Guy still driving the side saddle gas tank GM truck says “KIAs are junk”

Nothing wrong with that. I got an Elantra with all the features I wanted for under 19000 a little over 2 years ago that will carry me until I completely get out of debt in the next 2 years. Sure it’s not exciting but I’ve got plans and to meet them I have to drive an economical car that isn’t exciting. The horror!…

I’ve driven in NYC, I’ll take an airbag.

I needed something very similar to the mirage and the rock-bottom MSRP was tantalizing.  I just couldn’t hack it with the 3-cylinder.  I ended up buying a similar Hyundai with an extra cylinder for around the same amount of coin.  It’s been a trusty old mule.

The help.

Until you get crushed by an F150.

Wait, Kia sells more than one model?

Yeah, first minus 5 star rating. 

auto manufactures don’t issue recalls till the accountants and lawyers tell them that it is cheaper to issue the recall then paying out victims and their families

Luckily I was able to convince my sister-in-law to not buy a 2018 Outlander Sport. She was loving the cheap price but there’s a reason they’re cheap. She ended up going with my recommendation, a Mazda CX-5 thankfully. 

Good for them for offering a cheap EV but it wont pass the same crash testing as a Tesla.

There is no crash test data for the charming car, but GM says that 57 percent of the car’s body consists of high-strength steel.

I’ll trade the parking sensors for an airbag, thanks.

Oh my god, who is financing a new Mirage for 72 months? Please give me a bus pass.

Click-bait: Hundreds of Thousands of Kia Owners at Imminent Risk of Fiery Death!

Snark: Kia Tells Owners to Park Outside, Like Any of Them Have Houses or Garages. 

For the most part, I agree with this sentiment. But with the incoming redesigned Outlander, it’s basically a Nissan Rogue with a third row, better warranty, and in my opinion, better looks. Not to mention that they’ll probably have more cash on the hood and like COMTNDRVR says, they’ll give anyone credit. 

Mitsubishi dealerships are a sad place that no one should have to see.

I up your alt headline and raise you one

This title isn’t Jalop enough. Alternate title.

Maybe some of that spirit still lives in the form of the Honda E...
