As an American, no one I talk to in person believes me when I say that Kia and Hyundei are well regarded, if not very economic, automakers in the rest of the world.
The only “real” Kia/Hyundei the US ever got was the KIA Borrego, which I’ve seen in person handle light trails as well as a 4Runner or Pathfinder
If you’re not in the States, Hyundai and Kia are in the top 5 for reliability, and are much more affordable than Toyota and Honda
Best avoided if you live in that one country who’s manufacturing laws are designed to benefit shareholders rather than consumers though lol
The wave of cars being stolen in the US via the use of USB cords has soured me on those brands permanently.
The fact that the vulnerability was fixed via a software patch did not do wonders for my opinion either.
Did you even read my comment?
Yes.
I was trying to add a bit of context for those who don’t know.

What is it about the US laws that turns those brands to shit?
