From the beginning i encountered minor problems. Some factory warranty problems and did not like getting only one FOB key. Yet that's more of a dealer issue. I drove the car 18000 miles and overall it was satisfying experience. Number one feature is the good looks and the scarcity of this SXL model. Coming from a Mercedes my son and all my friends thought i was insane to trade for a Kia. Consumer reports review was very helpful. The Turbo 2.0 was very quick as well as good on gas. The interior was well appointed including red leather seats. Enjoyed a full sunroof, large trunk and an excellent sound system. The safety features were incredible which were found on only more expensive models. The blind spot sensor saved me from potential accidents. The best safety feature was the cross rear cross traffic alert. The back up camera chimed when a car was approaching from 100 feet each way! Based on the fact that I paid $26,000 for one old car with 11,000 miles on it it was worth fixing the few minor items that were not covered by warning. Especially since i got it with virtually no money down! This rates as a great buy in a used car!

The front seats are padded and comfortable, but the bottom is not long enough to support your entire leg if you're tall (I'm 5'8")

I still love my car. It is very comfortable and stylish looking. Since my first review I have had a problem with my battery draining for no reason. The technicians cannot seem to find the problem. This has happened four times already. I have since researched this problem and it has happened to many people both with new cars and used. The ones who have bought used are stuck with the bills. Mine is still under warranty now but if it continues I will have to trade this in.
