We've been having problems with the ESC OFF light coming on for no reason - we've had it to KIA for at least 5 times for this same problem and they can't seem to get it fixed - I'm tired of having the vehicle in the shop all of the time.

General Comments:

Great looking car - very comfortable on long trips.

I also am having problems with the car idling up when trying to slow down at intersections and has a high idle speed when starting up putting the car in gear. This has caused my finance' to have a wreck in Oct. 06' and we are still having problems getting the Body Shop and the dealership to fix all the problems (9 months later).

The car also has a popping noise on the drivers left front side when braking hard or with a left turn (still not fixed after several attempts).

I believe the car's frame is bent because the tires are wearing out within 2-3 months (I bought a new tire in May and the dealership says it is less than 3/16" of tread left on it now in middle of July),a alignment doesn't last very long and the headlights are misaligned that bolt to the frame of the car (according to KIA) and there is only a small fine adjustment that can be made.

I am so tired of the non service and the attitude from the dealership that I am now considering seeking lawyer to assist in settling the matters because of the dealerships lack of service, training, knowledge or desire to fix these problems!

General Comments:

The car does handle very good and does have a smooth ride when everything is aligned and straight.

I like the comfort of the interior and the style of the vehicle.

The car doesn't have very good gas mileage and the performance seems to be diminishing with age of the car.

I have only had it for 4 months. The week after I got it the windshield washer fluid wouldn't work. I took it in and the little hose had come disconnected. It may have been like that when I purchased it... I hadn't tried it before then.

I have been noticing a clicking noise when I turn. I need to have this checked out.

I am most disappointed with the paint. It seems like the least little thing scratches it. I had a box that was in the trunk and while taking it out, I set it on the bumper while I closed the trunk lid. I now have scratch marks where the box was placed. I have several scratches in other places too. I have never owned a car that was so delicate.

General Comments:

This car is very comfortable.

I get about 20-24 miles per gallon.

When it is clean, it sparkles!

Great manufacturer warranty. This was the deciding factor when we purchased it. I was leery of owning a KIA.

Faults:

Have had no trouble with the car.

General Comments:

The car has impressed me more than I thought it would.

I got 30 miles to the gallon at 65 miles per hour on a recent trip.

The car is very quite and rides comfortably.

I have all the power I need with the car's v6.
