What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?

We wanted a bigger car and this van has loads of room. Our old car was falling apart. We were debating between a 7 seater suv or this 8 seater van.

What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.

The van is very comfortable, has all the bells and whistles and loads of room. The diesel version is good on gas not the petrol one. We bought diesel.

What have you discovered since owning the car?

Still love the comfort, bells and whistles, room, it drives nicely. Only issue has been with the automatic door not working and needing repair several times as well as the automatic boot door, all were fixed free of charge by Kia.

Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?

Yes

Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?

I would buy it again for the size, comfort and driveability. Though we'll probably get a 4wd eSUV when we replace it in several years.
