Considering the amount of money put into the car and the mileage in such a short time, the car is excellent. No mechanical issues as of yet. Automatic windows work well, carpet and interior fabric is excellent, except for stains from the kids and coffee!
The car handles more like a Buick, than a Porsche! I replaced the front brake shoes myself and had the struts done, too. My older brother loves the rides of older Buicks, Chevrolets, and Oldsmobiles and when he drove my car thinks it was nice and smooth!
Has a classy look to it that most older cars and especially the newer cars actually lack. I like all aspects of the exterior and think Kia has incorporated a lot of nice styling cues from competitors that actually work cohesively. Nice car from any angle.
