2000 Kia Carnival review from Australia and New Zealand
"A big fat lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine has blown at 58,000km
The sliding doors handles break
Very high petrol costs
The fittings in the car break very easily.
General comments?
Never ever buy a KIA.
Very disappointed in KIA.
The car is a money pit that we had to pay thousands to fix when it is a known fault in the car.
