Typical old man rant.
Have a 2012 Santa Fe (same stablemate as the Sorento) with over 180k, still has its original AC compressor. As a matter of fact, that 2.4 runs flawless. All cars these days have the same amount of reliability, regardless of make. Its up to owner to make that responsibility.
Even missing a simple oil change or a small overheating can bring the 'mighty' Toyota down to its knees. I've seen it many times over.
Lol my girlfriend bought a Kia Rio, I told her it would be nothing but problems and she should have bought a Toyota. 6 years later, the Kia has been much more reliable.
Dont tell her I ever admitted it.
I live in Canada and I own two Kia Rios, a 2004 and a 2005. The TOTAL PRICE for both cars was $1,600.00 Canadian. They both have low mileage and go VERY WELL . I bought these two cars from people that did not want Kia cars anymore. They wanted new Japanese cars. I really like both of my little Kia cars ! I like Scotty Kilmer, but he is VERY BIAS towards the Toyota brand. I respect his opinion, but just imagine if the ONLY car company in the world was Toyota ! How much would we pay for a car ? Hence, I am happy that we have a variety of car companies to choose from. To each person their own choice. Cheers ! ! !
My Ford dealer and KIA dealer are side by side, we had a hale storm, all KIAS got destroyed, all Fords were untouched, so yes Scotty you’re right!
GF bought a very used Hyundai Santa Fe for her daughter.
Timing belt broke within 3 months and totaled the engine.
(I told her not to buy it) ?♂️
Now, her daughter has a Corolla. ??
I think modern Kia's look descent, but I'd never want to risk owning one.
My 08 kia sorento is awesome… I had to replace the ac compressor at 130,000 miles and the alternator. Now it has 145,000 miles. The 3.8 engine is pretty impressive. Just got to do regular maintenance and they last for 200,000+ miles.
A friend of mine had the previous gen ceed dirsel. Didn't lift the oil dip stick once in 24 months, high milage car. After I changed the oil and filter ? it still ran (like crap) for weeks until deemed a write off by the owner. It was smelling a bit apparently ?
Pretty solid engine to be honest, running cummute country/motorway daily. On bitumen basically ??
I feel like perfect car doesn't exist…
Beside Toyota Celica of course
Kia and Hyundai have stepped up on quality.
I got a 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo with the 6 speed manual and the 1.6 GDi motor. At 110k miles with the only issue being an oil cooler replacement at 100k. Otherwise, I've put over 60k on it myself and it's been reliable.
