Minuses:

Pluses:
reliable, cheap way of getting you from point A to point B
good on gas (if you have the Rio)
decent styling

^---- oh my god it is THAT bad

Thay are owned by Hyundai. and.... Hyundai,, much to most ppls surprise makes some very nice cars now.

However, the KIA is still well below a Hyundai.

 

[sharkygirl]

according to my best friend's father (who's a mechanic),they crumple like aluminum foil upon impact..

Lol like a 10 year warrenty means anything when you take it in every 2 weeks

What are you looking for? ?There are much better choices i&quot;m sure

 

[RossMAN]

If you're looking for a comparable small sedan consider the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Ford Focus or Mazda Protege. Sure they aren't as cheap as the Kia but they're a lot more reliable and you might have a chance surviving a 5 MPH bumper accident!

 

[Zucchini]

pick up a consumer guide mag sometime Kia probably not as reliable as better brands like honda or toyota.

/me thinks Zucchini is following me around from Hot Deals to OT, looks behind my shoulder

Hope You Understand Nothing is Driveable And Inexpensive

I knew I wasn't crazy!

They must have made some drastic improvements in quality, else they would not be offering the good warrenty. And Hyundi quality is pretty darn good now, though it used to be bad.

folks will rag you for owning a kia. it's definitely a chick car,because no man is stupid enough to buy one.

 

[Modeps]

not only is it a chick car, but its a piece of garbage... all those ads about 100k miles w/o any tuneup or anything are complete horsesh1t.

Hyundai makes a really reliable cheap car. I had one for my first car and I still love that car. I sold it recently because I had no need for it since I have a new car. Although, it would have last for a long time. The resale value plumets, so if you are going to buy one make sure you plan on keeping it for the life of the vehicle or until its paid off, if not, you will lose some serious money because the resale will probably never match what you owe. Great car.

FettsBabe... what year/model did you buy, and how long did you have it for?

Hyundai has one of THE BEST 5MPH crash protection ratings in the compact/sub compact class.
