“Get A Room”, your an idiot mate. People are entitled to there opinions. They are clearly satisfied owners sharing there opinions for anyone else interested in buying one. If you dislike Hyundai and KIA so much, why are you even reading these responses. You are a real knob and need to get a life. Negative comments from badge snobs really annoy me as you clearly are stating an opinion, not a fact.
Your response just goes to show how immature and stupid you are. You just like to join the bandwagon and feel important do you?
These reviews and comments are setup for anyone to research cars before buying. I for one, always read the comments from owners as there real life experiences, not some short test from a reporter that may be biased in there opinion like you.

Ken D & David, get a room already. Maybe you can get all hot and sweaty over a Wheels special edition on Korean made cars, and ponder why so many people are blinded to the value these magnificent cars offer. Gimme a break, I’m sick of hearing so many people bang on about Kias and Hyundais – some of us actually want to pay more for better quality, better performance, and in our eyes better value cars.

Nobody has to like these cars if they don’t want to.

Couldn’t agree more David. People are just badge snobs and prefer to pay more for less. My Magentis is about to be booked in for its 60,000km service and it still looks and drives like new. It’s a shame more people can’t see the value in a car like this.

I own a 2.4 Magentis and also a Cerato hatch. Both cars have been trouble free and I will continue to buy there cars. I owned a RIO before the Cerato and that to was trouble free. People talk about re-sale, I purchased my RIO in 2002 for $14,990 drive away and after 4 years I got $7000 trade on a $17990 Cerato. 46% after 4 years wasn’t bad I think for a car that still had the original clutch & battery after 65,000 kms. People need to forget the past and look into the future. Look at Holden, they too use Daewoos (Barina, VIVA, EPICA, Captiva) rebadged as a Holden to make a sale.
My father has an 04 Optima and his has been trouble free. My work mate has 2 Optimas, an 04 and an 05 and he openly says he will definately buy another KIA. Everyone that I know that owns a KIA has had trouble free motoring and would definately buy again.

Bret,
Kia and Hyundai are the same company. It is called the Hyundai – Kia motor company. (Google it)
Kia started in 1944
and Hyundai in 1953
merged 1999
Anti spam word Kia, ironic

The Salesman Says: “Kia will always be price driven; it is a market they created”
No actually that market was around many, many years before Kia, most recently the current bout of price driven market was started by Hyundai. Kia is just following, and not just the “market”.

FRUGAL_ONE
Your quote is incorrect, as before mentioned Kia have achieved Japanese quality, as i said do your research every motoring magazine and motoring authority disagrees with you.
Kia will always be price driven; it is a market they created. I wish we still had the Pergio, as you said we sold plenty of them.
