I wish you Good Luck & Safe miles in your new KIA Forte...How's the MPG's ? (It does have a great warranty, so it's great that it fits in garages) :rotfl: Keep us updated on your review...Thanks 4 sharing :thumbsup: I ended up trading in my 2005 Silverado. It had about 38,000 on it (bought in new May of 05). Didn't drive it a lot because at the time, work was close to home. Before my driveway was redone it was a lot of gravel to the left, and I parked half on it, which resulted in that half of the underside rusting pretty bad, my brakes were getting eaten because of it, so did some of the body and suspension. The headliner was falling out, I was constantly replacing brakes, the belt would squeal, the tensioner was bad, it had a weird noise under load, it shifted hard sometimes... things that SHOULDN'T be happening in a basically new vehicle. |
There are some good variants of this car like the sportier ones. It looks very nice too! Totally high-tech! My friend got a brand new Ford Fiesta and as puny as that is, it also packs a punch and it decent inside. Enjoy that skyrocketing MPG!
P.S. Who's the little guy in the back? XD |

Doing probably 70% city so far I've averaged about 28 MPG. It's rated as 27 city / 27 highway.

Hi `Mike, & thanks for your reply & infor. It's sad what happened to your Silverado with the weather elements. I'm happy that you did not trade your Monte, since you just got it painted & fixed `up.. Which one will you drive to work ? It's great that you will have a 10yr 100K warranty with your new car...Do you have a good dealer with good reputation ? Is it close ? Wish you safe/happy trouble`free miles in your new Kia Forte...Good Luck from `Space :thumbsup: |

I replaced the factory battery last Winter (it's a 2003) but it was having corrosion issues around the terminals that I kept cleaning. Finally I replaced the terminal, but it's still takes a bit to start, and it's blown a few fuses. Plus it likes to have evap code issues. I'd like to ditch the van and get either an SUV or another truck. Maybe even a larger 4 door (like a Charger)....something RWD. I just hate FWD...in general really, but in the winter especially I prefer the RWD. |
But it is a Kia! Lol. I was never really a fan of KIAs, for some reason. But I am happy you like it, those little cars can get-up and go when you. We'd it. I would like a Ford Focus, the. Ew one instead of this. But I am happy you enjoy it, it will be better on your pocket then your truck
