A world where not enough of us know how to think
We live in a world where everything is being dumbed-down because not enough of us know how to think: 1. It is unwise to buy a Kia or Hyundai automobile, because thieves are aware that (due to a very stupid decision by those automakers) some of their models don't have a chip immobilizer in the key and ignition switch, and those models are much easier to steal. Most Kia and Hyundai cars DO have a chip immobilizer (including all the new ones). But the thieves are either lazy or indifferent to that, and they break in anyway and try to steal the car. So, if you buy a Kia or Hyundai, even if it has the chip system, you are at much higher risk of its being broken into (smashed glass and damage to ignition area), even if it can't be driven away. The break-in rate on Kias and Hyundais is stratospheric. And, insurance companies have hugely boosted the premiums on Kias and Hyundais. So it really doesn't make sense to buy one, no matter how much I might like the Hyundai plug-in hybrid...
