Local Kia dealer stocks new engines and has 2 service bays installing engines full time.

That's why I read this thread...grump is such a hoot!
Per Marketwatch:
"Yes, Kias are reliable cars. J.D. Power ranked Kia the most reliable mass-market manufacturer in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Kia vehicles also have one of the industry's longest powertrain warranties: 10 years/100,000 miles.Dec 13, 2023"
So grump should check with GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, etc. and report back "those local dealers stock new engines and has (have?) 4 service bays installing engines full time."

Keep it going!

Fake news. If you don't own one, you can't have an opinion based on statistics or facts. And if you don't own one, statistics and facts are worthless. Only the statistics and facts posted by owners are to be valid.

Sounds a lot like the old Twitter, and current YT and the like. Only certain information is "valid"... And that information supports the "agenda".

Any time someone tells me I can't have an opinion, because that is their opinion... That's tells me all I need to know.

This thread boils down to:
If you don’t own an EV your opinion is worth almost nothing.
You are an ignoramus with an agenda.
Nuff said.

It’s a thread for someone to shill for the EV industry , daily

You know why Kia has a 10/100 powertrain warranty?
