The car is the right size for me. It has Sirius XM which I definitely enjoy. It is rides very smoothly. It has great mileage especially when driving long distances and even good mileage in city traffic. Another feature I really like and need is the ability to raise the driver's seat since I am fairly short.
I really love our vehicle. However, in the state of Texas, I would suggest buying a truck. A lot of roads flood and our little car cannot always handle flooding. The car is comfortable and very reliable. Purchasing it was a quick and easy experience for my husband. This was our second car purchase with Kia.
I bought the car last week, so I really just have user reviews to go by. Everything I read said that this was a great car, that performs very well. The interior is nice, but my wife and I have trouble understanding the dashboard sometimes. We still are not sure what our mileage started at.
