> Kia might be unreliable as all heck
Have had two Kia Rio's (2008 and 2013), the 2008 model was definitely maintenance intensive vehicle and frankly poorly built vehicle[1], but the 2013 seems to be a much better car. I'm at 130,000 miles and it seems to be doing fine and nothing big has happened and it deals well with ND winters when I cannot plug in the block heater[2].
1) the timing belt did fail a bit earlier than the maintenance checks suggest (yes, its game over right there), but the 2013 has a chain. Spark plugs were also an issue on the 2008 along with brakes.
2) no outlets at apartment, so goes the whole electric thing
