It looks like it has a great warranty but they WILL NOT give you a free loaner when it needs service/parts and it WILL need service. LOTS of it.  Parts were not stocked at that time so you have to WAIT for them to come in. Maybe things are different now but why bother?
Stay away!

there are good and bad coming off every carmakers assembly line. I think that "stay away" could be said about a whole mess of cars, including the new Camaro. (Camaros break? GASP!) I have a friend with a Kia and it has over 200K miles on it and has never had a single problem and she (the owner) barely has the sense to change the oil regularly.
I've driven a coupe of Kia models as rental cars. Most recently a Kia Soul. It was not bad at all, everyone was shocked because I said I would buy one if I needed a smaller, "get around" car.
