Kia 1.4L Manual - Reliable & Great Runner A very reliable and economical car with a smooth 1.4L manual engine. Starts and drives great, ideal for both new drivers and daily commuting. It's in good mechanical condition and has never let me down. As expected for its age, it has a few small bumps and scratches, but nothing that affects the performance. Overall, a solid and trustworthy car that's ready to go.
