Nice Little Sports Sedan

Exact handling and tight suspension make this car a curve-carver. Overall, we've been pleased with the car, but it's not nearly as smooth and pothole-complaint as our Sonata. Kia has had a couple of recalls on the car, but nothing major. Our AC compressor crashed and sent metal through the system. But Kia was happy to replace the whole system free.

Dissappointing

The quality of the vehicle is poor in my opinion. While the outside was what originally attracted me to the vehicle, the inside is very cheap and the car rattles a good amount. It gets pretty good gas mileage, and I have not had any major engine problems yet, but I am disappointed in the vehicle.

best car for my family

Hello this is the best car I owned a had many new ones but this car I bought it use with very low miles I have the sxturbo and is great on running anywhere you go, trip commute or business. the only bad thing is the tires are to hard and you can feel everything but the car itself is reliable for any occasion .
