I bought this car with 38,000 miles on it. The check engine light came on as soon as the 3 month warranty was up. I've replaced the transmission and the check engine light was still on as it was after the 3 times I changed the catalytic converter. Doesn't accelerate going uphill and slow merging into traffic. The inside is cheap plastic.
The worst piece of crap every made!!

I have had this car for almost 10 years now, I am counting the days until I can afford to purchase a real car. At present the locks consistently freeze in the winter.The doors will not close until the car warms up a little. The windshield wiper fluid spray hasn't worked for years creating dangerous driving situations at times. The interior around the odometer has pulled apart, the vents to defrost the windshield broke spontaneously making defrosting a nightmare. Now the heating system has stopped in the dead of winter. I'm amazed that it made it this far. So I couldn't get out as planned this morning because without no heat I couldn't see out of the windshield!

This is my first new car and I am happy with the choice I made. The car is economical and cute. I have had no major problems, just some cabin noise which was resolved within the first month. The brakes lasted two years and the tires are still the originals.

1st Tranny was retired at 250~ miles. second lasted untill 3 weeks ago. A Tranny control module was replaced under warranty in the carolinas and Kia has yet to send reimbursment for roadside warranty. Bad thing is I like the car but this thing has had more problems overall in two years than all my cars I've owned in 18 years driving! I do not like Kia service, sales, or their customer NO SERVICE.

I bought this vehicle new. We needed basic car, not fancy. Manual tranny is a plus as we expected to move to the snow belt. My records since purchase have shown consistent 31-34 mpg for all driving. First major repair was brakes at 85,000 miles. Second was ball joints at 127,000 miles. Now at 149,000 and going strong; however body is showing rust and systems are starting to fail. Great car for us and worth the minimal $$. Not for all drivers, but regular maintenance gives solid transportation.
