Feels like a luxury car.

Easy to drive, love the safety features (lane indicator, blind spot vehicle detection, cruise control safety (if car cuts me off or vehicle ahead slows down), and that's just the beginning!

Best Car Deal in the Deseret

I absolutely love this car. It is the first car purchased new since 1980. The transaction was painless and easy. I bought this car off the showroom floor and have no regrets. I live in the desert area where it it well over 100. With the air conditioning seats it makes it possible to be out in the heat and be comfortable. This car had everything I ever wanted and/or needed. Love it!!! The sales person I had was an incredible lady which made it more fun, easy and with a lot of laughs,

First time Kia owner

Beautiful car! But with all the options I can't believe home link is not on this car. I haven't owned a car in years that didn't have this feature. I really can't give an accurate review since I only own this car for five days. One last thing more storage compartments would be an asset.

Best value car I've had

It's a nice car!

This car meets my needs i.e. for commuting; it's reliable and has good gas mileage. Since I'm not a car aficionado, the main things that I wanted are covered, and it was in my price range. I am particular about payment options, so I wanted zero percent financing, which was offered. In addition, the deal includes no money down, and no payment for 2 months. So I am very pleased with my purchase.
