As someone who is quite concerned that I'm going to have to sell my Kia because insurance companies are refusing to cover them because they're so easy to steal, just... be careful which model you pick.
- vel0city 4y agoIts only really the models and years where they didn't have immobilizers. He's looking at an EV, it doesn't even have a cut key for starting the car.
- Baeocystin 4y agoA good point. Also worth mentioned that Kias are (apparently) easy to break in to. Twice over the past year my neighborhood has had a group come around and jimmy just the Kias in the neighborhood to steal stuff from inside. I don't live in a high-crime area, either. It's real problem.
- CameronNemo 4y agoThis is already what is being discussed.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoOne of the reasons I've taken Hyundai/Kia off my list is because I don't trust thieves to be aware of which models are easy to steal and which aren't. Even if they can't steal it, they can still fuck it up by trying.

- mikestew 4y agoI think I'll pick a 2023 that doesn't have that problem, starting with the fact that it doesn't have an ignition key. :-) But thanks for the heads-up.
