We took delivery of our SX Prestige a week ago. Overall we love the vehicle but found KIA missed the mark on two simple features. This top of the line package does not have power steering column. It also does not link our Key fobs to the seat memory system. These are two features most all the competitors have. The price of early adoption.

No Kia that I know of links the keys to the seat memory, they just have the button on the door you have to push.

Thanks for pointing these out.
Too bad none of the automotive publications that had them find these flaws. Do you guys think we'll see them, along with others, get added in future models years? Kia seems to be at a pivotal point.

That's more of a convenience thing than a missing feature, since you can still program several different presets. I think ucinn might be right about Kia never having memory linked key fobs in any of their cars.

I do have a legit question about tying the key to the seat setting. What happens if you have both keys in the car, how does it then decide what seat setting to use?

From what I know the memory seating will be based upon which key is used to unlock the car. Same goes with radio pre-sets on compatible vehicles.

so you have yo use the fob to unlock it instead of just a button on the handle?
