What things have gone wrong with the car?

First pair of Tires were worn bald at 23,000 miles!

Dealer says "I didn't rotate them often enough"

Second pair of Tires worn bald by 35,000 miles!

Dealer says "I didn't rotate them often enough"

Cruise Control doesn't work at all anymore. Dealer replaced "module" under warranty but it still doesn't work. Originally it worked very intermittently. I complained again but still no call back from KIA dealer.

(It's been over six months now since they said they'll check into it further and call me back) (Yes, I have an answering machine)

Gas mileage 3-4 miles per gallon less than advertised.

General comments?

High maintenance vehicle.

1. What kind and rating of tires are you buying?

2. What is your driving style? The estimates are just that, estimates, how you drive greatly influences that number.
