Comfortable and Great Gas Mileage

This was purchased for my daughter and she loves the comfort and gas mileage she gets! This has been a very reliable car and we'd recommend it to others looking for a used vehicle in an affordable price range.

Good basic car if you are looking for a deal.

This car was very basic, without power windows, doors or seats. Very zippy for a four cylinder and easy to park. Seats are not terribly comfortable, but it's a very basic car.

Go Kia!

Great little car, peppy, and fantastic on gas! Very nice size trunk, 4 door, and I feel so comfortable in it! If you ever get the chance to buy a Kia you won't be sorry!!

Proud owner for 9 years

I love this car...it has been so reliable; it has plenty of storage for hauling trash, lumber, artwork; it's comfortable; and it's been our choice for long trips.

Durable gas saver

Durable little car that wastes little gas. With $20 dollars I drove all week long. Run your air conditioner and waste little gas. Better than electric cars or hybrids because those are expensive to fix.

good reliability and pick up for a small car

Drives great and is good on gas. Exterior nice looking lacks comfort. Roomy for small car and large size trunk

Most reliable and bang for the buck

Never had any major issues till date. After 8 years and 90k miles, it still has no major maintenance costs yet. Just regular maintenance and you are good for a year.

Most Reliable car I've owned.

I named her "little cochinota" it eats up the road nonstop and continues on like the **Energizer bunny. (**Energizer bunny are trademarks of Energizer corp./used only as a reference. I am not associated with Energizer.)

Just purchased my Kia. So far, runs like a top. No complaints so far. Have always heard good things about Kia so I hope we have many years of travel together!
