Kia parts reviews

This was my first car, bought 2nd hand during year 2016. Mine was 2.0cc 6 speed year built was 2012. Ive had eyeing this car for months before i took it.

Here's what best for me of this car:

1. Sporty looking, others in her segment only mitsubishi lancer was the top and i'll placed her seconds

2. Got paddleshifter as well

3. Steering felt really light, it was electric power steering

4. Rim stock 17" size, most other in her segment was 16". Again, lancer was 18" and Altis was 17" as well (but Altis still pricey of the same year)

5. 2.0cc was quick eventho this car heavy at her segment. Cruising easily goes to 160kmph and steering still felt sturdy

6. Audio system was okay-ish but change mine to aftermarket

Cons:

1. Fuel consumption is high, but not that too high

2. Spare part was easy to find around online/halfcut but a bit costly. Some people told me it was costly like owning a honda?

3. Shock Absorber prone to weak/faulty after 5 years of use

4. Small spare part mostly use plastic gear. Side mirror use plastic gear. The steering got small plastic gear(forgot whats it call) that will cause guk-guk sound when turning the steering but will not cause safety of the car

8 years as of 2nd owner I had replace:

1. Aircond compressor and radiator due to compressor failure

2. Rear wheel speed sensor

3. Front absorber two time changed (used OEM, not original)

4. Replaced stabilizer links due to bad rubber

5. Replaced belting and belt tensioner due to bad bearing

Sold it last year due to car upgrade. Still miss her tho..

The DRLs also never fade unlike newer Toyotas or Hondas that often go yellowish under warranty.

ive used this in 2 cars ive owned never had a issue with it

i had a picanto from 68k with changing oil every 6 month with mannol since i did alot of mileage and i sold it at 140k engine was still running quiet

I changed my wife's KIA Soul pads at 60k miles. Used OEM pads. Checked a month or two ago and they were still halfway through. She is at 200k miles.

Am pus Michelin CrossClimate 2 in octombrie pe o masina de 1.6 tone si locuiesc in oras montan. Sunt exceptionale pentru pretul platit.

Just swapped all four plugs in my 2013 Kia optima EX 2.4l for ngk iridium’s, still had the original sensor plugs in at 91k so honestly not sure how I didn’t have any misfires but have had a rough idle

have some re003s on mine, but i’ve noticed they can get a little squealy off the line, even while dry

Be careful when buying brakes for the Stinger, if you buy anything cheaper than the originals you'll get a nasty judder within a couple thousand miles! I had to replace the disc and pads with EBC Yellow to get rid of it. The judder was awful.

Junk. Brakes are too small. Have to replace quickly. Plastic shit interior.

2012 Kia Rio has a timing chain not a timing belt. What you're hearing is on the left side of the engine which helps confirm I what I believe to be is timing chain slap or a guide broke off and is getting thrown around.
