fyi, about external keys...

this car is quiet and has PLENTY of get up and go ! One big cool feature that the rear seats fold down with push of a button, and is big enough to sleep in. we bought a few months from Carmax only things I don't like: * drivers electric seat is slow * headrests stick out and feel odd * bells and whistles are too smart... the doors can't be unlocked while driving. **The main negative is there is ONLY ONE external key lock.. on drivers size, that means ONLY ONE door can be opened manually. also, the special lazer cut key is VERY expensive to copy. between $50 to $80. key fob can be expensive also to replace. otherwise, we like it.

Very spacious - enjoy driving it

I enjoy driving this car. It is comfortable and spacious. The price was pretty much the same price I paid on my Ford Escape but I got more in this car as far as nice leather interior and updated gadgets and more space that my 10 y/o car did not have. It also drives better and handles curves better than my last car too. Now, in our extreme Carolina heat, I notice that it seems to lose some of its power. And I had the door handle come off in my hand when I went to open the door. It is all plastic and apparently not really good strong plastic. Again, maybe the heat melted it? After speaking to a friend about the door handle, she tells me the same thing happened to her son on his Kia Optima. Would I buy another Kia? We’ll see. The car is 3 y/0 now... so time will tell.

Lease Return used car

I would never have considered the SX trim level as a new car, but as a Lease Return used car, it fit into my budget and I drove the car home. I have only had the car for three weeks, but I am very satisfied and pleased with my decision.

Beautiful car!

Exceptional quality for the price! Beautiful burgundy with tan leather interior. Automatic tail gate and camera systems are great features. Carmax was great to work with too.
