"Looks good coming and going, real eye catcher"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I am working with the dealership on a power steering leak. It lost about a half pint in 700 miles and we cannot tell where it is coming from.

General comments?

This car has it all from leather to climate control. No serious problems yet and love to drive it.

Priced under 20K and is very quite and roomy enough for 4 on any long trip.

Infinity stereo is a good sound package.

I own a 2004 Kia Optima with 59000 on it. I like the vehicle, but am not thrilled that at 60.000 I have to change the timing belt or the engine could be compromised. That is a $600 repair that seems that a timing belt should last for at least 100.000 like the Hondas. I also think that the vehicle could get better fuel mileage, I'm getting about 22MPG with the V6 engine and auto trans.
