1996 Kia Pride review from UK and Ireland
"A perfect reliable first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has been more or less completely faultless, but then again I've only had it a few months, so I'll just have to see if it develops any faults. Doubt it though.
General comments?
The KIA Pride is hardly built for power or speed, but nevertheless it is economical and extremely reliable.
It's also great fun to drive and you'd be surprised at how much space it has for a small car.
In general I'd recommend the KIA Pride to anybody who needs a fun small car that's as durable as pre-cast concrete.
