That KIA commercial is nasty

[Loose Bearing]

I don't want to see hamsters driving a car. They are way smarter than average teenagers.

I've seen the commercials and made no connection to "hood rats". I guess you can find racism anywhere if you look hard enough.

Not really. I use to own a Kia; a Yugo would've been an upgrade.

<quoted text>Actually this commercial is rather racist. Those hamsters in hoodies really represent "HOOD RATS" what you typically call young urban black men. I am shocked these commercials have continued without an uproar from the black community. It must go right over their heads.

Or white, gun-totin', hip gangsta' wannabes.

I don't presume that just because they're "hip hop" hamsters, they must be "hood rats". I guess I'm just naive but I don't think that way. I would say it's pretty racist to assume that just because they're at turntables or dancing they must be "hood rats".

My two cents. Take it for what it's worth.

Eminem says you're all full of sh*t.

Lol.

I have a KIA Optima 2002 and the car has been a pain in the ass since I bought it. They are known to have expensive repairs on small things as , power steering pressur hose,,,BTW, If one burst, and it will, your entire serpintine belt and others will be damaged, You will smell buring fluids after repair.
If you buy a KIA, expect and set aside several thousand dollars just for minor repairs alone, and another 20k for the time missed from work. Also, if your 2013 KIA passes the 1st inspection, you will be lucky.

So, why did you buy a Kia?

It was 11 years ago and I got suckered. I did some prison time for the same mistake in the 'Interrogation Room'. They both said the same thing,,,ie.'I am giving you the deal of a lifetime..' If you are ever accused of a crime, that is their technique. Always ask for a lawyer, no more questioning. The KIA dealer did the same thing and, yes I bought it. The tire had a nail in it when I drove off the KIA lot.

oh, and before 1000 miles the engine light came on. Now they charge you to find out what their mistake is

Doesn't Kia have a 10-year, 100,000 warranty? I believe they were the first in the automotive business to have one. My GF drive a Kia Soul - she's had it for almost a year and so far no problems - she loves it.
