Car suddenly lost power, took it to the dealer that stated it was low on oil, my fault. There were no warning lights about low oil, never saw black smoke. Same issue recalled on same car with different engine. Being told it probably needs a new engine at 39000 miles and my extended warranty won’t cover it due to not having required number of oil changes. Do yourself a favor and buy any other brand!

Gray Ghost Seltos S fwd 2.0

Got him in march, only have 1200 miles because of Corona virus and I am a caregiver. I feel he's more than adequate in all areas for my personal tastes. Would have loved electric adjustment seats and a cargo cover of some sort but I like privacy tint in its place. Acceleration is pretty good, ride is ok too. Some types road surface do let the sound in but that's just the way it is sometimes. Unfortunately nobody has really been in it as it sits in the garage alot, for now.... Did real good on the Eldorado Hills grade and second hill too. Like the infotainment system it is a little finicky with my phone plugged into and on android auto mode tho. Like the looks yoo, wheels looks awsome.

Senior Moment

There are many things I like about this car. Stylish, safety features, and decent gas mileage. The biggest disappointment is the herky-jerky starts up to about 10 mph. Holding the accelerator steady the car surges, back off, surges until a constant speed on 10 or so mph is achieved. Also, at initial start up, a sound is omitted from the engine bay that is worrisome. My dealership says both are related to the 7 speed DCT automatic transmission. I'm not totally convinced.....in any event not happy. Personally, I don't care for the synthetic faux leather seats. They feel and look rubbery, not easy to slide into or out of. The cargo area is OK but the cargo cover (unless removed) makes it difficult to load without banging your forehead on the cover. I would recommend Kia have a permanent "kill" switch for the engine turn off (at stops/idle) in lieu of having to do that each start up (it automatically defaults) to "on." As a senior citizen, I wouldn't recommend this vehicle.
