Are Kia Reliables after 100k?

Wife's 2002 Optima now has 102,000 on it. Other than preventative
maintenance, we have never put a penny in it. Love the car.

My 2000 Kia Sportage just turned over 200,000 last week with regular
oil changes and normal repairs. It has been a great little car for
work and for road trips.

If you don't know the maintenance history, make the investment to
change the timing belt. It could break between 60,000 and 90,000
miles and if it does, you throw away the engine!
