Hi everyone!
i’m new here.
I have an appt Monday to place my special order for my Telly!
im doing the glacier white SX AWD in nightfall with the butterscotch interior
My questions for everyone are

1. what are your favorite/least favorite things before you buy
2. Anything you wish you have that you don’t?
3. What are any issues you’ve had this far if any?
4. does anyone know anything about the paint chipping on them? This may not be a thing but one dealership I spoke to said that they offered a paint warranty?
5. does anyone recommend the interior warranty package?
Any lastly. Any information you wish you would’ve known or think I should know?!

Steer clear of any warranties on a new car.

1. If the finance manager tries to sell you on warranties and add on packages, beware they will try to break it down by monthly costs instead of total cost of the package to entice you.
2. SX Prestige has everything there is to offer. Maybe touch sensors behind the door handles would’ve been easier to unlock.
3. 1.5 years of owning and 7k miles, no issues.
4. No paint chipping for my SXP. Been through blizzards, rain and hot summers.
5. I did not get any interior warranty. Just regular cleaning and leather conditioning has been working for me.

Understand that UVO connect expires after first free year trial (ie. kia access app, voice control search). Disable your Rear Occupancy Alert if your alarm is sounding when away from the car. Check tire pressure after delivery.

Concur with all points provided by Tellthemride above. He is a well-known and credible member.

I’ve had mine since March 2019 and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. My wife drives a Lexus RX350 and she can say same about hers, so it’s always a personal thing with vehicles I guess.
if you spend any time on this forum, you will see a lot of good dialogue related to trim packages. I sprung for the full meal deal SXP myself and I love everything about it.

Please check back often and contribute to these conversations and let us know what you think once you actually take delivery. We all get more informed and enjoy the friendly engagement.
