    Pros

    Kia vehicles are some of the most affordable vehicles on the market, they are also very reliable and come with a great warranty.

    Great Price

    Compared to some of the other economy brands such as Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, you can own a Kia vehicle without having to break the bank too much. They don’t just come at a cheap price for a negative reason, they’re extremely reliable vehicles with all of the latest safety technologies, so you won’t feel like you’re driving anything subrate.

    Reliability

    Kias, quite simply, are one of the most reliable vehicles on the market. They constantly rank high on the lists of the most reliable car brands, and are dedicated to improving their rankings. Kia vehicles are so reliable thanks to their simplified production of models, a streamlined infotainment system and overall consistency.

    Warranty

    Kia offers some of the best warranties across the industry, including options with extended coverage that will let you drive with peace of mind. The long warranties that Kia offers can be a great benefit to those drivers who want a trusted option. As much as Kia wants to deliver a solid vehicle, also knowing that you’ll be driving stress-free is top of mind.

    CONS

    Kia vehicles have often been viewed poorly by the public, have a low resale value and middling fuel economy.

    Image Perception

    While Kia vehicles are better currently than their previous history, their perceived image hasn’t caught up to their solid product today. People still view Kias as a disposable vehicle and not an ultimate dream vehicle, just a stepping stone along the way! This obviously varies from person to person, but the Kia name still doesn’t carry as much cache as the quality of its vehicles suggests.

    Low Resale Value

    Based off the previous point, it may be hard to sell your vehicle and get good value from it, even if it may deserve the price you are asking for. If others still perceive Kia vehicles through their past, you may be in for a tough time getting a good price for your Kia if you decide to sell it.

    Average Fuel Economy

    Generally, compact cars have superb fuel economy and are able to drive you around the city without you having to fill up often. Unfortunately, Kia vehicles, especially the Sportage and Forte, fall short of the fuel economy expected from vehicles of their size. It’s not a terrible number, but still leaves much to be desired amongst its competitors.
