The AC system may be the weakest link.

The air conditioning stopped to work and I had to replace the AC Compressor for my KIA Forte 2018 at less than 30k miles of use, which is a very low mileage for such a problem to have. In fact I never experienced an AC failure happening to any of my previously owned cars, either foreign or domestic and some of them I used for 80-90k miles. The average cost of replacing the AC Compressor is around $1500 depending of the service facility and it is not covered by manufacturer’s extended warranty (after 12,000 miles or 1 year, whichever first).

I hate my car.

The stock headlights are trash. It's about as powerful as candlelight. I can't drive at night as I can't see anything in front of me. I've got to use my high beams! The AC runs great but you've got to set the fan high. Hair is blowing in the wind even when car is not moving. Oh, can't get new headlights either because no one makes them. Fantastic. I should've paid for leather seats. These are cloth and are now gross. The car ticks. I wish I could drive it off a cliff.
