"A low horsepower, bargain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Can't say the Kia is good or bad. Since I have had it I have had to have the fender guards repainted.

Changed the brakes once.

Changed the tires once.

Have had problems with acceleration.

Factory CD player has a mind of its own.

My speakers sound like I'm in a trash can full of plastic when I turn the radio up to 10.

Check engine light plays peek-a-boo with me.

Clutch started sticking to the floor.

Had to almost pull the motor out to changed the spark plugs.

General comments?

Over all I guess I found one of the best Kia ever made. I'm pushing for 200,000 miles then overhaul the engine.

When an annoying little light plays peak a boo with me, I play peak a boo back with an awl and hammer!
