#3I guess the context is lost for Europeans. Apparently electronic immobilizers are not required by law in the US, so Kia and Hyundai did not include one on many models, resulting in higher theft rates.

Now apparently because insurance rates are regulated, some insurers now refuse to insure certain Kia models.

#4If you secure a loan for or lease a car, isn’t insurance mandatory for completion of the transaction? If so, how are most people still driving Kias off the lot if they can’t get insurance?
Ora are people getting insurance and finding their policies unrenewable?

For context, immobilisers have been mandatory (on new cars) in England and Wales since October 1998. Possibly some exemptions for specialist cars, like a Caterham.
