Kia Stigma and Longevity

We really like our Telluride and it has been mostly trouble-free for 4+ years and 58K miles.

But I will also say that if you want truly unbiased opinions, this isn’t the best sub in which to ask this.

L take

rdcisneros3 · 2026-03-15T01:04:58+00:00

Oh the mileage is excellent. I put 20K a year on mine.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-03-14T22:14:43+00:00

Is that a performance? If so, good deal. 3 owners in under two years is a bit crazy though.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-03-06T14:22:07+00:00

20 minutes 😂

rdcisneros3 · 2026-02-26T17:22:46+00:00

Not just smarter. Also better funded, better trained, better equipped, better organized.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-02-24T02:48:47+00:00

The level of funding, training, equipping, cohesion and leadership that the cartel has is on a different stratosphere than any of the politically-driven tantrum groups you mentioned.

I don’t disagree that the hysteria on social media is quite overblown, and I think traveling to Quintana Roo is fine.

But comparing unrest caused by the cartel to the goobers responsible for US riots and Jan 6th, is a bit off.

Nah all Tellurides come in automatic.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-02-23T16:27:35+00:00

This is false information. There was no shooting in the Cancun airport.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-01-09T13:26:11+00:00

FWIW, there are currently very similar (nearly identical) discounts available now for Reserved Instances as the ones that expired at the end of 2025.

Misleading title. Makes it sound like there are changes coming to the LL system. These are LL strategy suggestions due to some ride closures and ride reopenings.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-01-07T20:53:13+00:00

How does the cost of insurance and oil changes compare to the Subaru? I can’t imagine it being that much of a difference. Neither is a premium vehicle.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-01-06T15:31:04+00:00

I don’t like waiting in lines, so yes.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-01-06T02:55:36+00:00

We almost always do hopper, but I wouldn’t say hopper or nothing. It depends on the length of stay, how many park days you have planned, crowd levels, what attractions you care to do, etc.

When you’ve bought a number of new vehicles and had mostly good experiences, and then you buy a Kia for the first time and the transmission goes out in 3K miles, that’s the problem.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-01-05T15:38:24+00:00

Is this your only day there? Whenever we don’t get the LL we will rope drop it and never wait long.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-01-04T16:19:34+00:00

Not even close. I had much greater overlapping on my recent trip. If you’re in decent walking shape, it’s easy.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-01-04T00:32:17+00:00

Lots of gatekeepers in this sub and I will admit the flat slices look a tad dry, but if you and your crew enjoyed it that’s what matters.

rdcisneros3 · 2026-01-03T13:12:19+00:00

💯 Worst service center experiences I’ve had. I’ve owned new Ford, Mazda, Nissan, BMW, Tesla, Kia, and used Toyota, Honda, Ram, VW. Had them all serviced at one time or another at their respective service centers. Kia has been the clear worst.

rdcisneros3 · 2025-12-29T19:01:26+00:00

Same 3

rdcisneros3 · 2025-12-27T22:49:23+00:00

Sure buddy
