    Answered by Graham Smith · 15 July 2010

    Using the silicon spray would reduce the noise for a short time, but the effect would soon wear off as you have experienced and the noise return.

Your car will start without drama at all temperatures, will drive smoothly at all times, won't suffer from fuel vapourisation, will deliver better fuel economy and have more power.

The feeling is that Kia is about where Hyundai was five years ago in build quality and reliability. I would favour the Hyundai, but don't have any major Kia objection.
