The only reason you should buy a Kia or Hyundai is because you absolutely and literally can't buy anything else.
They are garbage cars riddled with problems you can avoid almost all of by adhering to only owning one so long as the bumper to bumper lasts. You may have issues, but at least you won't have any financial burden caused by their issues. An economy car should not be had under the same guidelines as a German luxury car.
Buy a Honda, Toyota, or Mazda; in that order. I say that as a Mazda fanboy.
Buy a Surly.
I could not disagree more. The privacy element is the only reason I would consider anything other than Kia or Hyundai cars. Japanese brands have been too slow to pick up EV tech and don’t have good affordable options like Korean brands do.
I would rank Subaru above Toyota in that
This is an awfully car based conversion for here
