I had a Kia..they suck. But that is just my opinion, I may have just had bad luck with it, I dont know. I just wont have another one. I stick with Chevy's now- and only chevy. Look in your local news paper, I bet you find plenty of cars that you can buy outright, saving you the head ache of a car payment and rediculous insur. payments. My truck is a good example of what you can find, it is a 4x4 and runs like a champ.. and I only spent $600.00 for the truck. The truck may not be as "pretty" as others, but, beauty is in the eye of the beholder..as long as my truck runs well, plays well and so on, I dont care what others say.
