don't hate I go back in tomorrow to sign the paperwork. Barring a major snafu, I guess I'm keeping it. I am going back to a stick shift. Might regret that part. But it's zippy! Been struggling to keep the old Elantra at 29mpg. Looking forward to 40+ w/ the Kia!
they let me drive it home last night - I think they want me to fall in love with it I hear it blows a WRX off the road....110hp!!!
LOL! I'm sure you will, Dixonge. If I use the turbo, I use the gas-oh! I'm still looking for a 32 mpg tank! May have to wait till spring now, here in OH, with the Blizzaks on and the temps hanging around 20-30F
yeah it is a bit high, my MT is at ~2800 rpm at 60 mph I can still regularly get 40 mpg on 55 mph hwys without trying much, and can get 50mpg+ if I work for it hopefully you dont have alot of 70mph interstate travel in your commuting
For smaller cars that seems to be typical these days. Sound driving techniques result in good numbers anyway, so I wouldn't decline the car on that basis. It's an industry problem, not a Kia problem. Looks like a nice car. I hope it serves you very well!
