We have been extremely happy with the handling, comfort and reliability of this vehicle for short or long commutes, Its a great looking vehicle with its sport interior make it pleasure to get into and drive, the convenience and ease of folding the rear seats to allow for room in the back made grocery shopping a pleasure with access through the hatchback. There's lots of room for its size and the front, side and upper airbags made you feel safe especially with the whole family along for the ride. The Kia maintenance schedule and pricing made planning for regular maintenance easy, the Kia service dept is fantastic to deal with and always on time.
