I bought this car about a year ago with 150,000 kms on it. After purchase I had tune up, rad flush, and oil change. I lose km's on hills, it is basically impossible to pass people unless I gear down on a flat with LOTS of space to gain speed. Have replaced - exhaust, exhaust gaskets, both front axles, brake lines, gas lines, hub assembly, rad hose, starter, alternator, had wiring redone and now I have a sending unit that needs to be replaced. Obviously I refuse to spend another penny on this lemon. It has put a bad taste in my mouth of EVER owning another Kia in my lifetime. I would rather walk, which is basically what you'll spend most your time doing if you buy one.
