Kia and Hyundai have been very much considered as a poor mans choice of brand, but generally they design and build quality into each vehicle with value for money, and only really fitted items that are needed rather than all the lazy tools the German car lovers aspire to. The confidence marketed with these "Poor Mans Car" include a warranty that stripps out every other brand out there adopting 7 years against the paultry couple you will get with your fashion car from Germany which show issues very early on, and cost fortunes to remedy.
In addition, it has been revealed that the German fashion brands are seeing a departure from the buyers choices now, and beginning to see a shift.
I have a Kia myself, it starts, drives well and returns reliability and great MPG. It has a few gizzmos, but nothing to shout about, performance is a bit dissapointing, but simply works well and enjoy not needing too much attention.
We see much younger fashion cars with unbelieveable issues and wonder if it is just an accepted issue with fashion cars, hence we have hundreds and hundreds of them in stock (Mostly with issues requiring an average mortgage to fix) alongside countless Kia / Hyundais that are ready for delivery with no issues.

Are the warranties tied to dealer services, and what sort of price are they?
