It has to be better than my Yaris. The slowest car in the world.

They look ok for cheap cars. A teenie bopper car, but Kia's stuff has gotten better.

I would look at the new Focus or one of the Mazdas.

My wife has a new Focus. It's decent, gets good mpg and the Microsoft Sync system is pretty nice!

We've looked at the Mazda 3 and weren't overly impressed. Nor with the Fiesta, which was our choice until we test drove it. Haven't had a chance to look at the Focus 5 door yet as it just came out. We also liked the Kia Forte 5, but its a big like a station wagon. Prefer something a bit tighter. My wife doesn't like boxy, but the Soul is suitable. The interior space from front to trunk is huge in the Soul for such a small car. Curious if any owners have a more long term impression. The online sights give it a relatively favorable review considering price.

Prog, the dealer near me can't keep them on the lot. A LOT of people have them here. I really like the color Alien. I think it looks sharp. I've thought about it myself.

Do the Kias have large talons?

 

[avbat]

wouldn't buy a kia . . . . ever

 

[EVILFACE]

Such a discriptive reason why too. I'm sure that will help him in his quest.

My neighbor has one, and he loves it. It's his second car for driving to work and he swears it'll never break down. I doubt his word means anything to you, but it is what it is.

~~How about a VW Golf?? I'm thinking about buying one of those, or maybe one of the new Beetles that is coming out. Can't decide if I want a TDI, or just go with the 2.0T that is in them.

was more on the maintainance stuff. they say their parts are hard to come by. you'll be in a tough spot when the time comes you need them, i've been told.
