I drove about 80 miles in four days in this car.
This is my first Kia and my first electric car.
I love the car overall, but I have a few questions and concerns.

I found the lumbar support to be a little tight but the front seats are nice and supportive.
I might consider modifying the lumbar support since I am 6'1" and have enough "love handles".

Compared to our Rav4 and Sienna, I feel like I can sit closer to the steering wheel but the pedals are further away.

In my experience, the fingerprint sensor functions roughly 50% of the time. Perhaps my fingerprints need to be reprogrammed. I will attempt to train it in the same settings because I have seen that my fingertips get chilly and dry when I need to use the sensor (in the winter, anyway).The user interface is not very good. For many of the setup options, there is no explanation. A guidebook with hundreds of pages and 90% safety warnings is available though. I wish there was a feature that let you look up a setting, like Android phones do.

I had to spend some time learning how to turn the cruise control on and off. It is necessary to "click" the up/down toggle in order to alter the set speed.
 
It’s great that you're enjoying the Kia EV overall! I can relate to the lumbar support issue—adjusting it should help. The fingerprint sensor can be finicky, especially in cold weather, so reprogramming might solve that. The user interface does need improvement, and I agree a search feature would make it much easier.
