Personally I think it is a very good car. The early batch of this car are CBU cars and the build quality is good. This car uses the same engine as the Forte and fuel consumption is actually quite good. If I recall correctly, 100% highway can go up to 650+ km while 100% town driving range from 400 - 450 km.

The car is stable when you drive on highway as the weight is relatively higher as compared to VIOS or CITY. The car is reliable and there is no problem with spare parts at least for me. You can go to official Kia service center or NSS. Shouldnt be a problem getting spare parts at all.

The back seat you can fold and you can carry all those long furniture you buy from giant etc. There are two 12V socket one infront of the gear lever and the other one inside the middle compartment.

Korean car mates are good and actually better compared to some Kia service center. They know the right fluid (transmission, engine oil, brake etc) and I have serviced my car regularly with them. Overall it is a good value for money car. Simple car with 4AT and simple electronics make it easy to maintain and mechanics to troubleshoot.
