And in three years that KIA is still crap -- maybe crappier and about worthless
the Boxster is still giving you PermaGrin.

Treat it like a $70k car with the PM to match -- but find a reasonable Indy to maintain it for you -- or educate yourself.

In 10 years -- you could still be enjoying the
Boxster -- while others are on their 3rd KIA :-)

And if the engine in the Kia blows in 3 years....they'll fix it free with their 10 yr / 100,000 mile warranty, but that's not my point.

It's not about the Kia, it's about the fact that expensive cars are ALWAYS expensive to fix, no matter their age. You can't go into it thinking that because you paid Kia prices you're going to have Kia repair bills.
