Good bang for your buck

This car is practical and efficient, styling is nothing fancy but its functional. So far so good. But the least the could do is throw in a spare tire, which it does not come with one. S model.

Best Car I have ever owned

Very good engineered car handles amazing very comfortable all the bells and whistles. Will buy another Kia when this one is wore out. These cars get decent mileage and have plenty of power. There is lots of room even in the rear seat. Will fit 2 adults and a child very comfortable. I just absolutely love this car.

Stylish

Surprisingly comfortable, sporty and luxurious for a 4 cylinder car! Loved at first sight. No problem going long distance in this ride. The color is a perfect shade of blue.

Has the feel and look of a full size vehicle.

The car is very roomy with plenty of head and legroom. It rides very smooth and has some power. Love the options that came with the vehicle.
