The Best Car I’ve Ever Owned!!!

Fell head over hills when I first saw this suv and she hasn’t disappointed me at all! I get so many compliments about her and me in her!! Lol that’s why I had to go find her else we’re not matter I was going to get a replacement of the one I bought in November and I got an even better one like my first pick. I’m a very Happy Customer with Peak Kia of Colorado Springs.

Quick and fun to drive

I purchased the 2021 Kia Seltos SX Turbo. I’ve put just over 1000 miles on it in 5 days. I’ve consistently driven in Sport mode with mostly Highway (and with some thick traffic congestion) miles. The only true Con I have for this vehicle is the stiff jolt the vehicle occupants get when going over deep potholes and particularly bad speed bumps. The front end seems to have little to no shock absorbers. It’s ridiculous. But that aside; this car has excellent responsiveness to driver demands, a very intuitive driver assistance package, a great sound system, comfortable seating all seating positions, great gas mileage (even in the thirsty Sport mode), and last but not least it is very easy on the eyes (all my neighbors have come to look at it in my driveway and have been quite taken with it visually).

Rides smooth and its reliable for road trips

The vehicle has everything I need for an enjoyable day trip or a long weekend getaway. There's room for others or room for just my items. It rides smoothly which is much needed

This will be our last Kia

This was our 4th new Kia, 6th Kia overall, and it will likely be our last. The power, handling and ride are all as expected - decent car for the money. The huge fail with this car was niceties. The fake leather is not worth the money. A sunglasses holder is simple, but not having one is a bigger problem than you'd think. Losing Sirius XM is bad, but the way the communications/entertainment system is set up now is awful - the requirement of using Android Auto has made those nice features impossible to use because that app is constantly changing settings for no apparent reason. Hands-free calling is a myth in this car. We're actually considering trading the car off with less than 3000 miles, and we sure won't be going to the same dealership - they brushed off our concerns, screwed up paying off our trade in, and failed to give us what they promised.

SO comfortable, so sexy!!!

Most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven! Love all the safety features, the infotainment system is amazing, and the styling is so damn sexy. Initial acceleration is a bit laggy, but once the turbo kicks in it's very fast.

Car in the shop after only having it a month, and

Loved the car. Look wise and things was beautiful. After a month of owning it, wouldn’t engage in to gear. Dealership has had it for three weeks and still no idea what’s wrong with it.
