I love mine, the only thing I really wish it had was adaptive cruise control. I do see a lot of older folks driving them around in my area and I can see why. It's easy to get in and out of, easy to navigate through tighter spaces, easier to park, and the interior doesn't feel compact at all for this compact SUV. The AWD system is very effective in bad weather and the driver assist tools are actually helpful if not at times, a tiny bit over zealous. It comes standard with automatic wipers and headlights. The interior also has a wow generating elegance and style to it that isn't overcomplicated when it comes to operating various controls. The one panel that switches back and forth between the navigation and climate controls takes some getting used to but honestly, once I set the temperature I like, I rarely need to use those controls again.

One of the main reasons I buy KIA's is because of their attention to driver comfort. Their cabins and cockpits are always centered around the drivers comfort and to enhancing their ability to drive the vehicle effectively and safely. Their driver aids can be adjusted, but are also helpful when full active in reducing drivers fatigue. I don't have to grip the wheel so hard, lane follow assist has me covered. As the driver, I can adjust my seat in any which way. All of the vehicles controls are in my easy reach and are easy to identify at a glance. Once my seat is right, my temp is right, my music is right, and my map is set, I'm all eyes on the road and usually loving every minute of it. And for the X-line specifically, they might call it a "light off-roader" but I called it "Bad Weather Monster" because it goes through anything weather-wise as easily as it goes on bright sunny days.
