Seller’s notes about this car

This car has a fantastic four door sedan that has surpassed our expectations with good interior size, interior/exterior styling and color combination, good gas mileage (around 30 mpg avg, and interior space - a true value since we purchase the vehicle from Hertz in 2017 (2nd Owner). The vehicle has had routine maintenance with New Tires End at the end of 2024. Car has been well cared for and mileage has mainly been on the highway. Usual wear and tear on the vehicle, but please take notice of the pictures showing. This vehicle would make an ideal first car or someone looking for a good value in their next car choice. We have not had a trouble passing CA Smog tests and vehicle registration and insurance have been reasonable.

@Gonzalo from San Bernardino, I had the same window

September 28, 2025
By Tommarci from Orlando, FL
Used to own this car

@Gonzalo from San Bernardino, I had the same window issues and Kia wanted $600 per door assembly. I ended up getting replacement pulleys on ebay and replaced all of them. They all had the same pulley material problem. Then it was the camera, the wheel sensors, burning oil, blah blah blah ...

To many issues, lots of factory recalls.

Owns this car

To many issues, lots of factory recalls. The window motor and assembly goes out. Costly repair. Waiting on recall for this. All 4 windows are broken on this car and one on my Kia Sorento. Over all, poor quality vehicle, not reliable, costly repairs. Will never buy a Kia again.

KIA KNOWS there is a major oil consumption/ burn PROBLEM.

February 1, 2025
By PMB from Daytona Beach, FL
Owns this car

KIA KNOWS there is a major oil consumption/ burn PROBLEM. But, will not address it unless the engine seizes up (even during high speed driving). I'm a 68 yr old woman & you're putting in danger. Then tow & may not even get the codes you want to replace the engine....all the band-aid work has been ridiculously expensive & not fixed any of the Problem. SHAME ON YOU KIA !!!!
