2002 Kia Magentis LX review from North America
"A real bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light came on as a result of a loose connection.
General comments?
Car handles beautifully, has good acceleration and is very comfortable. Very well appointed.
I would have liked to have heated rearview mirrors but this has been addressed on later models.
