Just purchased nearly new 2021 Kia Seltos.

Very nice looking car. Leg room seems better for passenger than driver. No complaints on how the turbo or transmission work. All good. Love the car I've only had 2 days. Very numerous safety features will actuallly help me become a better driver. I won't be riding the left or right sides of the lane anymore because of the lane assist, and I can easily learn how to drive in the center of the lane by using it. Love the blind side monitoring that actually beeps at you if you are about to make a mistake. Like also the cross traffic alert when reversing. This is the safest vehicle I have ever owned, by far.

I've only had the car one week.

The car has a lot of features, it's kind of overwhelming at first but Kia has a lot of videos to explain all the features.

Good car with problems

Brand New 2021 with paint issues that the dealer at Laurel Ford Lincoln will not address. Have been ignored since November 2020 when I bought it. I keep getting put off as if it is not important and treated as if the factory defect in the paint is my fault. Otherwise the car is good.

Fun to drive

I love driving this seltos with the turbo. It looks sharp, drives great and was a great value for what the seltos offers. There’s no buyers remorse here.

First car in 12 years

This car is just ok. I chose the LX model which is the basic package. The seats are spacious both front and rear. Things I don’t like, only 2 proper cup holders, the front windshield wipers the lowest speed is too fast so if it’s drizzling out you have to keep turning the wipers on then turn them off. The trunk is not spacious. There was no option to get leather seats unless upgrading to a different model. And no back seat pockets for storage.
