Default Re: KIA - Would you buy one?

My mum has a 2019 Kia Sportage GT Line with all the fruit.

Pretty comfortable and quiet car. Much better built than the Hyundai IX35 she traded it in for. It goes pretty well too. Brakes are a little hard under pedal though. But overall, with 7yr warranty etc, she is happy with it.

My Grandma who is 92 bought the Kia Picanto not long after my mum, just because she could. She loves it.

I drove the Kia Stinger about the same time my mum picked up her Sportage. Dam quick car for what it is and I was impressed with the build quality. The look the goods on the road.

Would I buy one? Brand new? Probably not. Second hand with remainder warranty, possibly, and only the Stinger. But thats just me being bias.

One thing for sure is Kia have a come a long way and they have improved heaps. I don't think I can afford to be a brand snob anymore with the warranty and kit available for the price.
