Enchanting Starlight!

First, it is eye catching and stunning to look at! My SX-Turbo is starlight yellow and black and the compliments are amazing! It stands out from any other small SUV out there. It is fully loaded and under $30K, with every safety and infotainment features. The interior room compares size wise to the CX-5 with double the amount of storage as my Mazda CX-3! It is fun to drive! My salesman,Frank M., at Smithtown Kia was awesome in finding the one I was looking for. So happy we bought this car! Absolutely love, love it!

I’ve had my Seltos EX for 10 months and 9000 trouble free miles.I like the many safety features And Apple CarPlay. I keep the rear seats down to provide a comfortable space in the cargo area for my spoiled wiener dog. The 2.0L 146 HP has performed surprisingly well on long trips from AZ to Louisiana. So far my dog and I like this little SUV.

Loving my first “Big Girl” purchase

I was in the process of preparing to buy my first car and had been doing some research on smaller SUV’s. I constantly found myself coming back to the Seltos. Decided to finally go and test drive one and instantly fell in love. The amount of room and space is amazing! Plenty of leg room in the front and back, and lots of head space in the back seats. The truck was the perfect size for my good clubs, plus extra things I might need. I am LOVING the touchscreen, my Seltos comes with an 8” screen and is plenty big enough. I ended up going with the AWD S trim for the extra safety features and they come in handy every time I drive. I especially enjoy the lane-assist and the fact that it lets me know when the car in front of me starts to move when I’m stopped. I’ve some reviews about a lot of noise in the cabin when driving on freeways; that is not the case for me. Was set on getting the yellow body/black roof exterior color, but left with the Mars Orange instead, it looks sooo much better in person. If you’re on the fence about purchasing a Seltos, I’d give it 2 thumbs up. I’ve only had mine for 2 weeks and I don’t have enough good things to say about it!

Seltos great, dealership shady, slipped in an expensive extended warranty that did not need, basis warranty is sufficient
