The Kia Soul and other Kia models can be hotwired in 30 seconds by popping off a plastic panel housing the ignition, inserting something with the dimensions of a USB A male plug, and turning it like a key. It is a huge trend on TikTok for the "Kia Boys" to steal Kias and go joyriding. My insurance company stopped insuring Kias in my area and cities and states are suing Kia over the rampant theft problem caused by bad design.

Does Tiktok also have "learn to drive manual" videos? Because I've yet to meet a kid under 18 who knows how.

By the time they realize it's manual transmission they have already smashed the window and ripped open the steering column.
