2014 Kia Forte

Engine Recall and noisy
We have the GDI engine version of this car and maybe put around 10k km per year on it. Change the oil twice a year as specified in the severe condition category.
The engine is quite noisy and shaky at low idle speed. I am also very worried that this generation of GDI engine has issues with carbon build up on the intake valves.
Now there is a recall campaign in Canada because the engine could catch on fire.
I actually really like this car, but feels like a timebomb.

No such thing as a perfect car but this Kia Rondo is perfect for us. Very comfortable and quiet and handles our terrible roads very well. Family recently came to visit and amazing what we were able to pack into it. This might be the best car I have ever owned.

It Fulfills the Necessities
It provides all the basic things needed in a car and is reasonably comfortable. It is relatively roomy both in the front and the back, and I haven't had very many problems with it. The biggest complaint I may have is that the headrests are quite uncomfortable, and are placed too forward. Overall though, it is a good ride.

2015 Kia Soul

Soul Decent
The Kia Soul is a car with a desired taste. It has its advantages of being small and maneuverable with a fair amount of space for a very small family or just couples.
Overall comfort is good with adjustable seating and great dashboard and center console.
Transmission can be a problem when running uphill. The car seems to have a noticable delay when revving to get up the hill and it doesn't seem to pull compared to other vehicles I have driven.
Fuel Economy is good for a compact SUV, although, with its small size and weight, it isn't quite as good as what I had hoped. It is best to leave the Eco on whenever possible.
Whether winter or summer, the car operates satisfactorily, but don't expect it to be a race horse.

drives nice but is loud on the hiway
The car is a beautiful car inside and out and it handles very well, has lots of speed, the moon roof is a nice feature, but it did have small quarks about it for being such a high end car. The locks on the outside had factory issues and the leather seats seem to be very cheap, the rims were only just coated in chrome. Also the handsfree Bluetooth for the phone was awful the person your speaking to can never hear you, but the stereo is Bose and it is amazing.

2013 Kia Optima

2013 Kia Optima
The 2013 Kia Optima is a decent car with few negatives. Over the last 3 years I've owned the car, my only real complaint is with the automatic traction control. It is WAY TO SENSITIVE, and yes that needed all capital letters. all though there is a button to turn this on and off, its automatically on whenever you start the engine. it doesn't make a difference if its pouring rain or if theres a puddle on the intersection or some loose gravel. if its under the tires, it kicks in when you press the gas and jerks the car violently by braking automatically. this has almost caused accidents based on me trying to accelerate to turn into a lane where i normally would have a ton of room to get up to speed. instead I'm just cutting it close and have the car behind me laying on its horn. I really hope newer models are addressing this issue.

Best car I've ever owned!
As my very first SUV, this has to be the most comfortable car I've ever owned. Traveling for hours is far from being an issue when you can be this snug. On top of it, I've never had any big issues with it (so far) so maintenance isn't too costly, but it certainly uses more fuel than hybrid or smaller cars. Still, I have no regrets!

great family car
Picks up speed nicely. It is a nice quiet car that is great for a family of five. Large trunk is quite useful to carry bigger items and opens up to backseat. Great on gas. KIA is great about letting their clients know when work is due. CD player fails after a couple of years. Starts to decline more rapidly once warranty is done.

2018 Kia Soul
by

Versatility and style that’s as unique as you are.
The cube-like Soul is sold in three unique trim levels — LX, EX and SX. The LX comes with a 130-horsepower 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder. The EX and SX enjoy a more powerful 164-hp 2.0L GDI four-cylinder. The 1.6L engine is mated to a six-speed manual or, optionally, a six-speed automatic. The 2.0L engine comes exclusively with a six-speed automatic. A significant suspension upgrade in 2014 made the Soul more nimble and agile. Hallmark touches of the funky compact include a wraparound greenhouse, high-mounted taillights and upright stance. Available LED front positioning lights and rear LED “light bar” lights help connect Soul to other models within the Kia lineup. Also available is the Soul EV, a pure-electric plug-in model powered by a synchronous AC motor through a single-speed transmission. The liquid-cooled electric motor puts out 109 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque.
