Too noisy

After reading about the Seltos I was eagee to test drive one. I have a 2016 Kia Soul + with 37000 miles and have been very impressed with Kia. The soul has no squeaks or rattles or had any major issues at all. Our daughter it's getting too tall for the back seat so we're looking to upsize our ride. The quality of the Seltos appeared to be the same as my Soul. It wasn't until I test drove it that I became severely disappointed. Right off the lot the road noise was horrible. I drove it down the highway a city street and a country road at speeds up to 55 MPH. This dealer only has the one Seltos and the poor sales person completely deflated when I told her the road noise was a deal-breaker. To put the noise level in perspective let me tell you this: I am an appliance repair Tech and I drive a cargo van all week long. The Seltos was almost as noisy as riding in the van.

I have had my seltos for 2 weeks now and it definitely is a head turner. People want to know what it is...complete strangers. Love all the added safety features too. Affordable and a sharp whip.

What good is a warranty?

I own a 2021 KIA Seltos paid in full with 25649 miles. It broke down 1/9/23. I still don’t have an honest answer when it will be fixed. The new transmission has been on site (I’m told) since 1/20/23.
