Got 2 Kia Souls, will go for 2 more, again. They added a few more inches to the 2020. Its a comfortable car. Yeah, its made for us seniors and kids looking for something economical. I call it the Beetle of the 21st Century.

5 Hyundais here. Well built, reasonably priced, great warranty, and excellent dealer service.

Hyundai also got J.D.Powers' highest recommendation in 2004 and I bought my Sonata that year. Other than oil changes and factory recommended maintenance, I have replaced the brakes all around and the Michelin tires once.

Glad to see that they have kept up their high standards.

J D Powers is an ad firm. Where did idea come from their ratings of cars are worth a plugged nickel?

[Celtic Conservative]

What about Lada?

Bought my first Hyundia Sonata in 1996. Most reliable car I'd ever owned. Still driving a 2013 and don't have any desire to switch.

Love my Genesis 5.0

429 hp. I've rediscovered the joy of driving.

So the Koreans are the ones giving the largest bribes to JD Powers these years.

Good on them.

It’s my family’s intention to get a Kia Telluride in the near future. It’s exactly what we’re looking for.

2017 Kia Forte 5 here. 1.5 years and no problems. Not anything to write home about in the handling department, but comfortable and reliable. And cheap!

The Initial Quality Survey doesn’t mean much. Detroit kept winning during the time that customers were migrating to Toyota and Honda in droves. If you want to keep your car forever, Consumer Reports is an excellent resource because it incorporates reliability surveys for cars up to 10 years old. The real bottom line isn’t that Honda and Toyota have some magic formula. The problem with Detroit is that they pay their UAW employees way too much. Which means they have to chintz out on parts quality. Any UAW supplier they use compounds their problem. UAW suppliers pay their employees too much as well, even without all the featherbedding. And that comes out of parts quality, whether it’s materials or processing.

Only 4k miles so far on my Turbo Elantra GT Sport, but Rock solid so far. And a bonus, I’m getting a steady 36 mpg on the freeway, and 37 if not running the A/C. Not great numbers but since it’s rated at only 32 I’ll take it. The 201 ponies and 7 speed DCT is fun in Sport mode running the paddle shifters.

Suprised Toyota wasn’t higher I hadn’t heard any bad news from them - maybe due to the higher price?

I bought a 2019 Kia Sorento based on JDP and similar services. Very impressed with car’s quality and performance.

[Don@VB]

PS....My Sorento was built in Georgia.

We bought a KIA Sedona in 2015. Good on gas, lots of room for the grandkids and very easy to drive. We are very happy with it.

Daughter has a Kia Soul. 75,000 miles and no issues, has been as reliable as can be. It’s also fun to drive. I wouldn’t mind having one as a work car.
