But similar priced vehicles (Kai Magentis, Ford Fusion, Nissan Sentra) have much better quality, in my opinion.

My HHR was around 29,000CAD and a luxury Magentis is around 29,000CAD. Both have leather, sunroofs and lots of goodies. I'm ridiculuously impressed with what Kia has done with that car. Why the Americans can't provide the same level of finish I don't know. The Kia is an extremely well finished and well appointed vehicle, albeit a completely different category of car.
Go buy a Magentis and see for yourself what "Kia Quality" means. Kia's are a tax on people who can't do math and have no credit.

I wont go that far, as we have had 3 kia's
One because of the above reason and the other 2 because of the cost to get in them.So I will say they are buit very well.
But if you buy one beware you loose to much once you drive it off the lot.
We got lucky when we got rid of the kia mini van. We did take a hit but not as bad as I was thinking it would be.

It was great little car. We got what we needed to out of it when we sold it but it didn't take much to get into it.
With a new baby and another on the way it was too small for us.

Been meaning to post regarding this....and forgot. Thanks "Hills" for retrieving it from the cob webs.
I had noticed in the passenger air bag outline, some time back, VERY FAINT indications of black under the gray dash color. You need to really look well....but it's there.
Really not causing any concern at this time. I have a dash cover which conceals it. And again, I would need to call it to your attention for you to notice it.
