1999 Kia Pride Deluxe review from Denmark
"I'm keeping this one for a long time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition failure after a visit to the car wash.
General comments?
It's very fun to drive.
Handles well, despite the lack of power steering.
Suspension gets a bit wobbly at high speeds, and cabin noise is a bit of a bother.
Second gear is hard to hit, without the use of force.
Spacious interior (I'm 195cm and it fits me perfectly.)
Seats take some getting used to, though. Uncomfortable at first, but very nice once they get that "this-is-my-body-shape" molding :)
