"Since I bought it slightly used, I've not done anything to the vehicle other than required maintenance. It's been a very reliable mode of transportation to me, with quality of its design showing through each passing year."

"This SUV handles great, is so easy to park, has less road noise than any other SUV of it's size that I've driven or been a passenger in. No problems aside from the lights burning out way too frequently."

"I use my Kia for work and put a lot of miles on it. I have had only 2 issues since owning it and they were both fixed under warranty. The car handles well in all weather and I have never been stuck in it. It rides and handles very nice and the cargo room is amazing for a smaller SUV. I don't think there is much that I have not been able to carry. This is definitely a vehicle that I would purchase again."

"I like the way the car looks and drives. It gets horrible gas mileage. It has a few mechanical problems, i.e. the reverse light does not come on and it has trouble backing up. The check engine light has also came on recenty. O/w it is a nice little car. The leather smells bad in the warmer months."
