They'll shrug it off like they did the Yugo and are doing to the Kia brand. You can't battle poor quality, fit and finish with pure crap.

Say what you want about Kia, but I just hit 20k miles without any problems whatsoever. I could have spent twice as much for a Chevy Cavalier, but I'd be on my fourth or fifth warranty repair by now.

Screw them all, i'll just keep my Chevy PU with 1.2 million miles on it!

It's 40 years old but not really since I had it sidelined for 10 years.

Actually if I were to buy a new puddle jumper for commuting, Kia is the first and last place I would go to. Good cars, great warranty.

Almost 140K on a '94 Chevy Caprice.

Lemme know when you reach that point (I'll be around!)

I had a Cavalier that had for 94k miles that only went into the shop once at 85k for an alternator replacement. My Chevrolet Camaro has 58k and never has been in the shop for repairs. If you take of them & drive right most cars will last without many problems.
