Goldilocks is pleased!
I was looking for a small SUV, but one with decent cargo space. Bigger SUV's were out of my price range and all the sub-compacts were too small. I was looking for a decent size crossover and I found it in the Seltos. It's got the room i was looking for, a nice ride, AWD, and all the accessories I need and none I don't. If you're 6'2" or above it might be cramped but other than that I it just works. So far, I love this thing. Update: with snow tires it really handled the winter conditions with no problems. I found it to be as good as my old Subaru in the snow. 4k miles in and still loving it.

Check engine
I just purchased my Seltos three weeks ago with 66 miles on it. I was happy the first few days and then my check engine light came on. Took it to dealership and they said they had to reset a recall. Here I am on week three and the check engine light is back on!!!!!!!!!!! I regret my decision already! I love the features of the vehicle but it’s not worth the inconvenience of recalls and hassle of taking it back and forth to the service department!

Love this car!
Super smooth ride for a small SUV, exceptional design and quality, very easy maintenance. Plenty of room for 4 tall adults, knockout gas mileage, very sure-footed in all normal driving conditions (I've read reviews panning this vehicle for not being an "off-roader" - not sure why anyone would even review it in that category because that's not it's purpose)

Perfection on 4 wheels
NO matter which model you buy, buy the safety pack as well. Purchased a sport+ safety pack. The first 1200 km used 6.1 liters per 100km 50/50 city and freeway driving. Smooth and quiet drive. feels so safe to drive with great height and vision. Yes, the anti-collision works well. ( My son was driving)

Great car with a lot of problems
I love this car but it's been nothing but a problem child. After 1000 miles, the AC broke. I thought it's a defective part, no worries. I saw this is pretty common in these cars. After 3300 miles, the IVT transmission broke. It's been 40 days since I gave it to service, they made it extremely complicated, hard, and were extremely rude about trying to tow/fix a transmission problem on a new car and I have heard no updates. This is absolutely the level of service you can expect and a common problem. If you like to have problems with your car and driving [non-permissible content removed] rentals for extended periods of time in the first 5 months of owning a car, BUY THE SELTOS. Otherwise, save your time and money.
