okay any vehicle that would require a hole next to the shifter to put a screw driver to over ride the transmission has got to be a sign not to buy this crap on wheels. we have had to change the brakes 2 times within the first 2 years (could have been more if i continued to drive it regularly). 5 recalls 3 within the first 6 months of owning it. All the problems we have had battery dying, refusing to shift gears, wipers breaking, center console falling apart, interior falling apart, and various levels of squelling and shaking all happen after the warranty ended, of course. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T BUY A KIA.

I purchased this car from a friend at the dealership used and so far this is the most reliable car I owned. The check engine loves to stay on no matter what you try to fix. I've had the transmission problems and all but just replaced a sensor and seems to work for now. I've had bad luck with cars but this is the best car I've ever had. It will get you from point a to point b. It's a budget car for sure. You get what you pay for. Cheap body as well wouldn't hold up in a crash
Too many flaws, cheaply made

I've owned one since '99. Needs too many major repairs from $300 to $600 a pop for a cheap car. Put a $600 "precat", before that cost me $300 to get the lighting system fixed. Something else was wrong and it cost me a fortune (I've since forgotten exactly what) Now the fuel system is clogged and messed up for the 2nd time. The dash warped under the hot sun. Doors freeze solid in winter. Uncomfortable back seats. I would skip Kia brands. They are poorly made and you suffer with the major repair cost. Lousy stereo/cassette system.
