Nice second car

We bought this car as a second car to use for local errands and short trips; saving our main car for longer trips. It serves the purpose. I like the blind spot warning option. I really like the GPS. Enter an address, and it will take you there. I'm still struggling with adjusting the seat and steering wheel to my smaller frame; but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon.

Bought for my 17 y/o. But I drive it more

I Bought it for my newly-driving daughter because of the nice short 172-inch size for easy parking and all the safety features but I find myself driving it as my main vehicle (since she doesn't drive much during the summer until school restarts in September). I really enjoy everything about it. I have the SX with ventilated seats and sunroof in Fusion black color. I find that I can make the mpg much better than advertised. For example: I drive 2.5 miles to the gym every morning and when I drive conservatively obeying the 25 and 35 mph speed limits I get 39 mpg repeatedly. On the other hand when I take a different route where I drive much more aggressively (having some serious fun) I only get 19mpg (but it's worth it from time to time). I'm in New Jersey and the dealer tried to tack on a marketing adjustment and some add-on fees but when I told him never mind, he quickly removed them and ultimately discounted the vehicle from MSRP by $1750. My final vehicle price before taxes and title was $32,400.

I bought a 2025 seltos sx in may 25 and I love this little suv , I was surprised from the test drive on it’s under-rated on mpg . Going on approximately 20 to 30 mile drives not interstate just city and short highway, I averaged 33 to 39 mpg . That’s primarily what I do so can’t say on the interstate. It has so many features it’s unbelievable for how small it is . Rides and handles really well . The most amazing thing that I noticed it has peak torque from 1600 RPMs all the way to 4500 so it pulls really good. No screaming it out like a lot of other four cylinders I drive. I got the one that was fully loaded with sunroof. No regrets.
