We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

If cheap is the goal and Honda is out of budget then Kia appears to be a wise choice.

Why are you worried that others would be unhappy that you chose a Kia?

I’m still traumatized from Reddit, where everyone had an opinion, and the consensus is that whatever I said was wrong.

I'm glad you got yourself out of that abusive situation.

I’ve never heard of any Kia hate, that makes absolutely no sense. Nobody had any idea that Kia Boyz would become a thing, so nobody judges people who bought Kias before that….

Kia isn't bad, they have a bunch of engines out there that if you stare it long enough it'll kick the rods out, but most of them are covered by the extended warranty. They had dirt from the casting in them and it eats the bearings. The other downside is theft and because of that insurance rates are a bit higher for them.

Because a brand became the target of theft others dislike those that purchase them? That makes no sense whatsoever.

You’ve misunderstood me. I was agreeing with you.
