Like it's look, rich in tech and features (bought the top trim), however, after driving 4 months, experienced issues : 1) fuel indicator not accurate when below the last quarter. While driving it shows 150-ish to empty, but after parking it over night, the distance to empty became 30-ish. 2) lack of low end torque 3) check engine light came on twice in cold weather (-18c) . the light went off next day, dealer cant find out why 4) infotainment system was completely unresponsive in cold weather after a cold start but went back to normal after the car warms up.

Lot of money for basic features

We have the Carnival LX. Road noise. Driver seat is average comfort. Gauges/speedometer difficult to see behind steering wheel. No Sirus XM Radio option or navigation. Can stream music when mirroring phone but if you hit area with poor cell service you lose maps and streaming music. Will reconnect sometimes but often goes to black screen. To reconnect when service improves, you have to shut the car down / engine off and start all over. It is roomy and navigates heavy rain/water better than or Chrysler Pacifica but Pacifica was more responsive and easier to navigate entertainment system. Why no satellite radio option or back up navigation? I just don’t understand. Oh well, we are stuck with it for a long time.

I highly recommend this vehicle to everyone that is looking to purchase a minivan. The ride and comfort is excellent. The fit and finish is excellent. Everything feels and looks very modern and of high quality. I have already driven 20,000 miles without any problems. Very happy with the reliability so far.

OMG! Please give me an option to READ the transcript of your 15 minute monologue on how to find the trip computer (as an example). It literally takes like 45 seconds to get to the data. Betting no Kia employee EVER sees any of these reviews.
