It’s Been 1 Year Since We Bought It and It’s Still Looking New

Looks awesome! Just bought my first Telluride last weekend and I’m so happy.

My honest advice? Truly enjoy your first 50k miles of mostly trouble-free enjoyment. Sell it at 50k while it has some value. I’m at 56k on a 20 SX that is burning and leaking oil (among suspension issues) and neither Kia nor Portfolio (extended warranty) are standing behind it. I used to be one of the “that only happens to other people or folks who don’t perform proper scheduled maintenance” crowd. So disgusted with this car at the moment. Garage parked, wife-driven, never seen snow or salt. Every single service performed at dealer. Purchased extended warranty because “it’s a Kia”. Watch your oil levels. Seriously.

@Dell
You should contact corporate because they were covering all self-leveling rear shocks and reimbursing if you replaced them out of pocket! Unfortunately, you’ve missed the window for reimbursement, but they are covering them for the next 15 years or 150,000 miles! There is a thread on here discussing it! I have a 2020 and just received my reimbursement!

@Dell
This is worrying me. We’re about to buy a Wolf Gray '25 SX Prestige X Line in the coming weeks.

Would you prefer me to blow smoke and tell you what a great value this was at sub $50k in late 2019 dollars? I can do that for you if that’s what you’re seeking.

@Dell
I just had a Hyundai Santa Fe engine failure that the company refuses to stand behind their warranty on. It was like watching $20k evaporate in slow motion. That commenter just needs life to buttfuck him once or twice and then he’ll hear you.

This is the way.

Beautiful!

Piece of shit car.

I’m considering one… why do you say that?

Just save yourself a headache and get a Pilot. Kia’s can be described as a ‘lipstick on a pig.’ They fool you by making them look all fancy but in reality, they’re horribly built/manufactured.

@Devon
Pilot is on my list in addition to Acura MDX or the Mazda 90.

Run away from Hyundai/Kia.

We test drove them all including Grand Cherokee & Grand Highlander. Still went with the Kia, but we lease so we’re always under warranty & out at 36 months if need be. 2025 Wolf Gray Prestige X-Line. It is nice.

There’s a sucker born every minute.
