Not keen on Kia after [insert problem here] but the EV9 continues its trek to people’s garages. Seems neat.

At almost 6000 lbs, thats basically double the curb weight of my all steel body 1968 Ford Galaxie 500.

Kias are great as long as you lease them and turn them in before the warranty expires. But personally, outside of maybe the Cadenzas and V6 Sorentos, I wouldn't recommend keeping them beyond warranty. I was a tech for Hyundai for 4 years and Kia for 2. The 4 cylinders had some issues, even the 1.6 turbos, but the V6 in the Kia Sorento/ Hyundia Santa Fe and in the Kia Candenza/ Hyundai Azera never really had any problems. In my time there I only ever replaced one of them because the dingus owner skipped 7 oil changes.
