I've got a 19 Soul exclaim with the 1.6 turbo and 7 speed DCT transmission. Drives great now but It only has 43k miles on it so I do worry about down the line since I'm out of warranty at this point for any possible drivetrain issues.

If you take care of it and follow some basic rules (like N while waiting in traffic, let engine get to optimum temp on cold start and regular maintenance) Kia have learned their lesson and tuned the transmission and engine to a point where DCT + 1L turbo engine is not a big concern nowadays. All the fear about DCT and turbo petrol is exaggerated.
