My dad, who has owned everything foreigh and domestic (now owns a Camry but was almost a Mercedes) tried to talk me into a Kia -- I have loved them since the early Sportage (test drove one in like 2000 and loved the way it handled) Between Kia and Hundayi they have the best warranties and to my knowledge pretty great reviews from Car and Driver, Road and Track and Consumer Reports as well :)
Good luck with shopping :)

I would stay away from the Kias -
They are a hassle to deal with as far as your warranties. If you do not have all your maintenance/service done at their businesses, they will void your warranty. In my town, Walmart will not even change the oil in Kias anymore because of liability issues.
Also, sometimes they say free tires and free oil changes for life, but the oil changes are not free (the labor is, but not the parts and oil they use) and the free tires are at their discretion. My daughter bought a new Kia and one of the tires kept going flat. They would not replace it because it still had more tread than their specifications. She ended up having to buy a new tire within a couple of months.
