    Kias and Hyundais were poorly made in the 2000s and they had to work hard to rebound from that. They started building better cars in 2014+ and now they’re fantastic.

    You’re right about the data harvesting. We need regulation badly.

      That was until people realized they didn’t install immobilizers on their pre-2022 vehicles (at least in the US) and the kiaboyz trend happened, then their reputation nosedived again. Not saying their EVs are bad though, they seem to be designed well. But yes, the data harvesting is horrendous.
