Anyone have one? How do you like it? And have you had any issues?

I don't have one. I really like looking at them online. I can't get past the Kia thing.

Agreed but it is a great looking car at a good price so I think I could talk myself into overlooking it.

Probably should. They've improved quality a lot from what I've read. They are very much like Hyundai (who now has a large stake in Kia) where they made bad cars for a long time and their reputation is lagging behind their actual quality.

Kia and Hyundai are two names that are not the same as 15+ years ago. They have come a long way to earn a seat at the table with the other brands

Neighbor just bought a white one. I keep looking out the kitchen window to admire. Haven't seen the interior up close yet, but a sharp looking SUV on the outside.

Wife and I bought one.
S model in Moss Green with the second row captains chairs.
Absolutely love it. Coming from a Tahoe the Kia rides better, has better pickup, the infotainment system blows the Tahoe completely out of the water. In my opinion, it has just as much room as the Tahoe as well. Most of the reviews online are accurate with the exception of the lacking performance. Throw it in sport mode and it will light the tires up and take off, that's plenty enough performance for something with third row seating.
It has way more features than the Tahoe we had, LT model, for 20k less. We ended up getting it around 33,500

I'm in the market for a new SUV very soon and this has definitely sparked my interest. Everything you can get at that price point is pretty impressive. Even the fully loaded top trim looks like it's less than 42k brand new. And it looks sleek on top of it all. Really hard to ignore it. I'm just waiting to see more reviews come out. Haven't seen it discussed in Consumer Reports yet

My wife and I are looking at this while waiting for the Hyundai Palisade. We will probably purchase one of these two after we can get a closer look at both.

my wife's a bitch and stops me at kia.

From my research, wait for the 2020s. They made some positive adjustments from the original 2019s

There isn't a 2019. They are all 2020

Kia and Hyundai passed the domestics on quality years ago.

Kia and Hyundai
If my next car isn't a 'luxury' brand then I'll likely go with one of these two. I'm also lumping in the Genesis under Hyundai even though they are starting to separate that brand to build the badge value.
The price/value relationship on these vehicles is as good as anything on the market. The Telluride and Pallisade have some top-end features in the base package.

Oh no Chappy, what is you doin?

I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy one soon. I’ve liked the look of them when I first saw them. I also have a very limited amount of car dealerships to choose from. There are only 3 kinds of dealerships within a 4 hour drive of my house. We used to have to make that drive for service and it isn’t worth it. So I have limited options.

My wife has a Kia Sedona. We've had it for 2.5 years and have put 70k miles on it. It's been great. Actually, I find it as comfortable to drive as my MDX. Aside from a remote door motor, we've only done routine maintenance on it.
Part of that routine maintenance is brake pads. I changed all of them out last weekend. While doing so, I noticed the OEM struts were labeled Hyundai. Kind of surprised me.

Agreed but the problem is trade in\resale value. When you go to trade in down the road its going to have much greater depreciation than a Honda or Toyota. Not saying its right but the badge on the front of the car makes a difference.

Hell, you can lease them for sub $400/month I think. That's almost worth it to give them a whirl. I'm just too car note averse right now.

My wife and I bought one about a month ago and absolutely love it. The exterior look is nice. As another poster said, the infotainment system is legit. It certainly has some getup in Sport mode.
