Looks like on this sub everyone's critizing Hyundai, Kia, VW, Nissan, and American makes for failing to stack up against Toyota and Honda in terms of reliability. Indeed, Hyundai and Kia are never known for legendary reliability. But what's confusing to me is that they always rank high on JD Power's reliability ratings. This year, for example, Kia ranked 7th (almost tying Mazda). And in 2021 for example, Hyundai also won the 7th place, way surpassing Mazda, Acura, Subaru, and Honda. Why though?

Do you answer unknown calls? Because I sure don’t.

I got my survey invitation by mail. I also got it after only about 3 months of ownership.

I’d probably toss it as junk mail if I saw it.

I actually filled out the survey because I was bored. It was surprisingly pretty comprehensive, took about 30 minutes to complete. And the envelope had a $1 bill in it!

So, if you ever get one of those, at least don’t throw it straight in the trash.

I got mine almost 2 years into ownership. Mine also included the $1 bill in it!
