concern, Skoda is decent but pretty bad value against Koreans, if you equip Skoda same way as Korean you end up for sure on higher price. Japanese in general cost slightly more, but it's worth it for better engines, high quality, low risk of stealing and decent resell value, while Seat has zero value
I can't really imagine someone in US butting any of brands you mentioned, Seat is pretty bad deal even in Europe
Sorry, but the ADAC had excellent reviews for the Skoda models that we considered and good reviews for the Seats. I'd rather take their word than hearsay. Again, these models were cheaper than similar Japanese models, that we had also looked at.
Admittedly, we haven't looked much at Korean models. That's mostly because my wife (I don't have a driver's license) had no experience and consequently no opinion about them.
At any rate, we ended up buying a Skoda ;). And I see Porsches here nearly every day :p.
skodas are decent cars, it's just they are priced too high compared to Korean or even some Japanese brands which are better in all aspects
