    Fun little car with plenty of tech, room, and styl

    My koup EX was bought new in 2014 and I have since racked up 245k miles on it. Only problems was I had to replace the AC compressor around 150k and water pump at 180k and an alternator somewhere between them. But ... I have driven the poor thing like a race car every day all the time. Its still running strong ! When it dies I will look for another koup with lower miles and maybe a different color, but these cars have earned my respect!

    I really like everything about the car so far.

    I think it is sporty but practical and I like the lines of the car and all the features. It is nice to have a car that I know will be dependable but also is pleasant to drive.

    Best Value and Reliable, no issues ever

    Best Car I've ever owned. So much fun to drive and super affordable for the features. This car definitely turns heads. Largest coupe in its class, surprisingly large on the inside. Once you test drive it you will fall in love.

    unbelievable quality and performance

    The kIA BRAND BARELY REGISTERED ON MY RADAR UNTIL I DROVE SEVERAL AT THE DEALERSHIP.. I HAD BEEN A FAN OF THE BMW 3 SERIES. THE KIA TURBO SPORTS KOUP REALLY SURPRISED ME WITH ITS BUILD QUALITY, DESIGN, AND PERFORMANCE. 500 POUNDS LIGHTER THAN THE BMW, I THOUGHT THE KIA WAS AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN THE BMW IN EVERY WAY BUT STEERING FEEL OWING TO KIA'S FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. AT ALMOST HALF THE PRICE OF THE BIMMER, THE KIA KOUP WAS A FANTASTIC BARGIN. I BOUGHT IT ON THE SPOT AND JUST LOVE IT!
