I wish we got manual cars new

Isn't the Suzuki Swift Sport still sold with a manual transmission option? And isn't it over $10k cheaper than the automatic transmission version?

I refuse to put premium in a car that doesn't even make 150whp

Since when swift does use premium?!

[*KRONIK*]

Swift sport 1.6l uses premium
The regular 1.5l uses super

Saw the new elantra on the road probably coming out of the port.

Hi and good day everyone .
Looking at getting a SUV. I've narrowed it down to the Qashqia J11 , Hr-v, Vezel (Hr-v)Hybrid and the Rav4 .Will look at the Sportage when it come out next month. Can any owners share their experience with these vehicles and the service experience from the dealers.


Thanks .

Cool, didn't know the HRV was avaible outside the dealer. Thanks.

[equipped2ripp]

Mint Motors had the HR-V in stock before Ansa

Yea and theirs is JDM spec! interior lights are all LED's and has a newer 1.5 direct injection engine.

Whats the price of the hybrid? The hybrid has a dual clutch transmission with a built in electric motor, was problematic in the beginning, dunno if honda sorted it out.

Is there any evidence that the rise of these vehicles like Kian and Hyundai that flaws are being found in them? In the 90s it's was an insult to say you driving one of those

Yip.
New model Kia Rio bought in 2012.

Clockspring failure at approximately 77,000 km before the 3 year warranty expired. ( Airbag light on)

Water from the air conditioning lines leaking into the driver side compartment by the pedal assembly.

Rubbers around door frames began to become brittle.

First and last Korean vehicle for me.

2014 elantra. Now hitting 30k miles. Had a small coolant leak with a hose. I noticed it. Massy fixed. Other than regular service no major problems. But they wash the car really halfway after a service. I does have to remind them after they buss my pocket they better wash it good. They used to have to wash it twice but now they detail the car good every time I pass thru.

Tint fade fast. But that's not really a car problem. They just Tint by a sheit place. Had Tint redone because sun too dam hot.

Also have a low idle with a/c right now. Will make them service throttle body and iacv next time.

[drchaos]

I find massy car wash service does real put swirls on your car, after the second service I put a stop to that.

Well besides the obvious. I was thinking something like problems Start to arise around that time. Don't think anyone would buy a Kia not expecting poor resale...

Apparently when the warranty period is up that's when stuff starts to go bad. On the day I went to collect it had a guy who just sold his 2013 optima and bought a 2015 lol, he said he likes the car but don't trust the brand.

Yeah that's what I figured. Hope potential buyers don't read this thread then! For your sake!

[Pointman-IA]

I think there are about three different variants of the Kia Rio on the road right now.

That Push Start feature I would be concerned about though.
A buddy of mines had failure with it in a Kia Sportage.

[j.o.e]

Friend of mine has a PCX Kia Rio ... So far clock spring failure (airbag light) and premature wearing of brake shoes on the drum brakes (in my opinion), she's not an aggressive driver and they were done before 30,000kms.

Not really worried, the car is in tip top condition. And if not well will bite the bullet and trade it in with the company. I have my eye on the 2016 sportage.
