Back in 2000 I wanted a Honda but didn't wanna spend the Honda money so settled for a brand new Kia. As far as point A to B never an issue, only shit that went was normal shit that wears out brakes, alternator etc... Had dumb shit come loose like weather stripping flying out of windshield but cheap car uses cheap parts that break or come loose easier. I bought a brand new Honda in 2010 and personally would stick to Japanese cars over Korean cars as the build quality is higher. Realize they have probably improved since my 2000 model but would still stick with Honda over Kia if you can afford it as build quality and resale value will be higher.
