Bought my car in late February 2014 from a dealer in Virginia. Got a good deal and felt happy driving off the lot. Some problems started early on and some continue.
My one line statement to anyone is that the car is way too sensitive. Most buttons including the keyless phob need to pressed with exact pressure or precise location on the button. This includes the sunroof button as well as the door unlock button.
Here is my list of issues:
1. Sunroof button is terrible and way to sensitive - need to redesign. I have had one button replaced.
2. Metal Clanking noise from front end while driving slow. Dealer tightened hood but problem still continues.
3. Intermittent wind noise from drivers side mirror.
4. Bluetooth isbuggy. Software was updated November 2014. You must wait 3-4 seconds when using the hands free system.
5. Voice control is annoying. Most times my verbal requests are not recognized. Other times the system tells me I spoke to soon. Who at Kia thought adding a talk back command to a $42,000 car was smart. Literally the system yells at you if you talk too soon after hitting the hands free command button. You must wait 3-4 seconds every time you hit the hands free button. Frustrating.
6. Many Kia dealers are not ready to handle a premium car. Took mine to three dealers before I found one that could respond to my issues.
Here are the good points:
1. Gas mileage is not as bad as expected
2. Seats are very comfortable
3. Road noise is quiet most of the time
Over all I would not buy this car again. It was Ok for the price i paid but most of the "cool" features don't work well. The car drives and stops as expected.
