Iam just advicing any body that want wants to buy any Kia product to make out time to ask people who have been using the brands to advice him or her before embacking on the purchase, but for me it is a substandard product that SON should come in and put them on track or face them out of Nigeria until quality is met,

what they called warranty is rather an extortion

I know that anything goes in Nigeria, but time has come for Nigeria to start saying no to all these substandard products infitrating into the country.

iam talking with experience

Thats a big lie. I have been using Kia carens 2009 model for close to two years now and its perfect. its so superb. powerful engine and has never had a single fault since purchase. what experience are u talking from?

Oya! over to you 24volts! substantiate your claims please!

My dear may be your own spec of kia is USA or german spec, but if you read my info clearly it is strickly on what they called brand new cars entering this country.

if you want to know more of what iam saying visit any of the kia service centers and interview all the customers there, iam sure you will be convinced.

this is more predominant in KIA OPTIMA, CERATO, PICANTO, SPORTAGE , I have 100% experience with these cars

good bye

My Cerato is perfect. Two years next month. Over 35,000 km.

Hi Guys,
Let us not give information that are not true. that a brand of car could not perform well with you is not enough reason to tag that brand as bad. when buying a car, what do you have or hope to acheive. is it high torque/power or fuel economy. most kia car are in the fuel economy range and not for towing caravans. my friend has been using rio (bought new) for 5yrs now and it is still very clean.
Fellow Nairalanders, lets not just yan.

I own a KIA Optima 2008 model. No issues 3 years now. Also Own a Honda CIVIC 2007 model, 4 years now. Have been having issues with the Engine in the past 6 months. All were bought brand new. It is important to note that because a car gave you issues, is not sufficient reason to write off the brand. I love Kia and Honda. Both have performed very satisfactorily and the Optima and Civic have comparable performance levles.

GBAM!!! End of discussion!

This is exactly why I love Nairaland!

There is no amount of justification you guys we make here that we change my opinion about KIA cars, I  started with sportage, the same year I bought it I bought 2009/2010 OPTIMA and what I noticed in OPTIMA especially is suspension problem, especially on a typical Nigeria rough road, the kind of noise you will be hearing is so irritating.

I stand on my claims, the same goes to my Sportage, that one is the worst,

The worst is that the quality of service they give in their service center is ZERO, be rest assured that the problem with which you took you  car to KIA is going home with you.

they have worked on my Spotage and Optima for over 3 year now but head way

MY Child hood friend bought this latest Cerato , last Sunday when he visited me , he was complaining bitterly about the kind of noise he is hearing in his suspensions

Guys a word is enough for the wise

my Lexus cheap, which I bought in annoyance due to the KIA wahala , has never give me a cause to regret


those who have ear let them hear, 

what of what they called warranty ? it is an extortion not warranty.
