American Kia Seltos First Drives Have Started - Should Release on Monday

That should be interesting.
I test drove one a few days ago and I was very impressed. We found a bumpy ,potholed dirt lot nearby. It went through all that and kept it's composure with no joincey rebound.
Also accelerated smoothly and quickly on the street.

All the reviews are pretty positive which is a good sign. I messed around in an EX and I agree that the EX is the best bang for your buck. Personally I want the fancy tech toys so I will be leasing an SX but it's nice to know that you don't HAVE to get the top of the line trim to get a decent car.
