I fully expected that they would take some getting used to, but that has not been the case. I had never before driven a car with either CVT or all wheel drive. I've put a cover on the wheel of most of the other cars that I've owned, but didn't need to do it with the Seltos. I like the leather padding on the steering wheel. The leatherette seats in the EX are plenty comfortable for short local driving, but may leave a bit to be desired for longer trips. I've got plenty of driver's head and leg room, and my foot goes easily between the accelerator and brake - unlike some cars I've driven. I'm a 70 year old six footer, and have no trouble getting in and out of it. Most modern cars have that feature, and most of them default to 'on' every time the car is started. Well, that's not unique to the Seltos, or even Kia in the whole. One complaint, primarily on owner reviews, is that if you don't want to use ISG (Idle Stop Go), you need to turn it off every time you start the car.

When I have taken it on the highway, I've had plenty of power to merge into traffic and pass slower vehicles. Unless you want a car to take to the drag strip or the Indy 500, the base engine will do just fine. One of the 'cons' from expert reviews is that the standard engine is under powered. If we'll be taking anyone else, we'll take her Equinox. That's a non-factor for us, as it's usually just my wife and me. The back seat passenger(s) will not be very comfortable in the Seltos. If you're a 6 footer and will be carting around 2 or 3 other large adults, you should probably opt for a larger vehicle. Some reviewers were also impressed with back seat legroom, but I beg to differ there. I'm 6' tall and find both to be substantial, … even with the sunroof, which is standard with the EX. I agree with most of the reviews concerning front seat head and leg room.

I'll start my review discussing what I've read in other reviews, then finish up with some general observations. I've put just over 400 miles on it, most of it cross town commuter driving. A month ago, I traded in my 2013 base Soul for the 2022 Seltos EX, and love it.
