Soo, if you want a reliable car, your best bets include Alfa, Mini, and Fiat! Good to know!

That sounds like a typical response that someone might say when something they read they don't WANT to believe. Not saying anything negative about you. Just stating my opinion as to what that reply SOUNDS like to me. I didn't make the article. So don't take it personal. I just stumbled across it today from some email (from a Dodge Ram website I believe it was). I don't think your Kia van is junk. It was evidently repaired well.

As far as the list goes, I don't believe the number of lemons may be accurate to the number of lemons MENTIONED in that list. But I do believe in the relative SCALE of the list. Meaning, the lowest mentioned lemons are some of the better vehicle builders, while some of the higher mentioned lemons are some of the not as great vehicle builders. However ... maybe some company like VW has figured out a way to avoid having their vehicles lemonized. Could be a very positive & ethical means to avoid lemons, could possibly be strong arming against customers. Maybe Hyundai lemons theirs quite easily in order to make a customer happy and get them in a new / better Hyundai vehicle. And then under the ole Caterpiller and stump grappler the lemon goes. Like I said, I don't necessarily think the list is accurate to the actual number of lemons, but I think it is relative.

I meant to reply to tell you, I enjoyed your Sparta movie references. It gave me a chuckle.

There's nothing there to believe or not to believe lol. It's meaningless. All of your posts here for instance go into the "number of mentions" and you don't own the vehicle.

Why would I "want not to believe" something about this car. I don't have one. I don't even know if I will get one. All I know is my Hyundai/Kia product is the best built vehicle I've had in a long time. Not a fanboy, I plan on trading it on a Chrysler in 6 months.

You clearly hate Hyundai products. That's obvious. It's muddying your perception of this articles value, because you're too smart not to understand why that's ridiculous. Just the smaller volume of forum support for Hyundai skews that.

It's like saying Lexus owners are more likely to be ***** because "*****" is said here the most. Site has a big political discussion forum...bet it's true it's said here more than other forums. Means nothing.
