"KIA Carnival stinks"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

For 2 years the KIA was apparently running fine then problems began to emerge:

- Head gasket blew at around 30,000KM

- Electrical problems with fuel injection

- Electrical problems with warning lights

-Fuel gage sticks at half-way point

- CD-Player skips and now CDs just won't play.

- Automatic gearbox starting to have problems in engaging 4th gear.

General comments?

The car's turning circle is terrible. Although it was a good price, and it comes with 3 years manufacturers warranty, having the car of the road every 2nd week is not worth it.

Re-sale price drops considerably.
