 Comfortable, peppy with a stick, *great*
suspension, and a quality control
disaster. Poor mpg (23/29).
 Brake rotors replaced after 10K miles,
interior sounds like a circus marching
through town with all the squeeks and
noises, and at 30K miles clutch release
bearing failed with a high-pitched
whine. I've driven stick for 20 years
and didn't realize that such a part
existed, but according to Kia it's a
"normal wear item." The bearing costs a
few dollars, the repair $500+. Their
"customer service" will NOT take
responsibility. So much for their warranty.
 Forget this POS. For a few thousand more
buy a Honda or a Toyota that will serve
you unerringly for many, many years.
