 We loved this SUV at first; great in the snow, nice interior and good price for features.  However, now in its third year, it is falling apart.  The transmission plug fell out, requiring a new transmission. Kia paid however we had to pay for the rental.  Then one of the belt pulleys broke off requiring a new "lower engine block"  This second repair took two weeks.  Kia covered rental for this repair, but nothing for the inconvenience.  Still like the vehicle, but I probably made a mistake buying it the first year out.
