So just for fun, I purchased my SX Telluride on March 20. I know that many were sold before that date. Fun fact I was the first person to have the Kia Telluride in Jackson, TN. It was a blast to drive around for the first few weeks and know that I was the only one in the city lucky enough to be in a Telluride. I would get stopped at the market or the gas station so much that I carried Broachers from Kia and my sells persons business card. I felt like a Kia ambassador. So my question is when did you buy your Telluride, where are you, Tell us about some of your experiences driving a car that is rare to see on the road. I love my SX. Great driving experience.

Ordered mine April 23... Got it Aug. 21. Black in Black SXP/AWD/Tow..... I have strict orders for them NOT to prep the outside. I did not want swirl marks on it. Reason??? I had an appointment to take it in to be ceramic coated and the interior IF treated. It is so whiney and smooth.. it looks like black chrome and will not have to wax it.... Just basic wash and rinse. (might buy a foam gun later).

With an owner's manual the size of the Gutenberg bible... there is a lot to learn. I never owned a vehicle with this much tech. This T-Ride may be my last new vehicle. Lol, the car's warranty might just be longer than mine.... 70's here. However.. I enjoy driving it ... even though my wife seems to be scared to. She prefers to sit and enjoy the heated and cooled seats.....No matter... I think all, but a small few, will enjoy the uniqueness and usage of their T-Rides.

I ordered my dealer and salesperson not to wash mine to prevent swirl marks. They didn't follow thru after multiple requests. It now has swirl marks on entire black copper vehicle, and there was no offer to fix it... just to back out of the deal and hide them temporarily with a little bit of wax. Manager was also very rude about the whole thing.


Worst experience ever buying a car that I waited 6 months for.

Any recommendations on getting this all fixed at affordable price since dealer refused to help even though it was their fault?

Did you also do PPF on the front end? If not, have you had any issues with rock chips? I have seen some talk about it and am trying to decide on PPF and/or ceramic for my Ebony Black when it arrives in Dec. Would appreciate any additional thoughts on your experience! Sounds like wash with ceramic is easy but I have never had a car with it...
