OT: any Kia drivers ?
I love Kia's!!!! I have owned two of them. The first one was a Kia Sephia, I lost it in a flood. I drove the car for 3 years. No problems at all. I did lose the gas cap and the car quit on me. But it was due to the gas cap being gone and it lost pressure. As soon as the mechanic put one on it was fine. When I had to get a new car because of the flood, I went straight to hatfields automall (better deals there than Ricart) and got a new Kia Rio. I loved it more than the first one. No problems at all with it. Drove it for almost a year. It was totaled out in a three car accident on 270. Actually the fireman told me that the way the car was designed probably saved my life. The moter is designed to go down instead of straight back into the firewall. Also, at first I was upset to see striafoam (sp) in the front bumper. The fireman said that is to take the shock of the impact to lesson the damage. I could not go get a new one after the wreck. My insurance just barely paid the car off, so now I am driving a oldsmobile achieva. I can't wait to get my taxes back, becuase I am wanting to go get me another Kia. I was sold on the low maintance and price on the car but after my wreck when I found out about all the saftey features, like reenforced beams around the car it sold me even more.
I hope this helps.

I do not drive a Kia, but I sell them on a daily basis. I work for Enterprise and I sell all of the off lease vehicles wholesale to Dealers here in Northeast Ohio. The Rumor is that Kia makes a Sh@**y Car, but Kia is doing a great Job lately to prove that rumor wrong. For the Price you cannot beat a Sorento, it is a well equipped car and has a lot of standard options that other vehicle do not have. Take an Chevy Equinox for example great car too, but is about 5-8 gr more than a Sorento.
Alot of car for the money, and you cant beat the warranty.
GOTTA GETTA KIA
