Producing junk doesn't help either...
What do you expect when the parts either come from or are assembled in Mexico and Canada?
As opposed to the Hyundai? Nissans are awesome, my mom has one. Kia's I know nothing about. I do, however, know 4 people who've bought Hyundai's and not one of them would again.

AMEN!AMEN!AMEN! I tried "buying AMERICAN" and boy was I screwed. My wife needed a car quick after an accident destroyed our faithful Nissan Sentra. So I said we're buying American. I bought her a fully loaded Chevy Malibu with leather. What a piece of crap. This car went to the shop 6 times for brake problems. They would not Lemon Law it and were not honest in handling the extended warranty. I will not buy any Chevy nor let my kids buy one if I have a say so.
