Yes, I'll miss the turbo fun. What I won't miss is:
a) A speeding ticket every 3 or 4 months.
b) 90 mile trip to nearest dealer every 2 months.
c) Spending appx. $2000 a year on repairs.
d) Wondering what that clunk in tranny is or that whine under the hood is and how much it is going to cost me.
I never said the car is a lemon. In fact for the miles I drive (about 3500 per month) it was remarkably reliable. I use my car for work and need to have something reliable and inexpensive to operate.
Now to defend my choice of a Kia, no other dealerships offered more than $6500 and most of them (Toyota, VW, Honda) wouldn't even take it. So you see I'm not a mechanical retard, just realistic. The Kia has 4 wheel discs (no ABS and I'm glad), 8 airbags, and weighs in at 2700#. Not exactly a death trap especially since some of you think it can't exceed 60 mph anyway.
