Kia and Hyundai are mainly guilty of using the occasional low quality sensor. It's not like they are unreliable...its just that you may get a check engine light and have to have it checked out.
I bought my 02 Hyundai in 06 with 60,000 miles on it. It now has over 100,000 miles, and I do not do alot of preventative maintenance on it, and have never seen the check engine light. You are more likely to see it on a new VW.

Kia is now where Hyundai was 5 years ago, and they are catching up fast. They will both be directly comparable to Honda very soon(if they have not gotten there already)
