 This car has been the biggest 
headache.  In the last 4.5 years, I 
have replaced the breaks 4 times, the 
axel, and now the transmission that 
comes just 1,000 miles outside of the 
power train warranty.  I am faced with 
a $2,000 repair which is barely what 
the car is worth.  Don't take this 
care even if its free!  I have had 
many cars before this one.  All cars 
have their little idiosyncracies - but 
this one...Well all I can say as a 
word to the wise - buyer beware.  Even 
my dealer doesn't sell Kias anymore.
