I traded in my BabyHyundai on Tuesday 4/12 and purchased another dead sexy car. Thanks to Mitch for all the info and specs, I believe this is the better deal then the Elantra Limited. My Kia is everything I wanted and was brought up from Mass to me here in Maine!! So far, I am so happy!!

Car looks great. Hope it gives you at least 160k of trouble free miles! Kyle it has the 173hp 2.0 engine.

MSRP was $24,000. Kia's $2,000 discount. I put $7,000 cash down an

only $300 for the BabyHyundai, I financed $16,000. I was hoping to have saved $10,000 in cash when the day came. The BabyHyundai was rusted from the bottom up. The engine etc. was great still. I broke the driver's side control arm coming home from work one night. My mechanic friend replaced it and the passenger side one as well. But, if I wanted to spend more money, it should have had an aliment as well. So the front tires were bulging and very unsafe when I made the purchase on the Kia. The dealer gave me a sinus infection green Kia Soul to drive until Tuesday when my Kia came in.

I took a pic of my day time running light this morning. I love the looks!!

Went in for Mandy's (my car) 1st oil change at the dealer. I have 4,100 miles and it's been little over 2 months. No issues, except for the hesitation after taking off from a stop. The mechanic took it out, and said that it's there, but nothing major. They reset the computer in the transmission. I'm annoyed because the service advisor assured me that it's still trying to get "used to my driving." I'm thinking after 3,000 miles of me driving my Mandy, she should be used to me by now. (Oh, by the way, she's getting 37-38 MPG, just saying..lol!)
