Kia 1996-2018Change

We have the GDI engine version of this car and maybe put around 10k km per year on it. Change the oil twice a year as specified in the severe condition category.

The engine is quite noisy and shaky at low idle speed. I am also very worried that this generation of GDI engine has issues with carbon build up on the intake valves.

Now there is a recall campaign in Canada because the engine could catch on fire.

I actually really like this car, but feels like a timebomb.

No such thing as a perfect car but this Kia Rondo is perfect for us. Very comfortable and quiet and handles our terrible roads very well. Family recently came to visit and amazing what we were able to pack into it. This might be the best car I have ever owned.

It provides all the basic things needed in a car and is reasonably comfortable. It is relatively roomy both in the front and the back, and I haven't had very many problems with it. The biggest complaint I may have is that the headrests are quite uncomfortable, and are placed too forward. Overall though, it is a good ride.

The Kia Soul is a car with a desired taste. It has its advantages of being small and maneuverable with a fair amount of space for a very small family or just couples.

Overall comfort is good with adjustable seating and great dashboard and center console.

Transmission can be a problem when running uphill. The car seems to have a noticable delay when revving to get up the hill and it doesn't seem to pull compared to other vehicles I have driven.

Fuel Economy is good for a compact SUV, although, with its small size and weight, it isn't quite as good as what I had hoped. It is best to leave the Eco on whenever possible.

Whether winter or summer, the car operates satisfactorily, but don't expect it to be a race horse.

The car is a beautiful car inside and out and it handles very well, has lots of speed, the moon roof is a nice feature, but it did have small quarks about it for being such a high end car. The locks on the outside had factory issues and the leather seats seem to be very cheap, the rims were only just coated in chrome. Also the handsfree Bluetooth for the phone was awful the person your speaking to can never hear you, but the stereo is Bose and it is amazing.

Very happy with the quality of this vehicle. Was a little uneasy going into the winter with the KIA. But when they say they have the power to surprise, They mean it. Well done.

This car is definitely not the most stylish car but it has been reliable. I have not had any problems with it since I bought it. The only time I have gone to the shop is for a tire change or a routine oil change. Would buy this car again

I bought this car used in May of 2017. So far, aside from squeaking noises from my brakes in humid weather, I have not encountered a single issue. The car had 110,000km upon purchase.

I didn't think a company could make as good a car as this one for the price they were charging. Thankfully, I was wrong! It is a smooth car with no problems and I am happy I took a chance!

The 2013 Kia Optima is a decent car with few negatives. Over the last 3 years I've owned the car, my only real complaint is with the automatic traction control. It is WAY TO SENSITIVE, and yes that needed all capital letters. all though there is a button to turn this on and off, its automatically on whenever you start the engine. it doesn't make a difference if its pouring rain or if theres a puddle on the intersection or some loose gravel. if its under the tires, it kicks in when you press the gas and jerks the car violently by braking automatically. this has almost caused accidents based on me trying to accelerate to turn into a lane where i normally would have a ton of room to get up to speed. instead I'm just cutting it close and have the car behind me laying on its horn. I really hope newer models are addressing this issue.

I've had my KIA FORTE since it 2014 and have had no issues at all with it. Kept up with maintenance and that's it. Drives remarkably and will trade in for a new one

Fun to drive.Good on fuel economy.Good seats & quite ride
Lots of power with Turbo & decent fuel economy.Would buy again.

As my very first SUV, this has to be the most comfortable car I've ever owned. Traveling for hours is far from being an issue when you can be this snug. On top of it, I've never had any big issues with it (so far) so maintenance isn't too costly, but it certainly uses more fuel than hybrid or smaller cars. Still, I have no regrets!

This is a small vehicle on the outside but inside it is amazingly roomy both in the front and rear. Head room is awesome and it is great for someone who wants a smaller car but not cramped for room.. two thumbs up.

Picks up speed nicely. It is a nice quiet car that is great for a family of five. Large trunk is quite useful to carry bigger items and opens up to backseat. Great on gas. KIA is great about letting their clients know when work is due. CD player fails after a couple of years. Starts to decline more rapidly once warranty is done.

Has been an excellent vehicle. Low maintenance. Reliable. good on gas. A very comfortable ride and feel safe driving. The height makes visibility good. Winter driving is great, drives well and have never been snowed in. I would buy another and recommend the same to family and friends.

i haven't had a problem so far, its been a good reliable care would buy another one. I have winter studded tires and don't have a problem with winter driving . it handles good and really have nothing bad to say about it.i have owned it for almost three years now. it hasn't let me down yet. i do my own oil changes and brakes and found it really maintenance friendly.easy to get at and take apart. all fluid reservoirs are easy access.lots of room around the motor. i have to kids and it holds all of us and camping gear.

I purchased the sx model, simply for the awd turbo combination. Decent fuel mileage when a person is taking advantage of the added hp this unit has. Interior comfort was great, and awd performance in the Alberta winter utterly exceptional.

Cheap insurable sports car THAT IS IMPRESSIVE.

Great car Kia has come a long way.

CVT transmission is amazing in comparaison to my old Kizashi.

since this car is coming up on its 12th birthday, it hasn't aged all that well and is not the greatest of rides.

Never had any issues in the last 10 years of owning this vehicle and will proudly buy a new Kia again some day

I have had this car since it was brand new and it has always been exactly what I need. Reliable both in the city and on highways, good on gas and able to fit everything I need in the hatchback. If you're looking for a small peppy car, check out the forte

I've had this vehicle for going on ten years now. Never had any major issues. It's reliable and efficient. The ride is incredibly comfortable and it handles very well

The cube-like Soul is sold in three unique trim levels — LX, EX and SX. The LX comes with a 130-horsepower 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder. The EX and SX enjoy a more powerful 164-hp 2.0L GDI four-cylinder. The 1.6L engine is mated to a six-speed manual or, optionally, a six-speed automatic. The 2.0L engine comes exclusively with a six-speed automatic. A significant suspension upgrade in 2014 made the Soul more nimble and agile. Hallmark touches of the funky compact include a wraparound greenhouse, high-mounted taillights and upright stance. Available LED front positioning lights and rear LED “light bar” lights help connect Soul to other models within the Kia lineup. Also available is the Soul EV, a pure-electric plug-in model powered by a synchronous AC motor through a single-speed transmission. The liquid-cooled electric motor puts out 109 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque.

My experience with this vehicle has been all positive. I bought it used and it has not disappointed one bit!
