kia questions

If gas mileage is a concern, avoid the Sedona minivan. I'm not sure about other Kia models.

I get Roughly 35mpg on my 99 sephia. I bought mine for the same reason you are looking. GAS. My Other vehicle is a 2004 Dodge Dakota 4.7L Quad Cab.

Kia cars suck!!!No horsepower. I had a Kia Sephia, it was dying after 2 years. Dude, it was backfiring. I never heard of a car doing that so soon

So soon? It's not like cars wait until they get a certain age to develop problems. And, it's not like backfiring is inevitable. Did you have the car serviced according to schedule, including the replacement of the timing belt? Cars are intricate; there are a lot of things that can go wrong-- from the simple to the complex. That's why there are mechanics, garages, service centers...

I didn't know that about the Sedona. My fault for making assumptions, I suppose.

kia has had many mechanical problems in the past the new models may be a little better" but. "in my opinion" it will take kia a good long while to be as good as honda or toyota also the resale value on a kia is terrible which really reflects the market value on them. if your gonna buy one you better get an "extended warranty to protect your self" & keep it for a long time because depreciation as mentioned is terrible" i would really look at something else
