This car has served me well over the years. While it won't turn any heads it's been reliable and a great point a to point b car. I haven't had any major repairs and seems to keep going with little maintenance.… - 5.0
great car
By john o | on 2/3/2026 6:58:13 PM
the 13 kia i have owned for 31/2 yrs has been a great car. i get 32 MPG city and close to 40 on the hwy. parts are very inexpensive and the ride is smooth and quiet. very quick little car and very responsive on acceleration. the cabin is very driver friendly. the only thing i have an issue with is the infotainment center. way to small and can't be read easily. but, there is an aftermarket solution for that which i have done. the screen is 3 times bigger than the original. otherwise, i give this car 5 stars and will be driving this car far into the future.… - 4.0
