 I bought my Kia new because it gave me so much for such a great price, and I love the look.  However, I have had it in the shop for repairs at least 8 times in three years.  If they can't replicate the issue they don't acknowledge it.  I even created the terrible noise for the representative, but because the service manager couldn't do it, they changed nothing.  There are many rattles, I have had to replace the windshield washer twice, the battery had to be replaced, the suspension has had multiple problems.  Several lights have been replaced.  Nothing huge but all very annoying - I'm looking to get rid of it before something else goes!
