Hello all... just joined the forum.

Only have about 1k miles on my car. Pretty happy with it so far but gotta say, some of the issues posted in this forum have me a bit nervous about my purchase.

Coming from a 2018 Soul and I'm already missing the auto up/down on both front windows. (and I hate the Idle Stop Start crap)

I wouldn’t worry about it, as I mentioned in another thread…when things go wrong people tend to complain (loud)…when things are great, people don’t say shit. The bad always gets disproportionately amplified.

From a automotive site: Problems With Kia Cars: 7 Known Issues (Explained)
“Kia is the overall top-ranked 2022 brand, as it has only 145 problems per 100 vehicles. This is quite remarkable, and it says a lot about the brand. That's not all, Kia also has a reliability rating of 4.0 out of 5.0 on RepairPal.”

let’s face it, no manufacturer is perfect…modern vehicles are VERY complex beasts. The fact that most get pretty much everything right, most of the time, is pretty damn amazing.

Here is Australia, we have the auto up and down on the driver window, and our models don't have the stop/start thing. I don't think I'd want that either.

Yeah I wish they had auto window on passenger as well, but gotta keep costs down somehow. The auto stop/start is annoying, but I personally turn it off every time anyways…you are correct, you don’t want it…lol
