Hey Scotty I had a 2006 KIA Rondo 2.4 L. At about 90000 miles the main bearings went. I had been taking the car back religiously for free oil changes at the dealer so they honored the 100000 mile warranty and replaced the bottom end of the engine. At 214000 miles I discovered that the sub frame had rotted though. I took a chance and called the dealer who put me in touch with their corporate office in California and they actually bought the car back from me for 2600 dollars. They also offered to put a new sub frame in but I opted for the cash. Although the engine was strong I didn't want to take a chance. I would have to say for the most part that owning a KIA was not to bad of a experience. For the record my family between the 8 of us own 6 Toyotas and haven't had any major issues other the brakes and struts the usual things . Two of them are Priuses. Great channel.

Happy New Year Scotty and all (pre-) 2023. I gave a thumbs up for him changing the baf coil.

Hey Scotty I listen to your podcast on the way to work everyday in CT. I too own a KIA, a '12 Optima SX (made in Alabama) that I bought used off of GF for $2,000. I used to run a garage in the eighties, so I can go on the cheap for repairs. This car has had every brake part at every wheel, the entire front suspension and an engine replaced, along with tires every 35K. The engine I got for free off of KIA although they charged me $900 for wiring they broke. In all, 6K into the car with 130K miles, 10 of it on a new engine. I hope to get another 5 years out of it. I will say that it goes like a scalded dog and I have achieved 36 mpg driving very conservatively. Perhaps if you wanted to do another podcast on KIA when you are in the northeast I could help. Take care and keep up the great work you are doing!

I got my used KIA RIO 2013 with 132k miles on it a year ago, now it has 158k and so far we love it. We use it daily as a commuter car, the only issue is that when we first got it the last owner never had changed the transmission fluid has the " owner manual" recommend, we had a really hard time founding a kia dealer who wanted to change the fluid. Finally found one who did, not to expensive at all. Hope mine last at least a few more years.

My first car was a 2012 Kia Optima. I drove it for 10 tears and put 182,000km on it, mostly highway driving. I sold it this summer and it's still going strong for the new owner. It was made in Korea. The interior looked almost identical after all those years. The exterior was starting to show some rust in the typical areas as Canadian winters are notoriously hard on vehicles from the salt used to keep the ice off the roads.

There have been many of the usual wear and tear items but in 308000 kms I still hope to have it last long enough to outwait some of the teething problems with EV's. Rock auto is my go to but the local dealer is also helpful. This car is MORE comfortable than my 1983 380SEL Mercedes was (the seating, not the ride), as well as a host of other cars such as Volvos, Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs and Fords. No topping of oil between changes. No bells, no whistles. I hope that they make an EV that is this basic. My TOtal Cost of Ownership is stable at .24$ Cdn/ kilometer and the total to date on this little gem is in the mid $50,000 range all-in for the fourteen years so far. This Kia rocks.. it is of Korean manufacture (KNADE......)

A warning to anyone buying one of these. Some of these 1.8l motors had a problem with piston slap that eventually grenades the motor. 2013 seem to be the most affected, but can technically be any 1.8 from 2011 to 2015 or so.

“Has original engine and original transmission.” Meanwhile my 2016 Sentra has had 3 heart transplants

Just Picked up a 2021, Now I love cars but for the next few years i just need something that's turn-key and go, I'm used to the whole craigslist thing with everything I own needing just so much annual maintenance. but so far following the manufacturer schedule I'm doing just fine, and I love it. But I can tell ya Scotty, I got rid of a Jeep renegade for this car and I've doubled my MPG and only got up to 75k on the renegade before it needed a Cam sensor and had mystery noises up the wazoo lol.

Scotty, I have watched you for some time, now, and really appreciate and enjoy your videos. I do have a suggestion for a "next career"......noticing your constant hand-arm movements, I suggest you take some music theory courses and become an Orchestra Conductor....(lol)!

In Israel, Kias are popular with several Kibbutzim. My wife's kibbutz uses many kias, as communal vehicles, and sell them after they had around 220,000 miles on them. They have several dozens of them, at any given time, and these cars go easily 60,000 miles a year. On top of that, the cars run mostly on LPG. If these cars weren't built to last (like the French cars), the Kibbutzim wouldn't have bought so many of them, for over a decade. Their gas mileage, though, is not as good as Toyota and Honda. This is why they have LPG installed.

I am still driving my 2013 Kia Rio with 220,000 miles. I went through a belt 3 sets of tires and brakes and a alternator. It may not last much longer the engine now has a ticking sound when you accelerate but it did ok.

I picked up a Korean made 2010 Cerato (forte) with 31,000km on it. It uses the 2.0 litre engine but luckily it was produced the year before they started having the manufacturing issues with the 2.0 engine.

That is also my dad's car! I'm the big brother of the 3. My dad was a mechanic for years and knows how to take care of his car. He drives it all the time, but is very easy on it. I've driven the car myself, and it drives very smoothly.

Hey Scotty I got a 2007 Kia Rio base model made in Korea I have 318,000 Mi on it doesn't waste any oil I maintained it myself it's a standard so no transmission problems and I bought a new Toyota Corolla to replace it but it won't die! Kids are pretty good if you take care of them thanks

I have a 2013 soul. I agree with Scotty about making sure it's not made in mexico or US. I have been asked about buying a kia by people on the street and pretty much say the same thing Scotty says. make sure it's made in korea. I also change the oil every 3000 miles AND my car is the 2.0. maybe it'll fail, but I am doing all I can to have it for a long time. it has already earned it's keep.

Making sure a car is not made in US is generally speaking a good advice.

A side note, every stick shift 4cyl pre 2004 VW I had from Mexico, was unstoppable.

My 2006 kia Rio base model with it's roll up windows has close to 160k with no problems . My son's 2007 Hyundai accent ( similar cat ) has close to 200k with no issues .

Inherited my mom's 04 Sedona 3.5L, Korean made. Only 67k on the odo. Was gulping some serious oil but changed the pcv valve like you said and it stopped. Tie rod ends were shot but that was an easy swap. Next up are the front struts. Not a daily driver since gas mileage is pretty awful but it's good for hauling lots of stuff like camping gear. Plenty of room for an inflatable mattress. Great for car camping or music festivals. I drove it to high school way back when, my buddies nicknamed it the shaggin wagon. Plenty of room for that as well 😉

The older Hyundai/Kia’s 1995-2011 are more reliable than the newer models. I drove a 2010 Kia Forte and sold it at 104,000. Good car very reliable.I still drive a 2006 Hyundai Sonata V6 145,000 miles and a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon V6 with 101,000 miles…Basically only done oil changes and brake replacement. (Starter on Sonata and Timing belt on Tiburon) I don’t trust the newer ones. After my research the 2012-2022 models are suspect!

The only problem I had with my Kia Sedona is the clear coat peeling off all plastic/rubber parts of the body. I did have my check engine light on for a month or so, but was resolved with a new gas cap.

I just checked my vin it was made in Korea! Thanks Scotty! 😊

It sounds like Kias' Extended Warranty means that Kia extends the time before they finally fix it.

I have a 2010 Kia Rio with 90k miles. I had to replace the starter at 75k and an ignition coil at 85k (number 2. The same as the car in the video). Mine has a "K" vin number so it's it's made in Korea. I live in New England so I think the starter died from water/salt exposure. My ABS light comes on once in while and I also had an exhaust hanger that broke and needed to be welded. I plan on driving it for a while. Repairs were fairly simple

Got a 2006 Sedona with 265000 original. Just found out it was made in Korea. Thanks. Yeah, when I'm in town I use neutral a lot and shift it manually.

GOD BLESS YOU SCOTTY!

LMAO! Scotty stop giving away my secrets! Every Kia/Hyundai i've owned or own runs like a top and I specifically look for KN in the vin every purchase. In this current time you can't pick a car wrong as long as you make sure it wasn't assembled in North or South America.

Finally an accurate review about kia and hyundai, I love my korean made one.

Have replaced a starter and alternator, did one brake job,other than that it's still running good. Hope to get atleast another thousand miles out of it.

Had a 2000 Kia Sephia for ten years. My mechanic said it was “a pretty good, cheap-made foreign car.” It wasn’t a bad car, and I put a lot of hard miles on it. It finally died at about 130,000 miles. It could’ve lived longer, but at a certain point, fixing it wasn’t cost-effective.

I traded it on my 2019 Ford escape. Transmission worked on. I all ready want to get rid of it. Mazda or Toyota next.

I have a 2015 with just shy of 247,000 miles, most of them highway. Consistently gets 41-43mpg, no oil leaks, doesn’t burn oil. I changed all the coils at 200k just to do it, and I still have the original serpentine belt. I did have to do a wheel bearing on the passenger side which led to replacing the lower ball joint and cv axle on that side as well. Original owner, bought with 9 miles on it.
