Kia and car theft

[Anonymous]

After researching for a long time we had settled on a Kia Forte. Now I am reading that used Kias are being stolen all the time? How much would this worry you? I am so annoyed as it was the car/price point I liked.

They are also very difficult to insure at this point. I inherited one and sold it.

The software "update" is ineffective, vehicles have still been stolen. The free "clubs" issued by Kia and Hyundai have been bent and lifted off by thieves.

I'd pass. Even if vehicle is not stolen, parts are backlogged and even an attempt leaves a car that is vulnerable for possibly months. I did not want to risk going out to dinner, a concert, to the mall and coming back to find the car gone.

Ugh, what is good to insure? This is so crazy.

It’s becoming almost impossible to get car insurance for all vehicles in most urban areas now.
