    Kia Seltos was one of the cars I wanted to purchase, because it delivers premium features for a mid-range price. I bought this car two years ago and the only complaint I have about this is it has a bit high maintenance costs. The car otherwise is good both for City errands and a roadtrip. You can have all the comfort you want, while driving with the power of a real SUV.

    On highways, the steering feels stable and the turbo has eNough power for quick overtakes. Suspension is a bit firm on bad patches, but handling stays sharp. For city and long trips, it works smoothly and looks stylish too.

    My favourite car is Kia Seltos which I also own currently. I like the comfort, looks and the mileage of Kia Seltos. While it could do better on safety ratings, I prefer it for the every day practicality and good city driving comfort. AC is a great chiller.

    Kia Seltos NA IMT 1. My first car and only car. 2. Learnt how to drive in it. 3. The dynamic guidelines helped me learn how to park the car in tight spaces ( considering the fact that we did not have a dedicated parking space when we got the car) 4. The IMT gear box helped me avoid stalling in bumper to bumper traffic. 5. I had motion sickness while growing up, my car helped me overcome that with decent road manners. 6. I don't have an experience living with other cars, but I can surely say that Seltos NA IMT gives good value for its price.
