This car has had no major mechanical issues so far. It's got over 100,000 miles on it. I like that it's small enough for me to feel comfortable in, but large enough for there to be ample leg room in the back for the kids without the front passenger and driver having to move their seats up. The car itself has held up great to the long Pennsylvania winters. It's very sturdy in the snow and has great traction control. Kia offers a 100,000 mile warranty for all their models, but that only covers major engine issues. The paint under the gaskets in the trunk and hood had started rusting about 29,600 miles into my having the car. The warranty for the paint job is 30,000 miles, and there was an extremely long wait to be approved for the new paint job and replacement gaskets. The computer system is fritzing now, sometimes the horn won't beep, the traction control will not turn off and the cruise control won't turn on. All in all, I'm happy with this car. It's got a 5 star safety rating. The gas mileage is amazing, 30 highway miles to the gallon. It's got airbags everywhere and sensors to tell you about the tire pressure and engine issues. It has a good 'get up and go' on cold mornings. The A/C blow cold on hot days. It also has a very smooth ride. The engine is quiet, sometimes I'm not sure if I've actually started it or I just turned the battery on.

There are quite a few things I do like about my vehicle such as the comfortable drivers seat along with the car itself is fun to drive. I don't like the hands free option in my car because the mic is in a stupid place and barely picks up speech when I talk normally.
