Things that are important to me if the Telluride is going to be my next ride

[Jenny Wang]

When I was planning on buying a Stinger I was looking for a car that's comfortable and luxurious but also nice to look at. The Stinger is hot! But it was the GT that drew me in. When I saw the 2.0, which is the one I could afford, it was missing some of the aggressive looks I really wanted.

For me to buy the Telluride I want or need it to be

1. soft riding. I want luxury not sport. I don't think anyone has test driven the Telluride yet but I'd love to know if it's stiff, soft or something between
2. quiet. I don't want a lot of wind noise and road noise. The Stinger did great here in all forms. I'm waiting for a few reviewer test drives to see what they say here.

Everything else I like. I'm pretty sure I'm be good with the base LX. But we'll see. What do you think these things will be like with the Telluride? Have you heard anything/. Any reviews yet that I've missed?

I'm pretty sure you're going to get a good mix of both your wants. I'm hearing the ride is very soft and that the Telluride is generally quiet. Though not quite as quiet as the Stinger...

I test drove an AWD EX a couple days ago and posted some thoughts in another thread. I thought the ride was quite soft and the car was pretty quiet. Maybe a little louder than my Accord when accelerating, but nice for a big SUV.

Resale value. Rightly or wrongly the Kia brand is still considered tacky by the uniformed. Hopefully the Telluride will help change that perception. I tend to change cars every 3-4 years so look for something that will hold its value.
