The Kia is not a bad car in our experience. Our neighbors on both sides have one. They look good, drive well, and they are happy with the dealerships. Both neighbors say they will never buy another American car again after their experience with their KIA’s.
I have no first hand experience, just neighborly reports.
The Hyundais are good too, Mom has one. I think Kia is 53% owned by Hyundai so they are the same animal basically.
Well, my friend drives a Kia Rio and things keep falling apart on it. Door handles fall off, the grab bar falls off. It is cheaply made.
I’d like to get a small SUV but the Soul is almost as ugly as the Cube.
