Faults:

Engine very noisy when cold, some knocking or tapping noise like from valves.

Right rear vision loose (the mirror itself, not the shell)

Internal plastic fitting comes off from roof.

Left rear windows rubber seal shape changed (when I got the car)

Strange noise like the sound "Add" when press the paddle in deep.

Suspension strange noise like the sound "Add" when go through uneven roads.

Instrument panel clear plastic cracked by itself in summer hot days.

Air conditioner fuse like parts (The one in the box at the engine room) out of order, needs to be replaced.

Steering wheel not straight the first day when I just got the car from the dealer.

General Comments:

Too many problems and faults, although they are not major. But still waste owners a lot of valuable time.

It's good in terms of value, but annoy by a lot of minor problems.

Hope Kia can improve the quality of parts.

Faults:

Problems in the engine electrics at 15,000 miles. Engine performance became erratic.

Rear wind screen wash jets not functioning.

General Comments:

Very comfortable interior providing the driver and passengers with ample leg-room. Seats are comfortable and provide good support.

Engine is slightly under-powered for this size of car. Lack of power is especially felt when A/C is on.

Fuel consumption is average. If driven carefully can manage up to 40 miles per gallon.

Good built quality and finishings. However, the dashboard plasic feels cheap.

Very comfortable ride and good road handling.

Huge luggage space. You have to see it to believe it!

A pity that the radio antenna is manually operated considering that even the mirrors are electrically adjusted.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Very good value. The only drawback is reverse parking, the rear view is poor.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

I bought the car because it was cheap. I suppose I wasn't expecting much but it has been a revelation. Excellent build quality (no rattles or squeaks). A stylish and comfortable car. The auto is bit underpowered on inclines and the engine can sound unrefined if pushed. Fuel consumption is OK for a car this size with auto (35 mpg). Most people can't believe it's a Kia!
