Go back a decade or so and the Hyundais/Kias were garbage. Therefore, they may or may not be good now but there is no meaningful proof to the contrary at this point. Based on their history of being crap, they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt until they prove themselves. I will give them that their warranty is very long. Whether or not they're any good at honoring claims, I have no idea.

They don't have any problem, problems either. The fact that they make boring cars now and that they have bought into marketing garbage CVTs just like everyone else doesn't make them any worse than any other company. Their cars are still very reliable.
