How about a KIA car? I did not think that i would ever consider one....but..times change

Question

What kind of luck have you had out of the kia brand?

Answer 1

They are good cars.

They were bad cars in the 90's so they still have a bad reputation.

But now they are reliable and great cars.  

Answer 2

The older ones are horrible.  The new ones are better but nothing great still.

Answer 3

They are junk.

Answer 4

My friends and I all work at car dealerships and see these things fail catastrophically right at around 100k miles. Transmissions fail, engines s***w up, it's not little stuff. It's drastic. Stay away from Kia or anything Korean for that matter. This includes hyundai and suzuki. And daewoo if they still make cars.

Answer 5

I bought a Kia Rio in 2003 and have not had any problems yet (only 20,000 miles on it though) it gets great gas mileage (31 MPG) and is a smooth ride.
