Favorite feature: |
Loads of features, quiet cabin, solid feeling, easy to drive/park. |
Least favorite feature: |
V6 Engine lifter rattle - goes away after 10+ miles - dealer says, 'They all do it, nothing to worry about'. - yeah..right |
Advice to buyer: |
Check out the dealer..are they brand new and handle only Kia, or they established and handle other brands?...might make a difference come warranty time. |
Detailed review: |
Solid feeling, good bottom-end punch w/V6, trans reluctant to down-shift for passing. Is just the right size - drives and parks easily, can hold alotta various stuff or 4 full sized people in pretty good comfort. Gas mileage is disappointing for less than 200 HP,..we average about 15-16 in mixed driving with A/C running all the time. Sunroof leaks a little,..dealer says, 'They all do it, that's why the have a driprail on the inside.'...yeah, riiight. |
