| I don't have a Kia but I have a Hyundai and I LOVE it! The warranty is great and they really pony up when they have to if you are sure to keep up with required maintenance (like a 30,000 mile check-up). Due to no fault of mine and a technician error, I blew my engine in January. It completely seized up and my car was done for but Hyundai replaced it with a brand-new engine just as promised in the warranty. Other than that, I have never had any problems with my car AT ALL in the 4 years I have owned it. I very highly recommend a Hyundai as an inexpensive yet totally reliable car. Good luck!

| I have one I have a Kia Optima, haven't had any troubles with it & it's pretty good on gas too. I had to get it after someone ran into the back of my Honda & it was totaled. I have no complaints about it at all though. |

| My best friend has a Kia Rio named Loretta. He's had it for at least 4 years now and he loves it. The only issue he's complained about it is he keeps having blown tires which I think he said has to do with the rims. I have another friend who had a Kia Sephia and it was cursed. She hit a deer, drove under a semi and eventually the engine caught on fire. I don't think it was the car's fault. I just think Katie has bad luck with cars.

| My sister has a Kia Rio (had it for 4 years) and had no problems whatsoever with it. She loves it. I'm actually considering one for myself!

| My friend had one for about a year and it seemed very cheaply made to me. The fabric on the roof would droop down and the car was brand new it was a spectra. Maybe it was just hers though. I have an infiniti G35 and I love it.

| I have a Kia Sportage and I really like it. I never wanted a big, clunky car and have never really liked driving. This is different for me. I feel more comfortable driving it. I think because I'm a little higher up. It also still feels like a small car to me. Gas isn't bad either.

| I was looking at a Rondo - its new this year. Its a CUV - crossover utility vehicle. I like it and the gas mileage isnt to bad 27 hgwy for a V6. They did total my car and only gave me 3297 - 1st offer - which I am NOT taking. They took out 2800 for hail damage and thats not even what they gave me to fix it!!!!

| I don't have one, but when we were car shopping we were thinking about one. They offer good extended warranties on their cars! I ended up getting a PT Loser......well, that's what my son calls it, but I LOVE it!

| check out the safety ratings. They are affordable and they have a great warranty, but when I went to the dealership they were just ....car salesman. I went with the Toyota.

| You don't want a Kia I don't think they're as good as they claim to be. My aunt bought one (after I told her not to) and she's getting rid of it. They're cheaply made and they don't ride well, they're also not very comfortable. I work at a Chevrolet dealership, in the service department. Chevrolet's (2007 and newer new cars and used GM certifieds) have a better warranty and Chevrolet stands behind their product. They do more good will on out of warranty repairs than probably any other manufacturer. The base warranty new is 3 years, 36,000 miles. The powertrain warranty is 5 years, 100,000 miles. You can buy an extended warranty for fairly cheap because of the powertrain warranty.
