Great warranties and excellent quality reviews. Shit, I remember when Kia's and Hyandai's were "throw away"...not anymore. Nice lookin' ride, Fireball!

To me it sounds like an electrical nightmare but the warranty is 10/100 so there's that. The backup camera is nice though just put the line on the curb and park perfect every time.

I though real hard about buying one of there vans to just kick the shit out of for a service truck . but they are deff not giving them away any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
