This car is one of my personal favorites that my family has owned. It is definitely the most modern car we've owned, and comes with the important tech features that we enjoy (mainly iPod and Bluetooth support). While it's modern, it still has more of the traditional look that I like in a car, in that it does not have bulbous headlights or blinding taillights, and it is not shaped like a cube. It has a very sophisticated look to it without being overly flashy like a sports car, which I love. I wish the model came with a better variety of colors, but was nevertheless able to get the color I wanted. It's quite comfortable, both on short excursions and longer road trips. While it is not the most high-powered car, it has the acceleration when it counts to stay safe. Visibility is also good. Gas mileage is fair and it has needed very little maintenance since its purchase date. The trunk is exceptionally wide and deep, something I definitely need in a car for travel luggage and also tons of groceries. Overall, this car really suits my needs and I would definitely recommend.

This car looks very understated, in a good way. If you want something that's loud and attention-getting, this isn't the car for you. The interior and trunk is extremely roomy even though this car doesn't look huge from the outside. The seats are comfortable, but the interior is rather noisy, especially at higher speeds. The radio has an automatic volume boost to compensate for this, which seems like a bandage fix. It gets around 33 mpg on average, but it is extremely dependable. It struggles to go up steep hills, but it steers and brakes very securely. The stock tires seem to be extremely cheap, though. I had heard mixed information about Kia's in the past, so I was wary about the brand. However, the car has been very reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to get another one in the future or recommend it to my friends. I think the only other thing is that the resale value for this make/model isn't as high as others like Toyota. If that's an important factor, then it might be a better idea to look at other cars with better resale value.
