As an owner of a Kia with the exploding engine option I'll pass.
As a former Hyundai and Kia tech, exploding was incredibly rare. Usually they just seized because of oil starved crank bearings. I only ever heard of one that actually exploded with flames, and thats because the owner wasn't taking care of it and driving with a leaking fuel line.
Perhaps exploding was the wrong term but that doesn't excuse them from having two engine families with issues and not supporting the owners. I had fight to get the engine replaced.
