The Bluetooth capabilities are good. Smooth ride. Not very many problems over several years. Regular maintenance is all that is needed usually. The cloth seats have held up well, does not stain or tear easily.
The features and the way the interior is set up really has the driver in mind (comfortable seats, easy controls, etc.) I have also not had major problems with the vehicle requiring extensive maintenance, just replacing coolant, battery, wipers, tires, etc.
Reliable and built well and solid. It rides good and is comfortable. It is easy on tires and gets good gas mileage. Body style is something I like. I even like the color. Built solid. Has a good ride. Comfortable.
Good on gas. Nice look and interior. Cheap upkeep and wonderful mileage. And a great price. Good sound system. Nice paint job. Surprisingly spacious. Convertible seating. Good mileage again. Great tires.
The car is reliable. I have never had any major issues with it as far as maintenance is concerned. It is very affordable. And the car also looks nice, good shape and nice interior. I really like Kia cars because of their affordability.
Doesn't read or respond to text messages. The cloth seats got one small tear in the seam. The speakers on one side do not sound as well as they used to. The trunk could be a little bigger. The gas tank could be bigger than it is.
I have had to replace the tail lights and headlights a few times; one bulb will go so I just go ahead and replace both. I do not know of anyone else who has to replace their bulbs that often. The bug guard I paid extra to have installed also does not add a whole lot; I still get bugs under and above where the guard covers.
When backing up, it is hard to see into the blind spots. It is more of a leap of faith sometimes. A bit too much road noise but it is tolerable. I am a bit older so it can be difficult getting in and out due to it sitting low to the ground. Not a real problem.
It is kind of slow. It has bad ignition. Does not start at the first time all the time. Has an emotion issue. Not great on goo. Does a subpar job on speed and gear transfer. Other than that it is a fine automobile.
It is very small. Not enough room to comfortable fit an infant car seat and more than one passenger. I have to keep the car seat behind the driver's seat otherwise I wouldn't be able to have a passenger sit up front with me.
