I have to admit, I am getting a little tired of SUVs, but it is really the only thing most manufacturers make these days. So I placate my SUV fatigue by driving classic cars as much as possible. While there is seemingly an endless choice of small SUVs to choose from the Kia Seltos does stand out as an all-around great value for a daily driver. After a week, here is what stood out...
