I have own the car since New. Never had any major problems with it. I had to have the rotors replaced but they were done under a recall. I don't take care of it well either. I am lucky if I change the oil once a year and It has almost 78,000 miles on it running like a champ.

Had this car for only a year, tranny went but that was my fault. Left the e brake up. It's got a lot of power and it'll go forever if you take good care of it.

I bought my kia 2 years ago, it has been nothing but problems, its been in the shop about 10 times for sevral repairs,the fuel pump, the windsheild leaking,recalls on the wipers,rear window defrost stopped working,horn stopped working,the o2 sensors went out,afters all of these repairs the check engine light is still on.Now it trys to stall at intersections,and is hard to start after getting fuel \,i WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST NOT BUYING THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE IT WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED

I have had my Kia for 8 years since I bought it new in 1998. It has been a great reliable car that is fun to drive, even in not so great weather conditions. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a good car at a great price. This car has taken me up and down the east coast several times and I have only had trouble with it last year when I had some problems with the fuel injection. Had no problems before or since.
