will know this quarter

Yeah. That will be interesting.

I’m actually starting to look for a new car too. I currently drive a 2008 Nissan Xterra - bad mpg. Lol

@Deleted User what do you think about Kia?

Kia has good mpg,, is all around affordable, and a good variety of styles depending on your needs

Yeah. I kind of want to get the Niro plug in hybrid. The electric range is pretty small, but it covers typical daily driving needs. Y

Kia is just Hyundai under a different brand

It’s got a reputation for being unbreakable here in AU, but not sure what you reckon after the whole scandal with engines seizing/blowing up in the US @Salacious Swanky Cat

Ok.

Apart from that, I’d get one if not for... I just don’t like how they look

Didn’t know that about the engines.

I definitely prefer Hyundai over Kia in terms of styling

I didn't either. Then again, I bought my Kia about 5 years ago

Lol. I’m not as concerned about looks. For me, cars are purely a utility vehicle. Point a to b, carry stuff in back occasionally.

@SteelandSouls I reckon your car just scraped out of the affected range

Cause if I remember correctly it affected cars manufactured between 2007 - 2013

Mine was an end of year 2013 so that's likely the case

Mmmm

But yeah, @Salacious Swanky Cat, if you don’t mind them, a Kia Cerato or... Rio would be great

If you don’t mind going even smaller go for a Pinto

(This is me assuming the models are the same despite country)

It's the same over here

Nice

I like the Kia Optima

But I’m more a E-segment kinda guy so that probably plays a lot into it

A lot of people like the Optima. I own a 4 door Rio myself

An*

Hatch or sedan?

Sedan

Actually I’m not so sure if they still make the sedan variant of the Rio

Ooooo

@Deleted User I’ll look at those, but I prefer to get a car with a battery. I personally want to reduce my oil consumption. Screw opec. Lol

I don’t think I’ve seen a sedan variant of the Rio post-2009... at least down here in AU

Same thing with a lot of that class of cars, actually

Corolla, Accent, Barina, etc

Funny story. My old man suggested getting the Rio, I told him it sounded like a girly car. We talked about it for a bit and while we walked to the lot, the first Rio I saw was a lavender hatchback. I will never let him live that first impression down

@Salacious Swanky Cat I really dislike cars that are hybrid or fully electric

@Deleted User nothing wrong with that. What do you think about hydrogen fuel cell cars?

We had to fix a Lexus CT200 a while back

Because parts took ages to come in, the starter battery died

Some dumbass in the shop tried to jump it and it fried all the circuits
