2002 Kia Carnival LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Biggest piece of rubbish ever built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wiring loom replaced at 60000ks, cost 3000 dollars.
Seats all ripping at seams.
Blew second motor at 113000ks; most impressed.
Motor blew at 53000ks.
General comments?
These cars are terrible; nothing but trouble.
Couldn't believe when it did the second motor.
The car was serviced at the right times. One day it just blew the motor again. So I traded it in at a car yard. Could bring myself to sell it privately.
DO NOT BUY THESE PIECES OF RUBBISH, NO MATTER HOW CHEAP, CAUSE THE ONE I SOLD IS OUT THERE AND IT'S NOT ALONE.
Why Consumer Affairs didn't make Kia refund the money we all paid for these things shows how weak they are as well. Do not buy any Kia products no matter what.
