Mazda tied with Subaru for second place in 2013 Consumer Reports Best Car Brands, behind Lexus. Great driving a car brand not everyone has but is still known for quality and a great driving experience. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |

I'm just really ticked off that the fuel economy is nowhere CLOSE to what was advertised. Want to return this vehicle and get a vehicle from a different Company. For anyone else affected by the fuel economy, there is a "compensation program" that uses low estimates for every facet of calculation, so they want to pay you about 1/5 of what you really should receive for fuel compensation. Just despicable of KIA. Will never buy one again, and forewarn others. This is a really dirty practice done to boost sales over other companies. Fuel economy is completely unachievable. It is fraudulent advertising. Never KIA again. see full Kia Sportage review |
