Kia Offers Free Apple Watch With EV6 Electric Car Purchase

[neuropsychguy]

Don't know what to tell you - we've had nothing but problems that kia techs can't even diagnose. I've had so many recalls since 2016 and going to the dealer their service department is packed at opening with little people in the sales floor.

External and internal vehicle design and features are great though but as a functional car.. hell no

I wasn't doubting you. 5 years ago I would never have bought a Kia or a Hyundai. The only reason I considered a Kia (and ended up buying a late model Sorento) is because it was consistently near the top of the reliability rankings (based on Consumer Reports and other sites).

My point is that some people will always have poor experiences with some brands and products. Some people have poor experiences with Apple products. However, if we look on average, we get a sense of overall reliability and satisfaction. I'm one of the people who has had poor experiences with Hondas (at least their minivans) although most people do not. You've had poor experiences with Kias although most people do not (at least within the past 6 or so years). I have no brand loyalty to cars and now buy what looks like one of the most reliable cars with the features I want. Long-term will the Kia I have be good? I have no idea but if not, I'll move on to some other car once my warranty runs out years down the road.

Looking forward to the gazillion recalls on this one. I'll never buy a Kia again, my wife and I have had nothing but issues on our 2013 Sportage and my 2016 Soul.

Have had our 2021 Telluride SX for almost a year and 17k miles. So far trouble free (knock on wood). That said, I wouldn’t touch this EV (or any other) with a ten foot pole.

Still a better deal than back in the 90s when Kia literally did a "buy one get one free" deal for their actual cars. They gave you an extra car for when your first one invariably broke down.

Technically you get a free Kia APP with the purchase of an Apple Watch

"WE MESSED UP APPLE! WE'RE SO SORRY WE MESSED UP. LETS BUY TONS OF WATCHES AND GIVE THEM WITH CAR PURCHASE TO MAKE APPLE WANT TO PARTNER WITH US FOR APPLE CAR."

Hopefully the nature of EVs will help KIA bring it's reputation out of the muck.

KIA has come a loooong way The Telluride which I own was Motor Trend SUV of the year

Which Apple Watch? Series 3?

If they offered a Rolex Submariner it might get my attention 😝

Exactly. You just need to pay $50,000 for the watch.

Exactly. You just need to pay $50,000 for the watch.

At the current rate of inflation that may not be too far off (go price a sheet of plywood now).

I am still waiting on an electric Kia Stinger!

Since its off the available list of cars, I doubt we’ll see one.

What do you mean? I see it on the main Kia website.

My parents have a Sorento. When I was surprised they left Toyotas for something what a bad rep, they said not all Kias rate well but the Sorento did.

2014 Sorento with 85,000 miles. Only issue is the pano roof shattered and rained glass on them randomly. Otherwise no issues.

My 2012 is under recall for a knock sensor and required a whole new engine. 118000 miles before this with no issues.

Hmm… I was looking for it and didn’t see it…
