Anyone own a Kia?

I've had 2 of them...I bought a Kia Sephia brand new...it was so aful and was in the shop so much and they couldn't EVER fix it. Didn't matter which dealership it went to, it wouldn't stay running. Every time I took it in for them to fix one thing, something else broke while they were trying to fix it. After 3 years and the dealership finally realizing it was a lemon, KIA offered me to pick another KIA and simply pay the difference. I said yes, not because I wanted a KIA but because I wanted a car that would run! I got a KIA Sportage. The Sportage was better than the Sephia, but I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER KIA EVER.....0

That kia looks pretty cool. If you are talking the 200+ hp versions
Don't they come with a no quible 7yr warranty
That chevvy looks the typical uninspired GM c r ap0 -
I like the Kia Sorrentos0

Husband owns a Kia and while it's not a really nice sports car it meets his need for an economical and safe means of transportation. I drive it when my Mercury breaks down .
He's had no issues. I've had a bevy of them. Of all the cars we've owned, it's really the cheapest car both in style and accessories, but it runs every time and he's had no issues.
I like it.0 -
I have a 2011 Kia Soul. I love it. It gets about 24 mpg in the city driving. You can't beat the warrantee.0

I purchased a Kia Spectra5 in '08 and love it. The customer service I have received from their maintenance department where I go for oil changes and preventative maintenance has been outstanding, unlike anything I have ever had at other dealerships.
However, like others have said, I've noticed it is wearing out faster than the Chevy Cavalier I drove. (The chevy started wearing out in the 70-80K range, but my Kia is starting to feel the wear in tear in the 50-60K mileage range).
The mileage is great. I drive mostly highway and average 30-35 mpg.0 -
I have had a Kia Sedona since 2003, and aside from normal wear and tear it's been reliable. I will definitely get another when this one's time comes.0

I owned a Kia in 2007. I think it was a 2003 Kia Sportage. Fun little car to drive, but it had lots of issues. Ended up totalling it when I pulled out in front of a hulking 78 Chevy van. Crushed it like a Coke can. I don't really consider the Kia a smart buy. In my experience, they are not made very well, and therefore, not dependable. But the company may have changed the way they manufacture their products since I owned one. Just my opinion. I would not buy another one.0

My wife has a Kia and I disagree with the perception that they wear out quickly. The older ones would wear down but the new ones are getting top grades in every area....and they back it with the warranty and give you a rental (no charge) if something does happen.0

Have a kia forte. Love it. Went from a honda CRV that was in the shop once a month and bleeding me dry. I fell for the Honda name and was very dissapointed. At least I know if I have issues with this car in the future I have an amazing warranty.0

This information is very helpful.....Anyone from Maryland/Baltimore that can recommend a dealership? The one I am currently looking at is Jones Kia in Fallston.0

I have a kia rio, ive had it 18 months, bought second hand and is 52 reg, i think, but may be wrong, thats 10 years old. It had never failed an MOT when i got it, it passed again the first time I put it through and the second time, I needed a new tyre, windscreen wipers, a couple of other little things that i cant rememer now. Kias are now sold with a 7 year parts and labour guarantee, so the one you are looking at will still be under that guarantee. My car has never let me down, and when its time to buy a new one, it will definitely be another kia0

We really like Buchanan Kia in Westminster, but that may be out of the way for you - we bought both our Kias from there.0 -
I'm sorry, I could never bring myself to purchase a car who's company name stands for Killed In Action....
:noway:
I am sorry....I have never heard of this before? How did you find this out?0 -

:huh: it's a military acronym that's been around for years MIA = missing in action, KIA = killed in action
You lie! You know you just made it up.0 -
When I was car shopping recently, all the reviews for the new Optimas were really good. It's a very highly rated, affordable family car. Plus they look really nice! I saw a brand new one on my way to work today and I really liked the aesthetic.
I recently bought a new Mazda 3, though, less expensive and very highly rated as well, just fit into my budget better.0 -
Yes I am trying to get the "most bang for my buck" as I am sure everyone who is car shopping is. I have time to make a purchase so I will keep looking around. I will check into the Mazada's also. I don't know much about cars....lol.0

I have had my kia mini van for about 3 years and love it. Great in snow, comfortable ride. We had one clitch with a sensor, they came and picked up the car and fixed it. Great warranty. I would def. go Kia again.0

I don't own a Kia, but did look very seriously at them recently when I was looking for a car. They USED to be known as crappy cars. More recently, however, they have shot way up in consumer satisfaction and reliability. I know because I researched the hell out of them. Consumer Reports seems to love them.
Also ditto on Honda being recently downgraded. My 2006 Civic was crapola compared to my 2002 Civic.
The research indicates to me that Kia is now a good buy.0 -
I do not own one, but have really considered looking into the KIA optima. I have had my eye on the Hyundai Sonata's since the new body style came out. I am now waiting to see the Ford Fusion that comes out in fall with a new body style, then I will make my decision.0
