This is a great little car. I've kept up with the proper maintenance and no problems at all. Had it for 2 years and 30,000 miles and only normal wear and tear items. Vehicle has never had an alignment and tires wear properly. No check engine light or other warning lights. Only issue was the driver side window electrical problem which was temporarily fixed. My technician said that it looked like a lot of water got into the door panel, rusted some metal and also affected the electrical. Wonderful car otherwise! (At least it wasn't a regulator... yet).
Sometimes my power windows won't go down, and if I press the driver side button, I hear clicking, but not with the other buttons. Sometimes they will work fine so it's intermittent. Do Kia's have a known electrical/window problem?
