"Cute an cheap, but noisy an expensive to repair"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noisy motor.
4x4 system started to make noise at 21000km an still do it. The Kia service never find the problem.
My cup holder broke without any good raison.
My radiator was dead after only 2years an a half.
Rust appear after the first winter on the spare tire rack.
General comments?
I have a bad truck an a bad service from the dealer.
