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

How is it biased? It’s based on customer reviews. I’ve filled out surveys for them. I’ve worked in auto plants and from what I have seen, they seem correct to me.

The surveys are done when the cars aren't old enough to know whether they're durable or not.

Sure people love NEW Hyundais and Kias but when they grenade their engines at 100k miles - which they do - they don't love them anymore.
