I've bought 3 new Kia's over the last 12 years - My 2003 Rio with 60,000 miles on it just lost its' transmission without warning - One minute it was fine, the next there was transmission fluid everywhere. It was then that I learned that the 100,000 mile/10 year warranty the salesman bragged about wasn't worth the paper it was written on as my warranty expired 3 months ago. When I purchased my cars (all three of them) NO ONE mentioned that the 100,000 mile warranty was an additional expense nor offered to let purchase it. After spending $3,100 for a new tranny - that initial low cost of the Rio isn't such a good bargain after all. Be forewarned - My advice is to stay far far away from Kia's.
