2001 Kia Pride GTX review from Iran
"It's an ordinary car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
AC is very weak and it stopped working before the first service. front electric window's switch came out of its place. radiator cracked in 5000th km. the steering wheel vibrates on high speeds and needs to control speed immediately. shock absorbers are very weak. after a few kilometers dashboard starts noising.
General comments?
Manufactured and serviced by a local company called saipa. Its available in hatchback, sedan and station wagon.
I own a sedan.
Front and back seats are comfortable. In this class of cars it is very spacious one. acceleration is very quick. brakes are powerful. fuel consumption is very low.
