In their own words

I have had this car just over a year now. I've not had to many complaints other than rear passenger window doesn't open after many attempts to fix.
Now coming up to a year and then issues have started. Problems with electrical systems, issues with automatic hand brake, issues with auto hold. Been in and out of the garage costing me £250+ each time. Then the nail on the head I get a recall notice for a faulty sensor. All the while you think you have a 7 year warranty which is biggest scam going. Unless you have full service history with dealership it will not be valid, which is very hard to come by when you buy used.

Really let down by Kia. Won't be buying one again in a hurry.
