I have NO complaints about this car except that the transmission slips now and again and the Dealership that sold me the car is full of losers, swindlers and liars. I love the gas mileage this car gets, especially in todays economy. It's cute and handles like a dream. I will definitly consider buying another KIA when that time comes, however I will choose a different Dealership.

A/C is the best in any car I've ever driven. It takes off slow...but then top end is really pretty good. I like all the features. A dandy little car!

First Kia

This car replaced my Metro, which I've had since 1993 and had 119k miles. When I heard the price at which they were selling these cars, I couldn't pass it up. $6885 TOTAL!!! It is a pleasure to drive and the paint job is great. Considering price, warrenty (10 yr/100k) and looks, you can't beat it. I've only had one minor problem. Front wheel bearing was leaking and is being replaced by the dealer. The dealership is outstanding. Their service and committment to custer service is first rate! I find this car to be quite quite (compared to the Metro) and is not even in the same class as the Metro.
