In my opinion, PURCHASE the extended waranty. You will need it. Kia's alternator is timed precicely to fail on you at 30,000 miles. Then is garunteed to break down on you every six months, need it or not.

Kia got a bad rap. They are now on track to becoming one of the top 5 automakers in the world.

I know these Kias have gotten a bad rap, but my has been very reliable since I bought it new 7 years ago. When it was still under warranty I had the typical brake problems but then Kia came out with better brake pads and that was it. I have taken this on numerous trips and do a lot of driving for my job and it never lets me down.

I have maintained car with oil changes, plugs, etc. New tires - maintenance on it since 1997. It now has 97,256 miles on it. Interior top window dash all bent upward from heat. Fan motor does not turn on to get heat or air - you cannot hear anything. Checking fuse. Has been reliable. The engine light has been on for some time but that has been temperamental. Mechanic checked - okay.
