Kias have been good for years.
They're rated comparably to Honda, Mazda, Toyota.
A little lower than Nissan or Lexus
Way better than BMW, lincoln.
Hyundai, of course, are similar
They're not amazing, but if you think they're trash you're stuck in the '90s. Or basing on feels not facts
Ehhhhhhhh.
We have two Kias. An EV6 and a Telluride, so their EV and gas lines.
They’re nice looking cars, but the “Kia quality” definitely creeps in. If we didn’t get them on dirt cheap leases I would probably be pissed lol.
The KIA boys disagree. They were cheap crap in the 00s and the 10s and I really doubt their software in the 20s models is any kind of secure. Doubt their power trains will age well either, the Ioniq might be ok for an Ev but I wouldn't.
Well, then, you are uneducated.
I mean, security maybe but that's an industry problem.
No. The 10s are garbage. There are a few years of 00s sonatas that were OK if you didn't get a lemon but trash overall, the Korean Hewlett Packard of car manufacturing.
