Kia's...AHAHAHAHHAAH....oh man

Kia's "catchphrase" or "motto" or whatever on their website is
"Make every mile count."

I find that very ironic...because when a Kia's 100,000 mile warranty expires, EVERYTHING BREAKS!!! HAHAHAH....yes consumers, make EVERY mile count, because you never know when it could be your last!!!

Kia's make me laugh..what a bunch of crap. A friend of mine named Ashley bought a Kia instead of a '98 Civic EX (Against my advice) and now her car is.....well, it's not doing too good, lets just say that. At least in a Kia you know when it's re-sell value will bottom out.

those comercials make me sick because they always compare it to a vehicle that would truly outdo it. I mean the one with the Toyota Sienna, those are great minivans and will last forever....it just makes me laugh because KIAS will need every mile of that warranty and the company knows that no one would buy them if they didnt have the warranty

i never understood kia. there cars handle ride sound and look like crap.

the 100,000 mile warrenty is the only reason why there so popular. that and they good gas mileage i guess. but imo they are shit as soon as the leave the lot.
