styling and the solid feel and the Infinity sound system is awesome!
Least favorite feature:
It could get better gas milleage (I have gotten around 33 mpg).
Advice to buyer:
Don't be 'snobbed' into a much more expensive vehicle...quality doesn't have to be expensive
Detailed review:
My first impression after driving this vehicle was 'this is a Kia?' It felt solid and sure footed in any situation. Drives like a dream and is super quiet inside the cabin. It has good road feel and takes bumps and imperfections in the road with ease. Great fit and finish and the paint job is perfect. The 4-cyc. has plenty of power and good low-end torque for pulling into traffic. Cruises at high speeds with ease with very little engine noise. All-in-all, a very pleasant vehicle to drive.
