I will never buy a Kia ever again!

I've owned 3 Kia's now and as a result I can safely proclaim hat I will never buy another one again!
Just things that shouldn't nowadays go wrong with cars it's been the same faults in all 3 I've owned (2 x Rio's & 1 x Soul).
Electrical gremlins! Yesterday it did start - hoorah! Today it keep cutting out - doh! Yesterday the radio worked, today it doesn't. Now today the reason I write this is because the horn has now just stopped working. Relay & fuse checked & all fine, and surprise surprise if you search on google hundreds of other unfortunate Kia owners have the same fault (a very mysterious one which someone may fix by fluke cheaply or cost a fortune to have done).
And also my car has only done 22k miles, and the drivers seat belt no longer retracts smoothly & takes ages to do so. This will be a fail at it's next MOT. This is a perfect example - seat belts in cars just shouldn't be a problem nowadays, especially after just 22k - but that's a Kia for you!
