Maybe they do, but I find it unlikely. They make a pretty terrible car.

Funny.... I can't think of a single person that drove it that would agree with you. In fact, most were utterly surprised at how good it was at everything. But one person's (uneducated) opinion is just that. The wife's Rio even though it was thoroughly abuse has been a fantastic little car for the last 65k miles and the Forte was as well.

Older Kias, and Hyundais were pretty awful. Lately, they are on par (or better) than most anything else. I'd rock anything made by them in the last 15 years.

Finley Dodge in Post Falls, ID has one of the worst service departments. I would tell you but it would take up a whole page and it just makes me angry thinking about their utter incompetence. The good news is I found a good mechanic for when I need one.
