| | | Posted by bandi I've met very few Kia owners that have had a bad experience with their car. Former co-worker's mom bought a 2000 Rio 5, it now has 430,000 km in it, and Kyle has driven the living shit out of that car since day one. Total repairs have been 2 alternators, a starter, 2 sets of front wheel bearings, and a hood from hitting a deer. You fail to mention that a large percentage of GMs also have are also a Koren shitbox... and quite frankly, Kia and Hyundai beat the living shit out of any Daewoo product I've seen.
| i fucking hate Daewoo too... the Lanos was the worst car I have ever driven. The fucking Aveo is a shitbox, a sort of fun shitbox, but a shitbox.

i've just known several people that have not had good experiences with Kias or their dealer networks. And the cars, shit these cars are cheap. You ever see Kias with 40,000 miles on them here, they're rusty and the CHECK ENGINE lights are always on... they just don't last in this area. Lower model Hyundais are guilt of this too... Accents and older Sonatas just fell apart on the other side of 50k here. and Nismo, you pompous douchebag, you want a car to weather Adirondack and Green Mountain winters, you buy a Cavalier or a goddamn Subaru! s
| Well, their dealer network east of the Mississippi is Kia's weak point, but its because historically, Kia had huge sales in America in the west; they actually COULD suvive alone being a West Coast only brand I think, but that's a different story. If you watch a Kia ad, they always show the cars driving in the desert of Arizona or the Pacific NW. I've met the owner of the flagship Kia Dealer who in 1992, was the first dealer in America to sell the Kia Sophia, Bob Lamphire. I met him one day while getting a part for my Passport. The reason why he became the first dealer for Kia is because at the time in the 90s, all the manufacturers worldwide no longer made a car for under 10,000 MSRP, which disappointed him. He was happy to hear that a Kia Sophia could be sold at 6995 MSRP.
