    Troof....

    Anywho. I was looking at the options on kia.com and they don't seem to have too many options. I picked the automatic EX and added a sunroof and it ended up being 19k. Seemed a little expensive.

    Wow yeah that's a lil much for a Kia seeing how I've never liked anything they have ever produced.

    Okay how about this...get the fuck out of my thread if you don't have anything productive to say. I simply asked for people's opinions. You could have said "I don't like it" and left it at that.

    Give this a read, Tonto: click.

    That is... assuming you can spare 2 or 3 minutes of your Honda-Tuning masturbation time. This, of course, is assuming you're just another mindless sheep / elitist prick who thinks Hondas are the only cars in the world worth driving.


    If you're not, then my apologies.


    ...but I'm pretty sure you are.

    I will admit the stock wheels aren't too sexy, but slam it with some different wheels and de-badge...it'll be a looker

    Only my opinion though.

    my thoughts exactly. I'm to the point now, I don't care what it is. I'll drive it. I can't afford my truck payment any longer, as I don't have the same amount of money coming in anymore. I'd rock it.

    if u still think kia is making shitty cars. i feel for you.

    the forte looks nice... and kia's warranty shits on alot of companies.

    and cars in the junkyard, are just due to resale value. And the people that buy them. cars with low value usually end up there because people cant afford or its not worth to repair. Alot of people have a mental block and just cant see other companies making a decent car. There are alot of shitty cars that have been made, and are still made. But to me its all on the owner..

    Not gonna lie...the price does seem kinda steep. Possibly a better deal if there were more options besides just a sunroof.

    cant argue with that. But in the real world. Civics are really overpriced, and nowadays there alot of cars that you can get for less, and get more.

    kia has alot to prove to alot of people, but they are proving it with the 100k /10yr warranty.

    I agree that warranty is bad ass... and personally wouldnt waste 19k on a civic probably go with a nice IS300 or GS400

    i must been one of the rare few as I actually think this thing looks pretty decent. Props to KIA, but lets work on reliability.

    i like it alot, Kia is starting make nicer cars, seeig how kia is pretty much hyundai... and hyundai stepped there game up alot and are seen all over just like kia's are starting too. and both companies have stepped up huge in reliability. Kia's resale isnt the best but most people that buy a kia dont resale it, they keep it forever. you could buy a brand new kia and finance it for 6 years and after those 6 years still have another 4 YEARS of warranty!! id drive the crap out of a black one.
