No EV’s for me. Y’all that may have not gotten around to looking at Kia...just my $.02. *Built in the USA*. I get paid to evaluate Kia dealerships sales associates knowledge and selling technique. In that process I have been blown away by the value-per-dollar...(bang-per-buck) that Kia offers. The Telluride line is 10/10 on all levels far as I can tell. The Sorrento is possibly even moreso. Amazing vehicles and best reputation in the industry. Best warranty in the industry. The Kia brand has evolved beautifully and is nothing like it was when it started.
Kia and another Asian brand (I forget which one) are the two most stolen cars in King County (Seattle).
I knew Kia Motors back in the 80’s when we supplied US Mil-Spec alternators to them for their copies of the classic 2-1/2 ton army transport truck. Rough and basic was their forte’ then, as opposed to Hyundai’s consumer styling. Some of Hyundai’s top end cars that they don’t export are on a par with Audi or Lexus. With the companies now merged Kia must be improving.

Yeah. It’s worse now.
Kia recalled over a half million Theta 2 engines due to failure.
Now over 3.4 million Kias are recalled due to fire risk over the anti-lock brakes. Kia is warning owners to park outside.
Sorry. Kia and Hyundai are OFF the list.
