By Kimberly M on 1/17/2026 1:38:55 AM
Bought it from an auction back in August, minor repairs but that’s it!! I will be selling soon! Looking for something newer. It’s been kind to me though! Very reliable!! - 4.0
Great economy car
By Gabby on 3/8/2022 9:05:36 PM
I bought my Kia with 170k miles in may and so far have 180k miles, with that I had my brakes fixed and a new battery, but I mean the previous owner sure wore it out which is fine every car needs work, the car kinda makes a ticking noise when it's running. The sound system is beautiful though for a 2010. But the car door sounds like metal when you close it but no biggy - 4.0
Very reliable car

I bought this car new in 2010. I have changed the oil and break pads regularly. I have not had any trouble where I have had to take it to a garage. One of the most dependable cars I have ever owned.
