I've test driven most of the Hyundai (and a few of the Kia) lineup... and I liked most of the models.

However, IMHO, there are far too many customer complaints about the vehicles as well as miserable customer service, and far too many recalls for engine defects, failures, and fire risk to even consider a Hyundai or Kia... at any price.

Some of the guys here might be able to help, but I think you would find a lot more info on the Kia forum

It's so unfortunate that people are so dang sensitive these days with their fake outrage. By the way, I am female, and I find jokes about bad women drivers hilarious. Because there's some truth to those jokes! There's nothing more dangerous than a soccer mom in an SUV. I live within a short walking distance to a shopping center, and I walk over to the grocery store there a couple times a week. I can't tell you how many times I've nearly gotten hit by a "busy mom" in a SUV who's too busy to yield to a pedestrian when I'm crossing the street to get to the shopping center. It's scary. When you're on foot, you have no steel cage or airbags to protect you. Male drivers have always yielded to me when I have the right of way as a pedestrian.

Over here is mostly soccer moms in minivans since they are made here. Dads as well, but they spring for a RAM.

ern-diz I'm not a sensitive snowflake. LOL! It's so annoying that these sensitive snowflakes get their panties in a wad over everything. They're total control freaks. It's like you can't make an off-color joke or wear a funny Halloween costume anymore. And if you do, they'll start crying and posting hashtags on their Facebook accounts.

She crashed it again. Hit a bunch of shopping carts at the mall. In the smash repairs. Looks like I'm gonna have to hire a car.

Those darth vader looking Yaris it is. I miss driving manual so I'd go with manual this time.

My mom is on her second Kia Soul and loves it.

I was car shopping for my wife a few years ago and looking at a Kia Koup, so I asked a buddy who is in the repair industry, and has owned a number of Kia's. He said they're fine cars for for the money but at about 100k the repairs will start.

I didn't want to take the chance and bought something else.

[junorico24]

YO! they didn't have a YARIS.

But I got something better a Camry Hybrid.

These things are revelation. It's Amazeball.

Quiet AF and smooth. I haven't smiled in a while driving a car until i got in this one.

Almost anything will make you smile after driving a yaris.

Totally reminds me of my teen years. I got airborne in a couple vehicles. The two that achieved the greatest altitude were my parents' VW van and a neighbour's '69 Olds Cutlass. Also managed - and I don't know how - to drive on two wheels (passenger side wheels) for at least 100m in the VW van. Those were the days!

Only 4 wheeled vehicle i have ever been off the road in was a 1.7 Diesel Vauxhall Astra. It was a work car. Late at night. I was on a callout barrelling down a country road at... well... At least 60mph and then out of nowhere is a roundabout and i went sailing right over it into the air and landed some distance down the road. There were ugly tyres marks on the grass bank. The car landed hard, lots of crunch and tyre squeal. Kept it on the road though. What can i say. I think many years of mis-spent youth playing Grand Theft Auto prepared me.

I'm not sure if i did any permanent damage to the car. It was a wreck anyway. Used to spew black smoke and It was on its 2nd gearbox and had done 178,000 miles when i did that. I think the engine threw a rod a few weeks after that.
