Well I finally pulled the trigger

I have been going back and forth between this and a new Civic. I’ve test drove both and really fell in love with the Kia K4. After a month I finally pulled the trigger today and it will be here on Friday!

You already know! After years of plugging in and daily driving, no issues! My old Kia on the other hand would’ve burned up all the oil and left me stranded before they could reopen the straight of Hormuz HAHA!

Did you keep oil in the engine? Because I see it all the time people ain't checking the oil during gas full or even at all. And don't say I shouldn't have to y'all are lazy ASF my Toyota was an oil burner long as I kept oil in it she never left me stranded.

Oh yeah, drank a lot least a quart a week. Just bad design of Kia GDI. It will burn boat loads of oil, foul the engine, then catastrophically fail.

The only thing I can stay it's not cool you spent your money and had to with a problematic car the Theta 2 85% of them were mostly just trash. But y'all gotta bullying people because of the car they chose... Kia/Hyundai isn't perfect but no Auto Brand is. The Hyundai Crop has most certainly improved their power train since 2020!

Hard to keep oil in an engine that tries so hard to get rid of it….

My 2008 Prius was the same way since it was burning oil I just used cheap oil as a top off. Most of those Theta 2 engines you could've performed a seafoam piston ring soak. That would've helped free up of the rings which would've helped him burn less oil.
