How does Kia compare to Honda in terms of quality?

I've owned both Hondas and Kias and I have to say that my experience with Kia has been surprisingly good. My 2015 Kia Sorento has had no major issues in the past 4 years of ownership, which is impressive considering it's a mid-size SUV from a non-premium brand. In comparison, I've owned two Hondas - a Civic and an Accord - both of which had some issues within the first few years of ownership. The Civic had problems with its transmission and engine, while the Accord had some electrical gremlins. That being said, I still think Honda has an edge over Kia when it comes to quality, at least in the past. However, my experience with Kia's recent models suggests that they're closing the gap quickly.

I've personally owned both Kia and Honda models and can attest that Kia has made tremendous strides in recent years. The quality difference is noticeable but not drastic. Both brands have their strengths and weaknesses, making it a close call.

I've had the pleasure of owning both a Kia Optima and a Honda Civic over the years. While my experience may not be representative of every owner's experience, I can share some insights on how these two brands compare in terms of quality. From what I've observed, Kia has made significant strides in improving its build quality and reliability in recent years. The Optima I owned had a few minor issues, but nothing that couldn't be easily fixed at the dealership. On the other hand, my Honda Civic was plagued by a faulty engine that required multiple repairs and eventually led to a costly replacement. In terms of overall quality, I'd say Kia is giving Honda a run for its money. The Optima's interior felt more premium and modern than the Civic's, and the exterior design was far more striking. That being said, reliability-wise, Honda still holds an edge. However, with Kia's continued investments in research and development, I'm confident that they'll soon be on par with their Japanese rivals.

I've been owning both a Kia and a Honda for several years now. In my opinion, Kia has made significant improvements in terms of build quality, reliability and overall performance, comparable to, if not surpassing some of Honda's models.
