True. But their depreciation rate is tied with their inherent long term quality concerns. While alot of their recalls, and recalls of recalls were covered by the mfg, that kind of track records propagates questions of what else could potentially be troublesome.
If you are DIYer/mechanic/avid Kiaundai fan that should not be a problem, but for anyone else at least take their plenty severe powertrain recalls into consideration before purchase.
Toyota isnt a saint though, and they are as stubborn as a mule to even acknowledge certain issues, much less issue recalls. Honda has publicly acknowledged their products are more defective then in years prior and working towards a better future. However, they do seem to have less severe powertrain problems at the moment.
