| ... 400 have already burned down in the last couple of years, and one catches fire every 5 days. I'm not sure about your assessment that "a few hundred" are effected, a bit more have already burned down, there's no reason to assume that this rate will be constant if it's age related. "I only care about how I am treated" Well looking at the sheer complexity on new Toyotas and how not repair friendly they are (try working on new Toyotas and see how it's really not what I'd call "DIY friendly"), As I see it Hyundai-Kia treat the owner better, they don't go taki ... | |||||

| Between Mazda and Kia definetly Kia. Kia Sorentos were reliable like 10 15 years ago but then all the US made engines and GDi and DCTs came along and they are junk. I would not get a CX-9 because it is a new design in Mazda's lineup. It is a turbo 4 cylinder in a huge cx-9. I would really consider getting a CX-30 or CX-5 or even a newish condition 2014-2015 CX-9. The Kia should be good for 80 90k miles before anything major happens but the Mazda is a better vehicle. Just realize neither have that good a engine the Kia is poorly made the specific cx-9 has a t ... | |||||

| @dan Thank You for the thorough explanation. I had a feeling there was some method to the madness of owning a Kia/Hyundai. It’s interesting to hear the differences between the American version and the European version! | |||||

| I've look at Kia's German website and I'm disappointed - where are all of the MPi and AT powertrains! But in the Czech republic and other countries I found that they still sell good new models.-Where I live the Stonic is 1.4L MPi, and Sportage is 2.0L MPi both with conventional automatic, It seems like they've began seeing US spec GDi garbage in the EU too, which is disapointing. This is definitely an issue and I would not buy a Hyundai or a Kia (or rather almost any car) with GDi.- Most Kias I wouldn't recommend, a lot of them. As an example, of a car ... | |||||

| I have had similar experiences with dealers vs Kia corporate. The dealers won't budge an inch while KMA will get any reasonable request fixed. I had a dealer sell me a 5 year service contract on a brand new car. Turned out Kia provided a 5 year warranty with the car. They would have been collecting twice 1st from the third party contractor and then Kia on every repair. I found out when I received two questionnaires from Kia and the third party contractor asking how my service experience was on the very same repair. This was before the repair had been complet ... | |||||

| This question is specifically for @Dan but I welcome any responses. Dan, you give great advice on thus forum. I noticed in your signature to your posts, you have three different Kia’s! Most members and mods here recommend Toyota and usually abhor anything Kia/Hyundai. May I inquire, how did you end up choosing 3 Kias, and how are they holding up this far? What are you expecting to go awry, if anything at all. | |||||

| 2017 Kia Optima Oil Consumption & Engine Replacement | 26Relevance | 4 years ago | NightOwlMom | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2017 Kia Optima with 57k miles. I did so much research before I purchased a car and really thought I made a smart decision, especially with their warranty. I recently had an issue with a bad spark plug. I learned from you :d that it happened due to the oil issue over time (making the plug dirty with oil). Kia service tried to charge me but I explained why it really happened so since it was due to the oil, it fell under my warranty which is good until 60k miles. The Kia service center did their oil consumption test. After 1000k miles, my car bur ... | |||||

| Assuming the car you're looking at is a re-badged first generation Kia Forte, The Hyundai Theta engine family was involved in many controversies and recalls, and so are many Hyundai 2.0L engines. Although the famously troublesome 2.0L was a NU engine and you're probably looking at a Theta, and although the main issues on the Theta affected only either GDi or 2.4L variants - This engine is far from perfect - Issues with cylinder scuffing and weak oil pumps forced quite a lot of owners to replace / rebuild them even at lower milages. The transmissions on the ... | |||||
| Answer to: Hyundai Tucson Kia Sportage 7spd Dry Dual Clutch Gearbox(DCT) opinions | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi, I drive a Hyundai-Kia product with a dry dual clutch transmission. I've driven many DCTs transmissions and all cars I currently own are automatics with clutches. While Ford (DPS6), VW group (DQ200), and Alpha Romeo (C635) have delivered transmissions that drive well when they're in good mechanical condition (They're all generally unreliable) and if the driver adapts himself - Hyundai-Kia doesn't The Hyundai-Kia DCTs I've driven drove like crap, for some owners they're not bad but it depends on a lot of factors, to me and from what I'm seeing this is junk. I haven't driven a 2022 yet, but looking at the fact that even car reviews point out the transmission is "not refined" (AKA HORRID), I can safely assume nothing changed and that they're still total junk. (this is a review not of a Tucson but of a different small SUV - vert similar gearbox) video has a time stamp to relevant part 2:29 - 3:34 On their hybrids, that are actually worth the price if you're in Europe, the hybrid fills in the gaps and allows the transmission to disengage if it feels like it's about to shift so hard the thing is going to explode, take-off is usually done on electricity alone (lessen the dual clutch feel) and they gets phenomenal gas-milage. Also any remotely well built car should be able to last 160,000km (100,000 miles) with proper maintenance, there are exceptions, but why torture yourself with a Hyundai-Kia dual clutch. If it would be a Hyundai-Kia converntional automatic with a MPi engine, then sure they're not bad at all - but a T-GDi with a DCT is awful. If you want a good looking total money pit to keep only for 160,000km (100,000 miles), for the price of a Tucson (I checked in the UK, depends heavily on where you live) you can get a Mercedes-Benz GLA those also have a small engine making too much power for it's size (Based on Renault H5Ft) but at least the DCT is a wet clutched (as far as I remember it's related to the Ford 7DCT300 that comes on the Renault Megane, and Ford Fiesta and Puma) and drives nicely, costs a fortune to fix when it goes bad near 100k miles but is usually a joy to drive until then. So many other good looking cars that last around 100k miles (Puma, Mokka, ...) that I don't see a single reason to even consider a Hyundai-Kia with a horrid oil burning engine and an awkward dual dry clutch. But honestly? The RAV4 is the better car, with good maintenance (not what the manual says) they can last a very long time. @DayWalker thanks for letting me know of this question. | |||||
