Consumer Description

I WOULD NEVER BUY A KIA AGAIN. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. THE TRANSMISSION PREMATURELY WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING. HAD TO BE COMPLETLY REPLACED. BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES MELTED DUE TO REASONS STILL UNKNOWN. THE BRAKES WORN PREMATURELY. NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE OTHER HASSLES I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR. SOMETIMES I WISH SOMEONE WOULD JUST TAKE IT, I HATE IT SO MUCH!
