Great economy car

I bought my Kia with 170k miles in may and so far have 180k miles, with that I had my brakes fixed and a new battery, but I mean the previous owner sure wore it out which is fine every car needs work, the car kinda makes a ticking noise when it's running. The sound system is beautiful though for a 2010. But the car door sounds like metal when you close it but no biggy - 4.0
Very reliable car

I bought this car new in 2010. I have changed the oil and break pads regularly. I have not had any trouble where I have had to take it to a garage. One of the most dependable cars I have ever owned.
