I miss UK cars.

had an electric kia, was shit, but it was a normal sized car and insurance+ tax was practically nothing compared to what it costs me in the States.

insurance alone is 4k per year, I can cover the cost of my old ass car in a bit over 3 years of insurance.

    Which one was it? I've had my eye on the EVx range which looks decent.

    Kia nero plug in hybrid.

    after a few months the charging stopped working, instead of fixing it they told me the only garage that can handle it is 2 hour drive away, after going there and spending a shit ton in repairs, they didn't fix it, and they wanted my to go back there or further to check it out. at some point I had to gave up and accept that it is no longer a plug in hybrid.

    My friend briefly owned a Niro and had to send it back within a week. I wonder if that model is just riddled with issues?

    Surprised you had to pay, wouldn't it have been covered by the 7 year warranty?
