A lot of road noise. Especially with winter tires. Guess thats why the salesman had the A/C blasting and tje radio on loud.

Avoid if you have vertigo/motion sickness issues

Unfortunately, I had to sell this almost immediately after purchasing it, because it was making me sick. I have a vertigo issue due to a brain injury, and for the first time ever, driving a vehicle triggered my vertigo. I haven't experienced this as the driver of a vehicle before, only as the passenger. I test drove the vehicle twice but the test drive routes were so short, that I unfortunately didn't catch the vertigo issue before I purchased the vehicle. I think what triggered the vertigo was a combination of an awful suspension that makes for a pretty bumpy ride, and the rearview/side mirrors had a slightly distorted reflection compared to other vehicle mirrors. So if you have a vertigo issue (or even a binocular vision issue, which I also have and which contributes to my vertigo issues), you might want to rethink getting this vehicle. As far as pros of the vehicle- it was beautiful inside. I got the 2024 EX trim. It was spacious for being so small. I really loved the wireless phone charging. The infotainment system was nice and somewhat easy to figure out. I like that not everything was on a screen, there were some actual physical buttons below the screen too. The gas mileage is supposedly really good but I didn't get the opportunity to test that out. Additional cons to this vehicle- the digital dashboard has terrible graphics, especially when you set it to look like a traditional speedometer and tachometer. I personally hate the digital dashboards as it is, so it really didn't help how awful the graphics were. The rear AC vents don't have a lot of power, even when the air speed/power is set at the max. One of the reasons I got this vehicle is for the rear AC vents, so if that is a reason you are looking at it, make sure to test out the rear AC vents at max air speed. The infotainment system feels way too far away, I had to almost fully extend my arm to touch the screen/buttons, but I am short, so not everyone will have that problem. The EX doesn't have a power liftgate and I feel like it should, but maybe that is something that comes with one of the higher trims. But for being a mid level trim, I think it should come with it. Another con is that if you drive at night, there are these weird lights that flash inside the door and under the steering wheel/glove compartment area. If you are listening to music, it flashes to the beat of the music which is very distracting and honestly seems dangerous. I could not figure out how to turn that feature off. It was unfortunate I had to lose money by selling this vehicle soon after purchasing it. It only had 280 miles on it. It's also too bad that the dealership didn't try to work with me on maybe returning it or giving me some sort of good trade-in deal for a different vehicle (Sands Kia, in Arizona). I took quite the financial loss with selling it because the value of the vehicle drops dramatically as soon as you purchase it, unfortunately. But I ended up purchasing a 2024 Chevy Equinox after selling the Seltos, and this vehicle is much more sturdy and has a smoother ride. So if you also have a vertigo issue, you might want to look into an Equinox instead.
