From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Kia's seven-year warranty – claimed to be the best offered by any manufacturer in Europe – is to be extended to every car in the Korean manufacturer's range.
This long-term coverage was initially offered only on the Golf-sized cee'd, built at Kia's modern plant in Slovakia, and later extended to the Sportage 4x4, but now buyers of all Kias will benefit. Inevitably, there's some small print – for example, paintwork is covered only for five years and the terms are a little more restrictive for cars used as taxis – but Kia's warranty is still much more generous than just about any other manufacturer's. Only Hyundai – a member of the same corporate group as Kia – comes close with its offer of five-year coverage.
