Thoughts on the above? Looking at one, Seems like a pretty nice rig, I just don't have any experience with Kia's.

It's a Sante Fe wearing Kia badges. Inlaws have one (2014). Has the Lambda V6, great engine. Decent interior. Good car at being a car.
They are tanks, ours took 3 separate rear-end collisions before being totaled by a Chevy Silverado on the interstate. Very few issues in our ownership, we had the last year of the 4 with port injection (not GDI). Decent mileage and good rear seat space. Still miss it.
My wife has a 2013 with 90K or so on it; as Bobilla said, it's a great transportation appliance. SX trim level V6 AWD with leather cooled driver's seat and 3rd row seats. It's easy to DIY service; the only repairs Ive had to do in 3yrs are a new backup camera, and work on the rear seat release latches a few times.
We have a 2011 with 98k, purchased with 30k. Has needed one a/c hose and one battery terminal. I have the I4 fwd to keep it simple, timing chain vs the v6 belt.
Good SUV appliance, would get another.
