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.

Other than UVO not available in my state is the only issue at this time. Only 2400 miles so I will report later. Not a minivan edmunds. It is a MVP. 3/16/22: KIA does not allow MA 2022 model year owners to have UVO. Oil change (full synthetic ) required at 8,000 miles and then every 4,000. ???? Overheard dealer telling 22,000 mile customer that KIA may not be responsible for "cause of engine noise" because customer could not prove all oil changes done. Bought the top off the line carnival MPV (not minivan according to KIA) and still finding new things to play with. Changed backlight for buttons from blue to purple and can not figure out how to change. No one at KIA dealerships know.

Close but no match for Chevy Astro Van

I’m still driving my 2004 Chevy Astro Van in search of a replacement. I thought I found it with this KIA. Alas, as I did the build I could not add a roof rack on the model with the removable/flattened seats. You could only get the roof rack with jumbo premium seat package. Nuts!! Anyway my search continues for a van with maximum vertical interior storage, maximum length storage (i.e., no bulky console) so I can run 10’ lumber right up middle, AWD so I don’t launch van along with boat I tow with great tow package and lastly can pack kids in it when I need to. KIA, wake up!! You need to allow your van to be configured to allow maximum interior and exterior storage like the Astro.

Just bought one yesterday in the SX trim and it's worth 6 hours of driving to get it because it's definitely an amazing car!
