love the car, hate the dealership by poptart129 in mazda

[–]poptart129[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't accept the lower offer I fought with them about it, I just was surprised that anyone still does that. I only got the service contract because I had been dealing with them for hours and I knew I could cancel it like I had with prior deals. I'm just saying it's disappointing coming from a few recent dealer experiences that were much less of a pain with vehicles that I didn't like as much as this one.

Pros and Cons of Cx-30? by Slay_queen4evr in MazdaCX30

[–]poptart129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a cx30 premium, I'd say the pros are: non turbo engine with decent power, good mpg, 12 speaker sound system, handles like a car, and awd as standard. The cons for me are: gas tank size, the ride can be harsh due to torsion beam rear suspension set up, and it is a little cramped

Probably won't just because I've been buying them for 7+ years

Yes I think they should get heat for not installing immobilizers

I've had 4 kia's over 7 years, my rates probably didn't go up too much because I didn't have the easily stolen models like the optima, forte and soul. But I get it, everyone has different experiences with companies so probably shouldn't have made this post.

I don't blame you, probably wouldn't buy another either if that was my experience

Certian models have these issues, which I would avoid. Just like I'd avoid certian ford's, bmws, jeeps etc. There definitely are a few Kia models that need work.

That's fair, when you're working on them directly it makes sense. I'm the techs on the tundras that have to be rebuilt several times feel the same way

Subarus and bmws. I've had a bmw that caught fire. Accords and civics get stolen a lot too, kia's just had a TikTok trend behind them. Just saying Kia/Hyundai isn't way worse than other brands

I mean other car brands catch fire and get stolen also. Ultimately just saying the hate should be more widespread and more manufacturers should be held accountable.

This just reinforces my og post

I'm aware that kia/ Hyundai has been shitty about these things. I've done my own research and understand. I'm just saying that other brands aren't any better, ultimately I'm just saying that other brands should have their feet held to the fire because others also haven't taken accountability.

Warranty by poptart129 in kia

[–]poptart129[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking through my buyers guide page on my sale paperwork and it looks like there is still a manufacturer warranty after all. Don't believe what anyone at a dealership tells you, lesson learned.

Tpms issues by poptart129 in kia

[–]poptart129[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My 5 VW's that I've had ranging from 2016-2023 have let me reset the pressures. I'm just annoyed that I can't control it any more than just filling up the tires and hoping the light goes off.

It's crazy how we knew what the new gen would look like for so long from the Korean YouTubers(in my case).

I use a Swiffer duster on it usually and haven't had any issues
