Maintenance is absolutely the key to having any car last for a long time.

Scotty I am 74 and have owned over 160 vehicles and my latest one for the last three years is a 2006 Kia Sedona made in Korea. It is working excellent. Lots of room, fun to drive, attractive, comfortable, and to be fair it is one of the best vehicles I have every owned. I understand that you have identified the problems but this is my first Kia and I am very impressed.

My 2009 Borrego 3.8 V6 bought new 13 years ago still runs like new. Close to 200K miles, no oil usage, no noises, everything runs perfectly. Built like a tank.

I actually own a 2015 1.8 Forte and baby it. It's nice to hear it's actually really reliable if I keep it this way.

[sallyj]

I learn so much from you Scotty. I had no idea the vin numbers had this info. My husband owns a Kia, but thankfully the Vin begins with a K. So far he's had it for 6 years, after buying it used, and it's still running great.

'05 Sorento with 198k city miles....original owner. Made in Korea, still limping along.

I’ve got a 2015 Kia Optima built in Georgia. 182, 000 ish miles. Never been to the shop except for oil changes, tires and brakes. I recently started using it for my side hustle courier job.

[timmarquez]

About six months ago I sold my 2009 Kia Rondo. Still going strong at 160, 000 miles! Not burning or leaking a drop of oil!

Scotty, I owned a 2017 Kia Forte and it was a great vehicle. It was one that was made in Mexico and I had no issues with it although it was brand new and I traded it in around 10k miles for another vehicle. No complaints, just needed a bigger vehicle at the time. I currently own a 2011 Kia Soul + with 138k miles and NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM experienced as of yet. My Soul however is one that was manufactured in Korea.

I just made a 1000 mile trip from Charleston SC to my home in New England with my 2013 Kia Rio without a hitch. Great reliable car.

Hi Scotty, I am the original owner of a 2010 KIA Forte that has 287, 650 miles on it. It is a 2.0 liter engine with the original engine and transmission. Starting to have some problems now, but I have been happy with it for 13 years! My wife just bought a used 2021 Kia Forte and after seeing this video I checked and her VIN starts with a 3!! I have done most of the maintenance on my own and I am no mechanic. I have been pretty diligent on timely fluid changes, spark plug and coils that kind of stuff, but wish I had seen this video two months ago! Wish me luck!

[ratman]

My kia forte 2016 has 194k miles and is still going strong. I replaced the spark plugs myself for maintenance and always change oil every 5k miles. Car looks pretty simple to fix things myself.

[TravisBerthelot]

My 2011 Kia Optima still going strong even after the blizzard this year.

[DeadofWinter]

My 2015 Kia Forte5 with the 2.0L engine has 98K miles on it and it's been running beautifully. Mine was built in Korea, it's been more reliable than my 2016 Toyota Corolla. I love it.

[shaunkoher]

I have a 2019 Kia Niro. Currently sitting at 341, 767 miles. I've replaced the braked at 300k and the egr valve at 200k. Other than that no issues. Most dependable car I've owned in my 25 years of driving. Also own two Toyota prius. Both needed head gasket replacements under 200k miles. All and all very happy Kia owner. My wife also drives a 2019 Kia Niro. Hers is currently around 275k. Only the brakes have been replaced. Also currently needs an egr valve.

[Maxfli]

You’re absolutely right about the K for being the reason this engine is going so strong Scotty. Made in Korea for Kia’s matter. I have 92, 000 miles on my 2016 Kia Sedona SX made in Korea in the engine and transmission are still going strong. With regular maintenance I foresee it going up to 200, 000 miles.

Since 2004, my family has owned 8 KIAs (2 Optimas, 1 Sportage, 1 Soul, 3 Sorentos, 1 Carnival. We have ZERO serious problems. Just a couple of minor electronic issues that were easily fixed and covered by the warranty. Now, I don't put massive mileage on my cars. No matter the manufacturer, I get rid of them around 70k. I get tired of them.
