Stay away!

I have a Kia Rio with a GDI engine. I found out that several kia car brands with GDI engine were recalled because the oil buns too hot and out the tailpipe. Causes issues with coolant as well. So, of course I have the brand that is not recalled even though they know the engine is crap. Now I drive around with oil all the time.

Have to check my oil every week and check coolant every other time I change the oil. Complained to dealership, head office and ministry of transportation and they were all like your car is out of warranty!
