1998 Kia Pride 1.3
Summary:
Cheap to buy, cheap to run and reliable!
Faults:
The passenger electric window was already stuck when I got the car, then, the glass began to slide down. I had to put a piece of plastic inside the passenger door to keep the window up.
General Comments:
Great car for a very small prize! Here in Italy, a Fiat Panda (the older, uglier model without the optionals), costs more than the KIA Pride. Nonsense.
Very cheap to run. I get about 17 km./liter.
Very very reliable. I use it both in city traffic, and I also traveled from Italy to Poland and back (overall about 2500 km.) already two times.
The engine is not so powerful, but you notice it only at high speed. It's a light car and in the city it's power is more than enough. It's top speed is 165 kph.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
