We bought the car used in 2002; paid WAY too much for it. Kept up with regular maintenance, oil changes and tire needs; started giving us problems once we moved from FL/GA area to TX. Have had the car in shop 3 times since Xmas, replaced fan/timing belts and radiator pcs once it died on freeway. One month later it has completely died - engine out and is more costly to replace. It is great for singles or couples, if you are young and starting out or at college; not meant for family car (space is VERY limited). Excellent gas mileage and great for tight parking spaces. I like Kias, just be sure to do research and know what you are paying for; newer KIA models are worth the investment.
it's great!

I have a 2001, and it's an awesome car. It's very reliable, and it is very stylish as well. One of my favorite things about it is how it doesn't use a ton of gas at one time, it is very conservative about gas usage. I really can't think of any major drawbacks to it, it is an all around great car. I've had it for 5 years and it hasn't let me down yet!

I won this car in May 2001 and have never had it in the shop. (over 17,000 miles on it now)I get good gas mileage but I do wish it were earier to handle on rain and snow (it does do some sliding). I also wish you couldn't hear so much engine noise when doing highway driving (although I do realize that it is only a four cylinder). This car has been reliable, fun to drive and cheap to maintain. It would be great for a college student or as a going to work car. If you do a lot of traveling you might want to buy a car with a little better ride. I personally recommend this car for short trips or in-town driving.

I have had a bad experience with this vechile. It has been in the shop 8 times and needs to go back because I am having the same problem I was having a year ago. I don't care for the car and wish there was some way to get out from under it. I thought about getting a lawyer to sue them to get out from under it. I will never buy another Kia as long as I live.

Lots of trouble when I first purchased vehicle. It took dealer four service visits to find the problem. I have had no problem for four months, about 6,000 miles,
