2001 Kia Magentis SE-v6 review from North America
"Treat it good and it will do the same to you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Up until about 250000km nothing has gone wrong since then the automatic climate control isn't working properly (fan and temp still work fine just the automatic setting doesn't) 'driver side seat heater needs fixing, at around 300000km wheel bearings were replaced as well as a couple vacuum lines and the transmission needed to be replaced at 320000km (take in mind that although the engine was maintained impeccably the transmission was completely neglected)
General comments?
Provided this car is maintained properly it's a great bang for your buck. mines over 300000km and when I took it in for the tranny work the guys at the dealership told me that it runs smoother then the majority of the cars that come in there with a quarter of the mileage.
