 Bought the vehicle because I was told they are a great buy for the price. Nothing but problems with the piece of junk since.  Had to change the power steering pump, always needs an alignment,  unknown overheating problem.  This overheats when it wants to with no explanation for it.  Changed thermostat, radiator lines, water pump and fluid.  Still over heats when it wants.  Now it needs new struts and what they call a transmission but really is a trans axle.  Was told it was like putting a snow blower tranny into a van. Lots of rust around the rear hatch handle.  Motor is very loud.  Overall, just a huge piece of junk.  Do not buy in my opinion.  Will never recommend a Kia to anyone.
