what do you think of hyundai or kia cars?

just wondering what you think about them.

I think I would never spend hard earned money on one... ever... raven_squad

We have a Hyundai and love it. It's been great and would buy another easily.

Hyundai's are ok. I don't think I would drive a kia....

no resale value as soon as it is used.

I would never, NEVER buy a hyundai, Kia or Suzuki. I am sure there are others I could throw in there

As long as they get the job done. I guess it doesn't really matter.

It's a Japanese car. I wouldn't buy it.Messiahbolical-

Hyundai: Meh. Kia: Crap.

Edit 2: Kia is an offshoot of Hyundai.

hyundai always seems like the "knock off" version of a honda... you know where they change the name just enough to be a legal company, but still confuse stupid people.

Kia seems like a car w/ no resale value probably because the parts are not exactly made to last very long.

If I was in the market, I'd buy one.FragStains

Affordable, haven't heard a lot of positive comments on either, have heard a few negative one's about Kia however, don't they offer a 100,000 mile warranty? Second_Rook

i never buy american cars.

Kia - ha ha ha ha no I will not drive those things!

Hyundai - I'm really loving the Genesis Luxury Sedan and the Genesis Coupe Sports Car.

My ride for business trips.

My ride for Drifting!

I've really enjoyed my '08 Santa Fe and have had absolutely zero problems with it. 10yr/100,000 mile warrenty is nothing to scoff at either. It's good on gas, has plenty of space and drives pretty nice.

While usually not the best, they can still make competent cars (at least for Hyundai). They get a bad rep because they're relatively new and Asian (more specifically, Korean).

I don't know much about them, besides the fact that they are rather affordable. I am tempted to say it'd be better to stick with a slightly older model from Honda, or Toyota, both brands being quite reliable. If money is an issue, I certainly understand. I would do research to see how reliable Kia, and Hyundai vehicles are if you are planning to purchase a used one.

Hyundai's are okay, but they wouldn't be no-where near first on my list when I'm

looking for a car to purchase. And I think you're better off walking than buying a Kia.

I am not sure if I would ever get one. I would have to drive it and look at it carefully to decide.

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe = One of the best affordable perfomance cars in the market. It's really an amazing car. If I would ever buy a hyundai, that would be the only one.

Have you seen the Kia Forte? It looks almost identical to the Honda Civic. That said, I think I'd still consider a car like the Forte.

I would buy a Kia Forte. Nothing wrong with it..Tauruslink

I think they're crap, and I feel bad for the people who are so poor that they have to buy them.

And those people end up with unsafe, unreliable cars.

They're much better than they're given credit for, and by all accounts their newest models (ie the Genesis, Tuscon, Forte and Soul), while not quite best-in-class, are certainly knocking on the doorstep. I'd sure as hell take a Hyundai or Kia over a comparable GM or Chrysler.
