2007 Kia Magentis LX review from North America

"OVERALL, a great buy, VERY HAPPY with it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Absolutely nothing.

General comments?

Great value for the money. Peppy 4 cylinder engine. The V6 isn't worth it in my opinion, plus this 4 cylinder has a timing chain rather than a timing belt, so long term maintenance should be less expensive & more reliable.

Great fuel economy for such a large car thanks to the 5 speed AUTOMATIC gearbox.

Comfortable ride, but the suspension is a bit on the soft side.

Throttle tip-in a bit too touchy for my taste, but you get used to it.

Very nice 4 wheel disc brakes.

Roomy trunk.

Advantageous warranty.

The center console armrest could be an inch higher, would make for a better driving position. The seat belts would need a clip to hold the buckle tight against the B-pillar when not in use, they tend to knock & make noise on a bumpy road... but I live in Quebec, most anywhere else it shouldn't be an issue.
