Traded it for a Subaru!

Pros: 1 This car is very up-to-date with interior tech. It cane with some standard safety features and wireless apple carplay. 2. It was VERY roomy, I could fit so many work equipment or Costco family groceries for a whole month's worth. 3.The MPG is actually higher than what the specs specified. Cons: 1. It handles SO POORLY! I can't take a small curve at more than 20mph. People behind me would get upset. 2. The car can only handle around 800lbs of weight inside the car. We were around 4 people in car once and the car struggled to accelerate. 3. Maintenance is hard to do by yourself. I hate the oil dipstick. It is not making it clear how much oil is in the car. 4. Less than 10000 miles and the car sounded like an old diesel engine. Apparently its not a reliable engine. You can see the poor built quality under the hood. Conclusion: This car is decent in the city and its driving style. If you plan on driving on highways and country roads often, this is not the car. Its not a comfortable or practical ride for longer distances. I traded it for a Subaru Forester!

Just what I was looking for

Bought the sx model 2 months ago. I Wanted a small commuter suv. This thing is so nice and has everything. My wife thinks it’s the best looking sub compact. We got the Deep Ocean Blue with light Gray interior. Getting 33 plus mpg but I drive like an oldster. That’s because I am one. Needed the sx to get all the goodies I wanted. The EX would have been fine too because I don’t need the turbo. But, the deal was good. We traded in our 2015 Rogue.

I bought my seltos 2022 2 month ago and was completely fine , up until I started hearing noise from my passenger sear not sure if the seat it self or just wiring it’s like ticking and it come and goes , also when I close my door I also hear noise coming from back , took it to Kia dealership and said there is nothing wrong with it , regarding features not bad comparing to other brands in the market

Junk

My wife and I test drove the Kia Seltos SX Turbo (Brand New). I tell you this thing is junk, it rides rough, shakes like it's about to break down. I quickly brought it back to the dealer and told them it was junk and we won't be purchasing the vehicle. Don't do it to yourself. You can find a better small SUV elsewhere that has durability.
