How do the Kia minivans compare to Ford and Chrysler minivans in terms of build quality and reliability? - 1
I haven't heard anything about the reliability of the Ford Transit Connect but it has to be better than the old Ford Windstar/Freestar minivan which suffered from many issues. Chrysler has had many reliability issues with their minivans so I would stay away from them. In general, I don't like minivans because they always have more issues than a regular car or SUV. They are hard to work on due to space constraints and mechanics often charge more to work on them. I loved to drive my Ford Windstar but there was always something failing on it (oxygen sensors, door switches, A/C vacuum switch, camshaft synchronizer, vehicle speed sensor, window motors, intake manifold runner controls. ABS tone ring, etc. Etc. My advice is that you buy a Kia or Hyundai SUV instead. We got rid of our troublesome minivan and bought the Santa Fe. It has been very reliable compared to the minivan. If you think you really need a minivan, you should probably buy a Toyota minivan rather than a Kia minivan.
Only time will tell. Initially Kia was an entry-level vehicle with not such a good reliability and build quality. Ford and Chrysler vehicles aren't doing so well either, but Ford has nosed ahead after almost going bankrupt and going out of business a few years ago. Chrysler would be history except for the bailout they got. Their vehicle quality has not come up to snuff recently since they've allied with Fiat for a financial "transfusion". They are pretty stylish, but it takes more than a pretty face to hold a relationship and keep it viable. Kia sticks a lot of amenities and gee-whiz stuff in their cars to make you want them, but when the panties come off, there may not be enough to make it a good choice.
- On ford, chvey and dodge websites it says build and price how does it work? On ford, chvey and dodge websites it says build and price, i know you can just get a car from your local dealership but how would the build and price way you want work if you did it from the chevy, ford and dodge website.
- Instead of Tariffs, should Donny just talk to his wall Street buddies at GM and Ford and Chrysler, well.not Chrysler, it's a German Company? That just got sold to the Italians, but talk to them and ask them nicely to stop sending jobs to Mexico, for lower wages and bigger Bonuses, and keep the jobs in America and pay a good living wage to all, even if it hurts them a little? Just sayin… You know… Ask the CEO's to be PATRIOTS for a change? And #MAGA?
- How is ford as compared to toyota/honda, in terms of reliability? I have always heard people saying that toyota (camry) and honda (accord) are really good cars in terms of reliability, less frequency of needing repairs and they can very easily cross 200,000 mile mark. But, does any one know how are Fords (fusion) when it comes to frequency of needing repairs and crossing 200k miles mark?
- 2015 Ford Fusion S, 2015 Chrysler 200 LX or 2015 Kia Optima LX? All pretty similarly priced. F and C have 3 year b - b and 5 year power warranty while the K has 5 year 100k everything.
