IS BUYING KIA WASTE OF MONEY ? Let's ENROLL IN DEPTH

         IS BUYING KIA WASTE OF MONEY ? Let's ENROLL IN DEPTH.

I'm gonna talk about why I wouldn't buy a Kia in this case to 2008 kia sportage now the main reason I'm not a kia fan is because over time they just don't hold up like better made cars do as an example this baby's only got fiftty thousand nine hundred and fifty two miles on it but when I turn on the AC on cold air the AC compressor is already broken and just to show the general cheapness of the vehicle here's the Sun Visor it won't stay up it's flopping down it's just the general show of how cheaply made these things are if I'd bought a car and then fifty thousand miles AC compressor went out could buy I would never buy another one that would be furious about it now you might think why aren't people buying these things well they cost less but if you're really priced a differential it isn't all that much today for example 2019 Kia Sportage it's only less than two thousand dollars less than the base Toyota rav 4 now if you go back to when this thing was new 2008 the base price of this six thousand dollars less than the base price of a Toyota rav 4 but now it's less than two thousand differential so it'll actually make more sense to buy one of these things back then you were saving a reasonable amount of money but today you really aren't there for less than $2,000 believe me I buy a rav 4 long before I buy one of these things now I've had customers with Kia's they had engine problems transmission problems.

                                                        

                                                              

Electronic problems in this case air conditioning compressor problems stuff that you really don't see in the Toyotas but I've also had customers that were relatively happy with the Kia's and the reason behind out was they didn't keep the car sell that long but he didn't drive that many milestone of my customers as a 10 year old Kia but she's only got 60,000 miles on it she hasn't had any real problems with it but she's not driving it much she was happy with the price then and she recently got rid of the thing because she wanted a Ford Mustang she got a v6 Ford Mustang the cheapest price one she could find and she's happy with that but then again it for the next ten years she only puts on sixty thousand miles hey you can pretty much buy anything outside of Fiat products and you won't have too many problems on the plus side the Sportage is hey I got a lot of room inside they got the splits eats that lay back so you can carry more stuff Asian style roof rack for extra stuff reasonable amount of space in the back seat and the usual accessories of power windows power steering airbags now granted these sportages they are like a small truck they don't ride that well and even this one's only got 60,000 miles hey just struts on it already are worn out it bounces around a lot and if you find a low enough mileage used one they don't have such high resale value you compare the resale value of one of these to a rav 4 sure the ramp for sometimes will be three or four times as expensive as the key is you can find a little mileage one. 

                                                             

But I mean even there I'm warning you this baby's got 50,000 and the compressor shot already of course even though they're smaller SUV they're still in last year v my customer gets about 18 miles a gallon in town on this thing and in the mid-20s on the highway until you get into stuff like direct injection turbo charge your CVT transmissions and of course when you put all that technology in a car there's no saying how long it's gonna last from my experience they don't last nearly aslong as the nine turbocharged engines is the non gasoline direct engines that have regular fuel injection you add that technology extra pressures things are just going to wear out fast but the downside of this 2008 is it's a four-cylinder engine but it still got the rubber timing belt it you got to change every once in a while hack my 2007 Toyota Matrix even that back then has a timing chain and those things basically last forever as long as you change your oil the chain is inside all that oil stays lubricated and agent less just as long as the engine.

                                                               

                                                          

 I've seen those things with three hundred thousand miles they're still original now there's no worry you're gonna get 300,000 miles out of a rubber tell me about one of these things it's something to think about they just are cheaper made vehicles there's no arguing there but half being cheaper made vehicles they're not selling that much cheaper anymore as I said before yeah $6,000 cheaper in 2008 but 2019 there was less than a two thousand dollar difference between the basic grab for in the basic Sportage I definitely would take a rav 4 over one of these if the only thing I was saving was less than $2,000 on a new one but as I said if you're a gambling man or a woman and you want to buy a used one these things go alot cheaper than the Toyotas do and you find a little mileage one hey it could be a great Knock around car yeah you're only off that small amount of money instead of a whole bunch of money saved you bought of a brand new car you can see a balance is quite a bit about a car 50,000 miles and struts we're all wornout the air conditioning compressor broke.

                                                                    

CONCLUSION

 I'll tell you I'd never buy another one of these things myself now Kia at least in the United States does spend a small fortune advertising in their cars and yeah their sales have been up sort of like people can be fooled you see every time since they think oh wow those are Asian cars those are great cars you know I'll just buy one do a little research before you buy if you're gonna get a rant for for less than 2 grand more than this thing by don't even think about buying one of these since the price gap is shortening but the quality gap as far as I'm concerned it's still pretty far apart I see no reason to bomb by a modern Kia maybe a used one like I said might get a really good deal on one and it's still got a lot of life left, so now you know a little bit more about Kia's and why perhaps you should look elsewhere if you're planning on buying a vehicle, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car blogs remember to subscribe my blogs spokesman review . thanks stay safe .
