General comments?
Car from hell
Brand new car and it went hay wire.
The electric locking system locks it self after 30 seconds and you must rush to get in or else the key gets jammed inside the lock only possible way out when inside is through the window.
I went to a KIA specialist garage and they arrogantly said it was perfectly fine! After that I took it back to the place where I purchased it and they took it back with no question.
Good Points: No Rust.
