Razors Edge ★ Posted January 4, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 4, 2022 We got a Kia as our rental car last month and liked it. I didn't look under the hood, but it was nice enough to drive and the seats were comfy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share #2 Posted January 4, 2022 It was a Kia Rio. For some reason, I could never remember the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted January 4, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 4, 2022 Kia has agreed to replace the engine. Wife is driving a Kia service loaner. Son is driving wife’s Jeep Patriot. When I asked for update last week the service manager informed me that most of the service department was out with Covid . Eventually we will have a 5 year old Kia with a brand new engine 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably smart to also place the more experienced driver in the Kia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had no engine issues with any of our three Kias, and the last one we dealt at eleven years old with over 200,000 km on it. Aside from a tune up, a couple of brake jobs, one front wheel bearing and regular scheduled maintenance there was nothing. Cooling system, exhaust, starter alternator, air conditioning, never caused a problem and were all still original at trade in time. Heck, we never even had to have the AC recharged.
