#1 Grabbing a 'record share' of a collapsing market is nothing to brag about.

#2 It is if you are : 1) a private corporation that is NOT receiving multi-billion dollar government handouts; and 2) if the market is projected to recover at some point. The Hyundai-Kai group is likely to to grab and keep a large share of the US auto market since their cars are safe, reliable, and in many cases built in the USA -- using more American-made parts than Detroit.

#3 I have a close friend who has a Kia.

Based on her experience, I wouldn't buy one if you paid me to do it.

Dunno anything about Hyundais.

FWIW, I drive a Honda. Very satisfied.

#4 I have a Toyota Camry, and an Isuzu pickup, the truck's needing semi-major repair (It's worth fixing) and the Toyota is flat outstanding getting an astounding 37mpg (No it's NOT a hybrid) I'm good and would recommend both as New Car purchases, both are well over 250,000 and run very well.
Preventive maintenance works.
