Have you heard about the recent Hyundai recall? The seatbelt blew up on somebody and parts went into their leg. Their solution? Put a plastic cap over it! This is why I’m generally mistrustful of newer cars. The Mirage is the only one I trust because it doesn’t have excessive computer modules. As for Kias, I’d use a cheap one as a throwaway car if I could get one for low enough. Run it up to 100k and sell it. In general all cars are a toss up though. One underpaid factory worker having a bad day 5 years ago can ruin your whole week.
