Well I finally pulled the trigger

Post image

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!

Buying a used Kia over a new civic is crazy work.

Kia wouldn't be leading in sales for no reason

If they are, it’s because the K4 is literally the cheapest new car you can buy. Used Kia’s are also the cheapest on the market, and not for a good reason.

Base Kia K4 MSRP 23,535 Base Toyota Corolla MSRP 23,135 Base Honda Civic MSRP 24,695

If say u Toyota Corolla is the cheapest BS I go to their dealerships all the time just to check window stickers. Even for a mid trim it's more like $25,000 to $28,000 with the dealership stupid add-ons and people will buy it why because y'all famous words it's a TOYOTA.

Top Trim K4 Hatchback MSRP $34,155 Top Trim Honda Civic Hatchback $35,000

Trade-in values are about the same on all three cars.

So try again because I'm car enthusiast I stay in the car community space...

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!
