Also thinking of buying-questions for owners

I've been very impressed with my Forte five-door, but I must point out a few items:

My car is actually the second car I've gotten from my dealer. I was able to swap the first one due to a leak that allowed water into the interior. I assume the body sealer was not applied properly, but I haven't found out yet. This second car has been flawless, but I've only had it for about 1K miles in warm weather. I have no experience with a Kia in cold weather, which seems to bring out various problems based on my experience.

Also, it's been discussed before, and you may not experience it, but Kia has a reputation for poor resale value. If you plan on keeping your car for a long time, resale relative to other brands shouldn't be a big issue. If you plan on trading your car soon, it may cost you more than you expect.

Just passing along my experience...
