So far so good.

So far so good. Will see if it holds up. Has good pick up for a small car. Would rather have key start rather than keyless start.

Excellent value

I was a little surprised to be honest as to how nice this car is. It looks great, has nice features, it's roomy, and drives quite nice. Also you can't beat the warranty.

Most reliable car I?ve owned

This car is absolutely wonderful! Not only does it have a beautiful interior, it also has all of the accessories I could ever ask for! Bluetooth, cruise control, buttons to control everything on the steering wheel, and so much more! The outside of the car is also very, very nice!!! I recommend this car to anyone that is looking for a reliable and efficient vehicle!

I've had my new car for 3 weeks and I love it!

My car is black with black and grey interior. I drive 1 hour to work and back each day and is enjoying the commute. It's very comfortable, lots of leg room and very good on gas.

A great car for the price!

I love my car so much! It is soo great on gas. It takes $30 to fill it up all the way, and that will last for about 380 miles. Which means for me, I fill it up Sunday, and it lasts all the way until next week?s Wednesday. It is very efficient and I love it. The only thing that would have made it better is having the touch screen display. I would also just say that Kia cars, are typically touchy on the brakes and gas, so if you are heavy footed, just be aware.
