You have made a respectable choice Bubbles.
Kia has in the past had a few major dramas, the Carnival sold here
was subject to serious engine seal failure resulting in about 90% of
owners having a new engine fitted under warranty within the first 2
years of ownership.
Some would find the failures deplorable but the impact has been the
exact opposite here.
Kia sales have jumped because people now realise that they are not a
fly by night operation and stand firmly bhind their prduct.....clad of
course in in a boiler suit to prevent oil stains ruining the execs
fine silk business suits ;-)


If they sell a cheap car and make good on warranty, then it
makes more sense than to buy a "prestige" car which may or
may not work well.

Of course, if Bubbles really bought a Kia then that
automatically makes it a stupid thing to do.



"Capt. Rob" scribbled thusly:
Yep, Maxi's right! I found "a few" reviews to support the idea of
buying the new luxury van from Kia, even though we could get a Honda
for the same price! Here are just a few! Good work, Maxi!

Can't you make a decision without media input, Bubbles? Do
you really think these "reviews" are anything other than
advertising? Are you really modeling your whole life after
'Death Of A Salesman'?

Calm down, Biff. You're the guy who had a chance to buy a nice sailboat
and you traded it in for a trawler. I do know someone else who did the
same thing, but he has a plastic and metal knee and the other is
partially fused.

Nice sailboats are bought & sold every day. Therefor one
might sensibly logically assume that I still have "the
chance" to buy one.

As for trading in a sailboat, in the sense of returning one
to a dealer for credit on another purchase, I have never
done that. In fact I have only ever bought one sailboat from
a broker.

In your imagination, I'm sure.

His name is Johnny Perry and he now owns a Grand Banks 42, Doug. She
does close to 20 knots and I've piloted her a couple of times in CT.
Prior to that he owned a Stone Horse (which I sold for him) and a
Ericson Independence 31. He was about to buy the larger Independence
for a restoration project but his knees just got too bad for it.
