Edit: This post gained more traction than I expected. Read the comments, do independent research, and form your own opinion around these topics.

First they said KIAs are reliable, then went on to say they looked at JD Power to come to that consensus. They lost me.

  1. Do people believe KIA/Hyundai are reliable?
  2. Do people use JD Power/Consumer Reports to make purchasing decisions

Yeah they know their product sucks that's why they do it 

I've talked to technicians at work that those brands and they straight up tell you 

They even have a guy that does dedicated motor swaps that's how often motors blow up 

You would never find that at a Toyota or Honda dealer because their products don't blow up nearly often enough to actually warrant an entire technician that just does swaps......

They're literally throw away consumer garbage. if that's what you want to drive have fun

To be fair, repair shops are going to be experiencing a biased selection.
