@@maga6319 My never garaged 12 year old Sportage with 310,000 miles.

​@@chasl3645do either have GDI motors. That's their problem engine

@@lonniebeal6032 My wife's Optimal has 145000 miles on it. I believe people have unrealistic expectations out of their cars nowadays. My family's had lots of cars over most brands and getting them to a hundred thousand miles without having to get a new starter, an alternator, a transmission, or a headliner, window motor, water pump etc. Was considered a good car. So far it's been absolutely trouble free for the thirteen years we've owned it. At this rate considering everything stays working I believe I'd have to consider spending the money for a new engine to get another 140000 or more out of it. Alot cheaper than new.

All of the above cars are true junk and only imbeciles buy them. Tesla buyers are real idiots, brainless and complete imbeciles. Wait till the day comes for these idiots to trade-in or sell their junky Teslas and find out that their horrible Teslas are now worth about $20K less that they thought because of the cost of the battery replacement. All idiots who buy electric cars will be facing this horrendous huge loss due to battery replacement costs which is criminally and insanely super expensive.

Boomers.

good question. they built some great engines in the way past. 225 slant sixes were indestructible. I would run from a chrysler. camry here.

The world may never know.

They didn't. They went bankrupt and are now owned by FIAT.

Exactly right on all counts. Kia looks great but that quality. Yeah, just not there. Chryslers are also a dumpster fire on most ocassions, in my opinion.

@@ECPP The cult of Tesla, it's an honor to be a member of the environmentally conscious cult and still drive a "luxury" vehicle. When 12 years from purchase, a new battery is required and the recyling process alone has more of a negative impact than an old diesel truck.

@@ECPP BTW, today, Progressive and Statefarm Insurance just announced they are not going to insure certain makes of Kia and Hyundai (2011-2021) because of theft rate. This company can't even manufacture a preventative vehicle theft system!

Yep my 2020 Kia Soul GT-line had a faulty Transmission and KIA fixed it and the souls had engine problems as well as transmission problems and that is why I traded it in but none of the other 5 KIAs I’ve owned had problems I have a 2022 Kia Niro and absolutely love it haven’t had any issues or problems with it and it’s a hybrid so it’s saved me on gas. I was gassing my 2020 Soul every two weeks and it was costing me over $50 to fuel it and it had a 4 cylinder and that’s pathetic! My 2022 Kia Niro Hybrid gets up to 40+ mpg with a 4 cylinder but with the hybrid electric motor it gets like 40 to 50+mpg it has everything I need it’s reliable economical and safe. It is the best KIA I have owned

I totally agree KIA makes great cars and have the best warranty in the car business to back it up.

Seriously, Im on my 3rd Kia (2023 Kia Sportage). My other 2(Sedona and Optima) are over 100,000 and I have had zero issues.

My wife has a 2011 kia Sorento 300000 km on it going perfect I Changed shocks in the front other than that just brakes and oil and I have 2015 kia rio and it's been perfect so far

I would never buy a Tesla ever!

Love my Tesla, the issues he mentioned are things people should have verified before going electric. It’s not a Tesla thing but an ev thing. Going ev is not trivial and you’d have the same issue with a Kia, Porsche taycan or any other ev on the market.

Good job.

LOL WRONG! No one thinks a Tesla is cheap, the purchase price is quite steep. You are paying a premium for the high performance drive train.

@@Neojhun what I should say is people think it’s cheaper to own and operate and maintain which is far from the truth.

Florida electricians are ripping people off. The charge connection is nothing more than a dryer outlet. NEMA 14-50 outlet at Home Depot is adopt $15 bucks. Sure you my need to add some wiring. But 3 to 5K is a ripoff.

And overnight charging in my area North Georgia costs about $6 bucks for 300 miles of range. 2022 Model Y Performance.

What do you mean by upgrade home service? Don’t most homes have enough capacity to add one 240v?

Excatly

No problems with Kia myself. People like to say they're bad but bought one with 200k miles on it and not maintained. But that's Kia's fault right?

very well said 💯

Unfortunately there are suddenly arising situations when don't see almost anything at all! What do you do? Then you must consider the following statistics... In Sweden, with 10,5 million people, die every year slightly over 200 people. As for instance USA which is 33 times bigger there should die about 7600 people, but in 2021 about 42,000 died! Should not the Americans learn to drive sometimes? In Sweden the numbers was also at that (the American) level in the 1960th!!! All kind of systems seem to be needed!

I agree, the only thing I like is automatic emergency braking (not that I've ever had to use it, but if it could save me from a potential insurance nightmare from a rear-ending it's nice to have) the rest of it is handholding for dumb idiots that can't put the phone down

Souls are such garbage. All the ones I've seen are always in the shop. And they drive so bad my friends mom got rid of hers for a Corolla.

And another big cause is tire shops that they overtighten the wheel nuts. This puts a stree on the rotors...causing them to warp when the get hot.

I appreciate that!

Hyundai and Kia are nice cars. Drive like German cost way less to repair. Toyota lovers will never understand that

They suckered a lot of folks because it looked like the XJ.

every car maker seems to think that a software adjustment is the key. well, if the mechanical parts are junk, you can upgrade the software all u want and wont solve the problem of a crappy "hardware" car.

Those were not great vehicles and I had one as a long term loaner years ago and it seemed to lose power with time too. Not impressed

Yes Tesla’s the smallest dent the insurance company will total the car, CRAZY.

In Sweden and Finland, I don't know Norway, but I think it's the same. People use 11kW chargers (3 pfase 400 V), 55kWh in five hours. Some others use 3.7 kW chargers (2 phase 240 V and 16 A fuse, which many newer houses get along with even though the heating also is electrically. In Sweden Tesla's are popular among the taxi drivers/companies, who drives 500,000 in maybe 4-6 years. Two very important things with Teslas are, a very functional media system and pre heated batteries. To be able to use the capacity of fast chargers in cold weather the battery need to be pre heated an this starts a number of minutes before you arrive to a predicted charging station. At least here in the Nordic countries electricity is, or has been and will be in the future, quite cheap, and gasoline and diesel will not be cheap in the future, and isn't cheap now. Diesel about 2 USD/litre!

A good maintenance routine will go a long way to avoiding many of these headaches. Ford's 5.4L 3 valve V8 are notorious for seizing up due to lack of oil change maintenance. But with a bit of love and diligence, they can be decent (not great) performers.

You don't need to buy a ferrari, or Lamborghini. Just buy a Toyota, or Honda.

Exotics like Ferrari's are just toys for adults. A lot of people COULD buy them, but they're only good for fun and for showing off.

All of the car companies are recalling a lot nowadays. It's a combination of cutting corners, buying parts from the cheapest bidder and a lot to do with software updates on the many complex gadgets they put in cars now. You used to make your car speed up by pushing the gas pedal, which had a cable on it to open the throttle and make it go. Now, your gas pedal is a potentiometer (like a volume control on a radio) that tells the computer you want to go faster, then it sends a signal to the electronic throttle body and tells it to adjust. Some cars even have brake by wire so your brake pedal tells the computer to tell the brake system to engage instead of a hydraulic piston pushing the pads to stop you. Some advantages of these, but far more complex and far more likely to fail when it gets older. Cars have up to 50+ microprocessors, hundreds of sensors and miles and miles of wiring, lots of stuff to fail!

A very expensive mistake pal!! 😅

You should’ve done a little more research! 😂

i'm in vietnam and i bought kia sportage latest version 1.6 turbo 10 months ago, i have done more than 9000 km and have not had any problems with engine, electrical system, suspension and i tell you The roads in Vietnam are a hundred times worse than in the US or Europe, you always have traffic jams, potholes everywhere and every 5 seconds you have to brake because there are too many motorbikes. the car still works stably in the environment in Vietnam, so I think it's a pretty durable car.

@@chimhung7873 💯 agree. Good choice 👍

@@chimhung7873same story with me US market is different asia gets korean made ones and the latest kia and hyundai models are very improved which is why they are competing head to head with toyota and honda.

@@Tingtong-gg5oe yes we get the Korean spec here in Australia. I’m on my second Kia. First was a 2007 Sorento Global Circuit. Still strong when I got rid of it with 300,000kms, yes 300,000 😮 never had an issue. Regular maintenance is key. Now have a 2022 Cerato GT. Sold a 2021 Honda Civic RS for it and couldn’t be happier. Cerato has more features, more power, better handling, better transmission (not a stupid CVT) and believe it or not better resale. Kia is also the 3rd best rated vehicle in Australia after knocking Mitsubishi out of the top 3!

What engine do you have in your Jeep?

Hyundai/kia are good car, it's the people that don't maintain them, then complain when they don't last

Kia and Hyundai are ok as long as you maintain them change oil regularly using good oil, check where the vehicle is made in Australia they're made in Korea, Ive also heard in Europe they dont have any major problems either. They just dont build them that well stateside, if its made in US I'd be hesitant to buy them especially with a 2.4l THeta Engine, or DCT transmission. I have a 2015 i30 (sold as elantra in US) its a solid car change oil every 8-9k never had a problem. Their older non GDI engines are far more reliable

@@markd_aus9809 Agreed 💯

Did you visit the KIA dealership to get the problem fix? You didn't, so you allowed them to steal it.

Absolutely any AMG is a special vehicle. I would and more specifically, my wife also likes them.

I bought an 06 kia rio lx 7 months ago with only 57k for $400 dollars. Body and interior still good. It already had a tune up and new tires. The only thing I've replaced was the timing belt, water pump, cabin air filter and pcv valve just cause, camshaft position sensor, transmission fluid and filter change. I got 64k on it now. Have been reliable to me so far. Then again can't really complain since I only paid $400 for it.

You wonder why??? Its because of the TIK TOK CHALLENGE, for thieves to steal as many as possible. THATS THE ONLY REASON, and Hyundai and kia just announced yesterday they will install immobilizer systems on all the cars that didn't have one for free. Stop hating !!

@@jameshhenderson8243 We know..

My 2017 Elantra just turned 98.000 miles. I bought it new. It has been the most reliable car I've ever owned. It has needed 0 repairs, and has 0 issues. Its loaded with all the goodies and everything still works like new. It runs perfectly fine, sounds healthy, uses no oil. Transmission still shifts like new.. , a VERY RELIABLE CAR INDEED.

Also, the issues applied to certain production runs in certain years, not all of them. It's important to research that if you're shopping for one, but even then a lot of them got new engines under warranty so they are fine now.

A firework is pretty incredible for the entire 10 seconds of its life but with a car engine we want long life and in general Chrysler made engines are garbage.

super fast??? lol in which application

Best advice is to ignore their recommended oil change interval and change it no more than every 5000 miles. Some say that disabling the auto start/stop system each time you drive can help too as it reduces the number of startups, which is when the most wear happens. You also want to avoid very long idle time such as hitting the remote starter repeatedly to warm it up on cold days. It's better to get in and go so it warms up faster. The newer oils can last 10k miles, but the problem is that a lot of gunk and carbon is floating around in it and can eventually clog up your rings and oil passages to the bearings.
