I have a hyundai tiburon and a 03 kia rio. Both have been very reliable cars. My rio has 170,000 miles (not KM) on it. I just changed the original factory battery 2k miles ago. It starts up every easily, it gets great mileage and it's a 5 door wagon so I was able to move out of college with it in one trip. I drive it daily and it gives me 30+ mpg. I will buy another one when this one dies. Koreans cars are not crappy anymore, people that still think they are need to get out of the past.(deadhorse
