Does anyone know anything about KIA cars? Are they reliable? Trying to look for a cheap affordable car.
-
from wat i heard its not good....

Same thing I always say... cheap? Don't look at initial cost only. Check PARF value at 5 years.... consumption, road tax and insurance too.Originally posted by lled:Does anyone know anything about KIA cars? Are they reliable? Trying to look for a cheap affordable car. -
But did u drive one before? Not to be bias or wad but i'm currently driving a KIA, 4 months already and it's still good as new.Originally posted by BrUtUs:from wat i heard its not good.... -

-
I have been driving Kia Carens for more than 2 years.
No problem. Have been to Genting, KL, Malacca etc.
Patrol consumption is high. about 7~8km/l in Singapore.
abou 10~11km/l in Highway. -
i kinda like the cerato alot

Kia Carens...7 months, approx. 18,000km...so far...touch wood...all OK...

Personal opinion..........
I got no problem at all with korean cars, esp now that the quality really improved a lot!
The only thing is that they Koreans never really 'bother' abt the FC of the cars. Are petrol really that cheap in Korea?
If they improve on the FC, i believe they will close up the gap between their cars and Japs much more. -
i drive KIA carens too. since NOV. 5k mileage and still going strong.

Is it they didn't bother or actually can't help it?Originally posted by Ah Wei:......The only thing is that they Koreans never really 'bother' abt the FC of the cars. Are petrol really that cheap in Korea?

I think being new in the field, so they are just trying to catch up in terms of power, handling and build. Cause this are the up-front things you see in the car when you test-drive it. To adhieve good FC, and yet have a powerful engine, a good amount of research and experiences will need to be in place.
Anyway, if you want a FC-wise KIA, then Picanto (M) is the one. I think I heard Rio and Accent's FC quite normal. -

Depends on the driver as well....Originally posted by Geminik:Sway loh, i also seen toyota and nissan broke down on highway before, new car somemore. Depend on the batch and QC of the assembly line lah. -
heard from my friend that in korea, they change car once every 5 years or so. well, this could be an indication
-
actually not popular here in sing
-
this is what i feel..
i see starlet, charade, swift...those car plate number SB*
think ard for more than 10+ yrs still running.
Jap is the way to go if u want less maintenance problem.
Korean car...I seriously have my doubt if they are built to last.
But anyway, maybe in 10 yrs time, if u can spot some car plate number SC* Kia or Hyunndai cars running ard in Singapore, Than u will know korean cars can be trusted.
But till dan if issue of durability is of top priority, dan jap is the way to go. -
