Kia has come a long way for reliability. Still cheap in some regard and maybe some dud engines/transmissions, but a lot better than years ago. You talking styling though?
EDIT: Ah I see you other comment about the theft. I think that was only a problem with the models that had key ignitions, no?
Yes, they had several years of models that had no immobilizers, because they wanted to save a couple of bucks. I have no issues with their styling at all, in fact I loved their quirky designs that I got a Kia Soul for that very reason. Too bad I had to let it go because no insurance company wanted to cover me, or if there was, it was insanely expensive for such a cheap car.
Those b-boy hamsters haha
