I hope it would say nice things about me!

My 29 year old daughter keeps making veiled comments about wanting it! Another family member is thinking of trading their Volvo for one.

I might trade up to a KX3 but I am not all that bothered, because I am happy with this one.

Hopefully that will be some years away, but the warranty, etc would make me think seriously about a Kia.
