 I have owned this car for 5 years now 
and it has been a perpetual nightmare.  
I have replaced the brake rotors and 
pads 4 times.  The dealership, which no 
longer sells kia's, told me that was 
normal.  It has been recalled at least 
4 times that I can remember.  The O2 
sensor went out.  It has had numerous 
electrical problems that have 
conflicted with the aftermarket alarm I 
had installed.  The battery died after 
2 years (I'm on my third).  Do yourself 
a favor and don't buy a Kia.
