General Comments

So far spent a few thousand bucks just on repairs alone (drove the 3 year old car less than 6 months). However, I did quite a lot of modifications to the car, like bodykits, sports rims, etc. Improved the performance by a bit but there are still a lot of problems like engine leaking oil, brake disc warping, engine mounting crack, drive shaft, etc. Heard a lot of feedback about the poor quality of this model.

    Kia Shuma is really nice car. I have one that car with modifications and I don't have any problems in past 3 years.

    Kia might be a good car in colder countries. Or it might be because of different manufacturers. I'm from Singapore and the car is really problematic. Anyway, I've just sold the car which is pictured above. I bought it at $49,000 and drove it for 10 months. I sold it for $36,000. Imagine how much I lost. Including all the stuff I added to the car to make it perform better, I lost more than $20,000 in 10 months. All because NOBODY WANTS THE CAR! There's no value for Kia in Singapore, or other tropical countries. :(

    hey, where did you buy that body kit? I'm from norway, and have the same car as you, but can't find a body kit for it. Do you know about a good web site? Thanks!
