 The problem I have with KIA in general is the warranty. They sell you the car with this great warranty and then pretty much refuse to honor it if they can. "Lack of maintenance" is a global loop-hole they use to not do warranty work. I have 49,000 mi on my car and they're saying I need a new engine due to the above and won't warranty it.  I do not "need" a new engine, and I have done the recommended services per the warranty policy.  But, again, they won't honor it.  Nobody at the dealership cares, or at KIA corporate. My husband has a honda with twice as many miles, and has had no problems.  Steer clear of KIA and stick with a reliable manufacturer.
