    can you afford the gas? in all seriousness, in comparison to your kia you are going to hurt at the pump unless you travel highway constantly. insurance will also be high.

    otherwise they are pretty stout cars besides what others have said -- the tranny just can't handle being treated like you're trying to break it, so don't do that. they are nice, fairly simple cars with a huge aftermarket and huge community. they're also practical and sound sweet as hell. world rally blue is one of the best colors ever btw.

    good luck, do your research.
