Hi guys,

Would like to solicit your opinion about Kia Pregio as I'm keen on getting a 2001 model. Any inputs or comments regarding this vehicle is highly appreciated. Thanks very much!

I remember during college (mga '98) riding a friend's Pregio along Clark Airbase' highway. We heard a loud thud all of a sudden and yun pala, nahulog yung underchassis cover na made of rubber. And that time, halos bago pa yung Pregio nya.

Dunno if quality has improved alot since then

Our company has a AT Pregio. I forgot if its a 2001 or 2002 model. So far ok naman except for a lot of minor quirks and problems. As far as i know, we already changed the rear shock bushings, alternator, power steering and aircon belt. We also replaced the alternator pulley and had a water plug fall off resulting into overheat.

Another irritating thing about it is when it rains, the belts squeak a lot. I suspect they get wet from water spray from the wheels.

FC have not computed pero matipid naman. Roomy can sit 10 adults pero hirap na ang makina.

Thanks guys for the replies. Would appreciate more opinions as I'm seriously considering selling my Adventure GLS Sport 2002 in exchange for this van as I need the extra space and money.

i sold my pregio 2000 RS 2.7l m/t local version last year for 235k. ok naman ung power nya, sarap din ride hindi matagtag,tipid din sa diesel madaling i-ipihit khit masikip ung area. napilitan akong ibenta kci nagsimula na magbigay ng sakit ng ulo like...

1. alternator-6k including installation
2. Battery-naapektuhan ng alternator forgot ung price si erpat bumili eh but
motolite cya na enduro yata na maintenance free.
3. aircon-15k full service including new compressor(sanden dual), expansion
valve, etc. ok cya for a few months but after that init nanaman.
-walang tutok ung vent sa 1st row.
4. side silding door...5k pinalitan na namin lahat ng dapat palitan but still
makalampag at maingay pa rin nagrereklamo si wife and kids ko di
makatulog sa biyahe.
5. windows both sides(except driver/passenger side)...500 petot
tumutulo pag-umuulan...2 clip lang cya both side each window kaya
pag nagvibrate dahil sa lubak madaling lumuwag at maalis ung
silicon...solution ng mechanic ko makapal na silicon additional 2 clips
sa top portion na made of thick G.I. sheet to give more support sa
window.
6. speed-100kph lang ako pwedeng mag-stay...more than that 3/4 ang
temp ko...sbi ng mechanic ko palit radiator na mas malaki.

within 3 months time lang po yang gastos ko kya ibinenta ko na sakit na ng bulsa ko.

2nd owner po ako when i bought it last aug 2005. at first po ok cya walang problema sarap gamitin super lamig A/C. last sept 2006 nagsimula na cyang nagkasakit sunod-sunod kya ibinenta ko. brand new po cya nabili ng 1st owner from KIA-san fernando and family use lang. may CASA record pa po na kasama...when i bought the unit hindi gaanong gamit kci maraming sasakyan sa garahe ng kinuha ko. wala daw gumagamit dhil may kanya-kanyang mga sasakyan silang lahat sa family at obvious namn kci CRV, civic, Fort, New Hi-Ace and altis ang nasa garahe nila.

di lang po ako naka-experience ng ganito sir may mga tropa akong may pregio din na same ang naging problema kya ibinenta din nila.

additonal po...ung side panel sa loob ng pregio madaling umangat or lumobo.

based lang po ito sa experienced ko...i love my PREGIO but kailangan nang bitawan talaga.
