A comedic take on why they have the better warranty. Admittedly, Kia - and Hyundai - product quality has improved markedly over the years. As an old guy who put over 200,000 a couple of Civics, over 250,000 on a Tacoma, and sitting on 362,000 with my current '09 Camry, I'm still sold on Hondas and Toyotas. I'm also a fan of Chevy trucks. We've had three Tahoes, great vehicles. Unless I get a pickup next time as a daily driver, I'm thinking of getting a used Accord since they offer a straight shift. All four of those road cars had manual transmissions.
