I too have a Magentis and I think it is great. I have two luxury Euros too and the Kia stacks up well. Never a problem, excellent economy, cheap to maintain and never a bother. People are amazed when they check out the car. I have had the word “classy” thrown at me quite a few times when people describe the car. I think it is the Dark Red Wine Metallic paint that does it….Great Car and I am very happy…I find the car is fun to drive too…and as I am in car clubs I do enjoy competitive driving!

I have owned a 2006 Kia Magentis V6 for a year (bought as a demo with 10,000kms for $24000) and have been a totally satisfied owner.
I do a mix of city and country driving and get excellent economy in both (better than my 4-cyl Volvo). The car is a very pleasant suprise on twisty roads and eats up the freeways in a quiet and relaxed manner. I always arrive relexed and with no aches or pains.
It’s exceptionally roomy and it’s nice to have all the safety gear as standard.
I’ve been a car nut since the 1960s but have always had an eye for value. I am totally satisfied that this has been the best value car available over the past 2 years.
I think KIA is a very progressive and ambitious carmaker and will suprise many in future. I will certainly buy KIA again.

I’m hearing and experienced that Kia is not a very well made car with below par quality, especialy the Rio models my friend bought a one, lemon written all over it and the dealer didn’t want anything to do with him, also the carnival people mover have problems with eg. engine’s, stereo’s, door’s, gearbox’s etc too much going on here, Kia do a very good job keeping warranty issue’s tight lipped, manufactura’s Kia, Daewoo now called (holdenwoo) will always be on the back foot they will never have QA standards or innovation like european or japan made car’s for me to have a KIA parked in my garaged would embarrass and uninspire me to death.. two words DONT BOTHER

My wife and I are delighted with our Kia Magentis. Like many others I would never have thought of giving Kia a second glance until I sat in the Magentis at the Melbourne Motor Show and subsequently test drove one. It is an excellent car. Quiet, responsive, easy to handle, comfortable and extremely well appointed for the price. It is clear Kia want to follow in the footsteps of the Japanese and build a reputation for quality and excellence. There was a time when Honda was considered poor quality. I thoroughly recommend the purchase of a Kia Magentis.

To me, the Magentis looks like what Toyota would come up with if asked to produce an ‘American luxury sedan’.

Which means a) it will probably appeal to Yanks and b) it will probably appeal to all those who listed their former car as a Toyota Cressida.

Actually, on second thought it looks like a parody of a car. Like an in-joke. Though, to be quite fair, only the headlights, wing mirrors, wheel covers and rear window rake really let the car down. Some more cosmetic tweaking and it should look quite the neat package. And Kia has often been the one to quitely impress…

Johnno, it’s good to see another satisfied owner. It makes you laugh when you see other makes broken down on the roadway while you drive by in your Kia. I have the “When are you buying a Holden” story at work. I just remind them what I drive when I hear there’s is in for a service.
Trust me mate, the Magentis is a great car. I have had no problems with it and it gets looked at every where I take it. People don’t believe it’s a KIA when they actually look at it.
