 You get what you pay for.  In KIA terms, inexpensive means cheaply made. The gas mileage stinks for the car size. This car will nickel-and-dime you to death!  The latch on the driver's door has been repaired at least 6 times.  The doors freeze and won't shut (if you can even open them) if the temperature dips below 30. The engine is so loud, it sounds like a full-size pick up on the road. The body is cheap. It chips and dents very easily.  When you're driving, the doors are like tin foil - you can actually hear the wind outside whistling through the door seal.  I will NEVER buy another KIA again. If you need a small, inexpensive car, go for something with more substance.
