MOTOR ISSUES....DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
This was a great vehicle up until the motor blew in the vehicle after having it for a few years. Couldn't get the car fixed because the motor alone would have costed me $4,000, even though there was a nationwide recall on over 400,000 KIA vehicles for motor issues that could cause the vehicle to catch fire. So now the car is just a sporty looking beauty sitting in my driveway broken but paid in full. I refuse to sell it for the $1000 the are offering for it!!

Great car, great value.
I bought my car new in 2014 and except for regular service, new tires and brake pads no other service has been needed. Even after 9 years in the hot Florida sun the paint still looks great and the A/C is ice cold. For a small car the ride is very comfortable, even on long trips. The steering is very responsive and it corners like a dream. The interior is well designed and spacious and everything is within easy reach. This car is so well built that even with 95,000 miles on the odometer there are no squeaks or rattles. The mileage is still good for a 9 year old car. It gets about 25 in town and 30 on the highway. The seats are are very comfortable and supportive. I’m 6 feet tall and 210 pounds but I never feel cramped, even when my son, who is about the same height and weight as me ride together. This is a great car and I couldn’t recommend it more.

Worth Every Penny
Great used buy for me 2 years ago. Roomy inside for its compact exterior dimensions. The extended wheelbase made that happen. Impressive acceleration for 2.0L! The low speed maneuverability (parking) is an exceptional joy. Hot and unique looking-when everyone else's compact is a Civic or Corolla <yawn>. Jittery over bumps/potholes; the solid rear suspension makes the rear hop! Occasional rough idle so rare it's not often enough to take to the garage. The only glaring negative was the anemic rear speaker output. Didn't know that newer car mfg actually "choke off" rear freq response on some models. Took a while and hundred$ to find the lone stereo shop to inform me and correct externally. All's good now. During OH winters, the power windows often freeze in the up position. I'm moving south this wknd to correct that. After perusing details @this web site, mine is a loaded EX.
