Religion Korean cars

So, if the choice is Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride - I would go for the Kia, but if the choice is Kona or Nero - we chose the Hyundai. There is really no inherent advantage to one over the other. This is no Lexus vs Toyota (both Toyota products, but Lexus is the luxury brand usually with better build quality, features).

Why do you think the Telluride is better than the Palisade? I've just started looking at both cars. Both are nearly identical price... I'm liking the Palisade slightly better due to the placement of components.

A little cheaper, looks better (imho) and supposedly quieter on the road. (The noise portion is based on multiple reviews I read). I did not spend much time in either. If you like one over the other - they are so close - that it should be which-ever one floats your boat.

Same frankly about the Nero vs. Kona. A good friend liked the extra space of the Nero so got it as his daily driver. The wife appreciated the smaller body and slightly punchier feel of the Kona - so that's what she got.

Yay or nay?

Was thinking should I get Kia in the future vs a Honda?


Little sportier, the big SUVs seem pretty dope (Telluride or Palisade) with lots of Tech. Little big for my needs but they will probably make some nice midsize or compact SUVs


Even the Optima, I rented over the summer and it was very solid and smartly put together. I got some ads and they are like 20k which seems like a good deal.

I do worry about random repairs and maintenance costs. They do have a good warranty, but after that?

A friend of mine bought one but they do not include a spare tire. Inquire about that. I have a Honda Accord and for your budget, buy a used '012. Go to Scotty Kilmer on utube for all the dope. He ranks that model in his top five used cars.

Hundais were always more upscale than Kias in Korea.
