        Great economy car

        by Gabby on 3/8/2022 9:05:36 PM

        I bought my Kia with 170k miles in may and so far have 180k miles, with that I had my brakes fixed and a new battery, but I mean the previous owner sure wore it out which is fine every car needs work, the car kinda makes a ticking noise when it's running. The sound system is beautiful though for a 2010. But the car door sounds like metal when you close it but no biggy

        Very reliable car

        by Paul on 1/20/2022 7:45:13 PM

        I bought this car new in 2010. I have changed the oil and break pads regularly. I have not had any trouble where I have had to take it to a garage. One of the most dependable cars I have ever owned.
