I just settled on the Mandos.
Reviews of spare parts for Kia
Valvoline restore and protect is all that you can do. Best motor oil out there.
VALVOLINE RESTORE AND PROTECT AND SHORTEN OIL CHANGE INTERVAL! It will fix it!
BG makes a great flush product.
Run valveoline restore and protect for 3000 miles. Add engine oil flush before eat oil change according to their instructions repeat 4 times or more. After that continue to run valvoline restore and protect until the engine dies
Edit: dies from old age at 500k miles
Personally, I think the Kia windshields are on the thinner side. I have over 40K on my Carnival and no cracks whatsoever.
I know it’s not the model you are asking but I had a Kia Picanto and a Sportage before. Parts are damn difficult to find and it’s expensive. Steering rack seems to be a common issue for old Kia so be careful with that. Kia is a nice car to drive imo, way better than Perodua and the same generations of Toyota, just that the cost of maintaining it is not cheap since it’s also a pretty old car.
Edit: forgot to mention ECU tends to wear out for older cars so do check on this. I replaced my ECU for about 3-4k (not sure OEM or Ori) and steering rack (2k for new/OEM) even this took me months to source.
I am at 14,000 kms after 7 months I checked the tread and was at 6mm so planning to change by 20,000 miles (32,000 kms). I have already reached out to Kumho Warranty but they don't even want to try to work on something with me. I can't see myself spending $1500 to get a new set after this demonstration
I have a 2022 turbo prestige kia sorento. It's missing really bad throwing no codes. We have replaced the spark plugs putting genuine kia plugs from kia. Remedied the problem for about a month or so an here we are again!???? I'm just sick to my stomach!
