Kia Pride

I love my Kia Pride

Advantages: Economical, Simple and low mainteance expenses
Disadvantages: not so stylist

...has one unit of 1997 Kia pride Lx sedan model available on his garage. At first i was hesitant to buy this car because i am hearing a lot of confusing things and advices from my friends but what the heck! this is the only decent car that would fit my budget that time, and so i took it. I named it "Adrian" and treat it as my first born. You can't expect much from it since it was a second hand and an ex-cab. Yet, it surprise me by its performance. ...
...speed exceeded my expectation. My Kia pride is just a simple car and it look better if you just let it that way. The maintenance wont give you a headache (unlike what my office mates gets from their car). Every thing is affordable with Kia pride. This car consumes fuel economically and its size is a huge advantage when driving in traffic. ...

Kia Pride

Advantages: cheap, easy to drive, perfect first car.
Disadvantages: no power steering.

...learning to drive and my kia pride is perfect for me to drive around in in between lessons. i was given this car as a present from a relative, and she assured me that she has never had any major problems with it the whole 13 years she has been driving it. it is a small, yet perfectly formed little car, easy to drive and relatively cheap to run. the insurance only costs me £60 a month as a learner, although i know this will go up when i pass. ...

Review of Kia Pride

The Great Kia

Advantages: Easy to fix, loads of space and pleasant to drive.
Disadvantages: Prone to rust, needing to shop around for parts and it looks funny as a van.

I have been driving my Kia Pride since the start of the Year and I have to admit.... I Love the thing. Check out www.japarts.co.uk The link works, I'm on it now. It's a site that site that sells all Kia parts quite cheaply. If you know of someone who can fit tha parts for, this way works out quite cheap. My Pride is a fantastic piece of engineering. It must be near 15 years old and is working fantastically, Flew through the last MOT and is driving ...
...quite easy, thus the little Kia will continue to drive hopefully for many more years. I have a slightly strange ace my sleeve too..... as My little Hatchback is in fact a Van............ So, I'm able to get out entire drum kit and Two guitars and amps and travel to gigs....... The space inside is just so vast, it really shouldn't be so..... ...

Review of Kia Pride

I, KIA

Advantages: Cheap on fuel, insurance & tax. Mazda fuel injected engine & quite nippy
Disadvantages: Not many for what they cost. Image I guess.

Kia Pride Shout 1998 3 door 1324cc I‘ve owned my Pride for over 4 years now so thought I’d update my review. So far this car has been 100% reliable. I use it nearly every day. I replaced the original battery which lasted 9 years. The only other thing I’ve had to do is replace the rear hub/wheel bearings which started getting noisy at 30K. The bearing kits are about £15 each and can be done without a mechanics press. My local garage only charged ...
...Pride. There is KIA garage near me and there are absolutely loads of them around in my county. Despite this Haynes never produced a manual for the Pride because it was (according to them) sold in too low a number to justify the publication. I’ve bought the Haynes manual for a Mazda 323 which will cover the engine and other bits and pieces. Yes it’s a Mazda engine which means it’ll be reliable and long lasting. In fact KIA built the 121 for Mazda ...

Review of Kia Pride

this had better not be Kia's Pride

Advantages: great gas mileage
Disadvantages: discontinued, hi-cost maintenance parts

...with, and I got a Kia Pride at next to nothing (US $100). I figured what the heck. The car is a four door hatchback and mine came with a 1300cc engine, no power steering, automatic and air conditioning. Perfect for a fixer-upper quick-money-bringer. In terms of looks, you can't do much worse (if at all). This car is square - even Scion doesn't have a car this square and boxy, and this car was probably the inspiration for Nissan's cube. Inside, ...
...Also, this car comes from Kia and this model is no longer manufactured - whether as that style or as another car under the same name. Translation - discontinued model means no more OEM parts from Kia, which means that you would have to go looking for substitute sub-standard replacement parts. However, I must give credit to my local Kia dealer - even though they no longer supported the car, she did make it a point to help me locate substitute parts ...
