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.
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!
