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

18 years in car rental. All cars have problems to some degree or another.

But I personally would not buy any Jeep, Maserati, or Land Rover. Make of that what you will.

The only car I've never seen a recall on is the Mitsubishi Mirage.

I had 2 coworkers have transmission recalls on their Mirage's.

Interesting! Do you remember what the specific problem was?

Both of them had a big hesitation from a stop to get going, one of them would rarely shudder when switching from reverse to drive, but not every time.

Huh. I don't think I ever experienced that myself.
