Are the new Kias bad cars?

Amy Dean asked:


I am very interested in the new Kia Soul but everyone is telling me that Kias are junk and that it will always be in the shop getting fixed. Anyone know why everyone is saying this? Experiences anyone?

kias are junk, you shouldnt waste your money on a kia because even though they are cheap cars (inside and out) you will pay for it in the long run

if you are looking for a cheap but good car go with names like

honda
acura
nissan

all the aboveare amazing on gas and can roll over in mileage

Kia got a reputation early on when they were first introduced to the U.S.

However, now they produce a very good product across the line, with one of the best warranties of all.

I would feel comfortable buying a Kia.

Kia is manufactured by Hyundai and while they arent as expensive as Hyundai theyre not as refined either. They are cheaply made and break down ALOT! Ford is better and thats saying something.

If ur looking for good brands, here are some of the best out there:

Honda/Acura
Toyota/Lexus/Scion
Nissan/Infiniti
Mazda
Mitsubishi
Chevrolet
Subaru
BMW
Mercedes-Benz
Volvo

Here are the brands TO AVOID:

Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep
Hyundai/Kia
Suzuki
Ford/Mercury/Lincoln
Pontiac
Saturn
Volkswagen
Geo
Daewoo
Oldsmobile

These cars are cheaply made and outdated in their make. They will be in the shop way more and you will be spending ALOT more of your time and money into these cars.

One car that i really love is the Chevrolet Malibu. It has all of the safety and convienience features of a Honda or Toyota but at a much lower price. Also parts are cheaper on American cars, although I like Foreign cars better.

Hope this helps, if you have anymore questions, just email or IM me.

Thanks!

No.

The 1980's and 90's Kia's were bad.

And the only newer Kia that is bad is the Kia Rio.

And the Kia Soul is a new car. They do not test reliability of cars until at least 3 years of age. There is no way to tell how it would be until you have owned it for a while. But judging from the other newer Kia's, it should be good.
