Hello. Good question.

Me personally no. I like Fords and will always have a falcon and later on a 4x4.

However, my partner has one. A Hyundai i20. Its small, no power, rough ride in the back and lots of road noise which is common in this segment.

No power at all but is a great city car. Her dad bought one because they stopped making Falcons. He has the Santa Fe V6 so Kia equivalent. Nice SUV. Comfy on long trips. Same fuel economy as my falcon but less power. I like the Sorento and if my partner wanted to upgrade I'd be happy to drive it.

The Kia and now Santa Fe come with the V6, as the 2.4 was underpowered.

They are like a Toyota. People who drive them don't really seem to have an interest in cars and are simply another appliance. But a reliable one it seems.

EDIT: My ex partner bought the 2003 Santa Fe in 2013. As far As I know it's still going. Hyundai / Kia have come a long way, especially after the GFC.
