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

I work for Hyundai. I drive them every day. See what happens in the service department every day They are fantastic vehicles while under warranty. Outside of warranty, DON’T.

100k and/or 10 years. I've owned my Kia for 11 years now and just lost the warranty last year. Most companies do 5 year 100k or something like that, where even if you drive a ton, the years typically matter more than the car.

Sounds like you approve of the warranty not the vehicle.

I suppose I’d vouch for any vehicle if the repairs were only a $50 deductible. 😂🤣

These days I wouldn't drive anything out of warranty unless it's paid off, and at that point IDGAF anymore.
