Good cheap sporty car

Lots of options for the price. Easy and cheap maintenance. Had no issues with this vehicle. Good on gas, aggressive looking exterior, well designed interior.

Great Car!

If I hadn?t needed more car seat room, I would still own this car. I loved everything about it. Fuel economy was great. Leg space in the back was pretty surprising. Cargo area was adequate for most needs, as I had the Forte5. It was comfortable for long trips. The brand does really well meeting or exceeding standard and/or add on features of domestic vehicles at what seems like a more affordable price.

New car to me but love it

So far it is swell. I just need to figure out all the fancy gadgets out. I heard Kia is a reliable brand and my family has owned a few.

Car i currently own

This car is great, the maintenance needs are low. It runs very well if you get oil changes regularly and i love that the gas holds up well being that it?s eco friendly

Sporty, fun to drive first car

I have always driven trucks, but decided to get something different this time. This little car is so fun to drive and it has all the bells and whistles, not to mention the mpg is excellent!!

Its good for what its worth

Ive owned this vehicle 3 years so far and have run into problems occasionally. The good news is Kia has the 100,000 mile warrantee so most the things that go wrong get fixed for free. The biggest thing that went wrong was my gas gage. One day it just went from fill to empty..... i thought i had a hole in my gas tank since i had just filled up. Turns out it was just a problem with a sensor. Dash lights flicker occasionally. Paint chipped on the hood within the first year. But it is not a very expensive car so ill take it... for now.

Most reliable car I?ve owned so far.

I am satisfied with this car so far. I haven?t had any mechanical issues yet. It is comfortable for short rides. The suspension rides smooth.
