Battery gone out at about 70k.
Alternator gone out at about 80k.
Starter replaced at about 95k.
Timing belt changed at 115k.
Axle boot replaced at 80k, 95k, 115k. Maybe I was getting ripped off by the mechanic. I fixed the thing and the wheel starts to go "clock, clock, clock" when I turn a month later.
Burned and wrinkled dash, I thought I was the only one until I read this forum.
Don't sit in the seat for a long time, your butt, back and neck will hurt.
Passenger door lock broke at 80k.
Driver side door lock broke at 95k. I have three keys...
Bought the thing used for $6000 out the door.
I drove almost 60K miles on it so that comes out to 0.1 cent / mile. Not too bad.
It's not a quality car, but consider the cost. It's pretty decent as a mode of transportation.
What's with all the dash messing up?!
Wow, this car sucks, but how did you even get 50000 miles out of it, much less 115000??? I would never have expected a KIA to last for 50000 miles.
Don't be so closed minded with your comment on his review. My brother also had a Kia for years and it was a good car. You just have the mentality that because the name is Kia that it's a bad car. I'm sure some people have had bad experiences with Kias, but it's that stigma that if it isn't a Toyota, Honda or Nissan then it can't be a good car. Only the plastic pieces were cheapo on my brothers car. They would come apart so you would just re-glue them. Even that didn't keep happening a lot.
