 This is the second Kia I've purchased -  first was an '02 Sedona EX that has been so solid, my ex-wife fought for (and got it) in the divorce.  I paid around 12K brand new as an '04 left over and have had very few problems.  So far after 80K miles all I've done is oil changes, new brake pads, and two new tires (one a side wall puncture).  Have not had to used the warranty on this one, but had to in the past on the Sedona (power window, rear wiper motor) and had no hassles in invoking the warranty.  Great commuter car that also offers pleanty of interior room.  My next car will also be a Kia, but by the way this one's going, that doesn't look like I'll be getting a new one for a while!
