 In the shop 3 times within the first 
33,000 miles - I missed my lemon law by 
2 months.  Twice for the transmission, 
once for the clutch.  I'd love to take 
credit for being a poor driver and 
damaging it myself, but it's just not 
true.  I drive it like a granny car and 
it still died on me.  The transmission 
is dead right now and needs to be 
replaced.  Covered under warranty?  
Nope.  KIA's one slick customer.
They could have found a worse place for 
the cupholder, like on the windshield.  
It's fine when it's not holding a cup, 
but you pop it out and it blocks some 
of the interior controls, and also the 
AC vents.  This comes in real handy on 
a hot day.
