This picture came directly from Kia's web page back in 2002.
I purchased the car in October 2002. A few days later, it was in an accident. It cost close to $6,000 for all the repairs for a car that only cost $9,000. The insurance company covered it all.
After just one year of driving, I had to put another $450 into repairs. New brakes, rotors, tires, alignment, etc.
There have been a few things I haven't been able to fix. The steering wheel is ALWAYS off center. I think its been that way since I got it. I've taken it to two Kia dealers, and none of their technicians can seem to do anything about it.
Another thing that has bothered me since I got it is a whistling sound of air rushing through the passenger side door. I think maybe the accident is the cause of that. A lot of stuff was replaced on the back and right side of the car, and perhaps the front passenger side door doesn't align properly with the new right side.
