terrible defroster. Turning it on actually fogs up the windshield sometimes. It takes forever to clear windshield. windshield washer solution often freezes on contact so driver cannot see. Large blind spots in front and back that totally hide a car or a person. Pulling out is dangerous; it has very slow pick-up, especially if starting on a hill or pulling out in traffic. Tires spin on wet roads, similar to a Honda. Headlights do not automatically turn off when engine turns off. The only indicator is a tiny light on the dashboard screen that can be hidden by the steering wheel (no beep). Dashboard lights up even when headlights are not turned on; one has to be careful to remember that headlights are not on at dusk, even though dash is lit up. I find this to have been a dangerous car for an older person to use. I dislike this car very much, but, of course, its resale value is so much less than purchase price. Update: The windshield freezing up might be due to RainX. Everything else is the same. The car so far is reliable and runs well. New more expensive tires helped with traction.

Kia is reasonably priced and a great family vehicle. Not paying for bells and whistles, but not sacrificing quality or comfort

Not sure why Kia ended up the reliable category. My 2017 Kia Forte is full of issues. The recall about ignition coil was covered by Kia, but at 40,000 miles the alternator went bad. Wind nose is very loud. I should have bought a Toyota Corolla instead. Maybe other Kia cars Ok, but based on my experience, I do not recommend Kia to others. If you want a peace of mind, Kia is not the brand you should be looking for.
