while i was being hounded by solicitors at the gas station for a free demo of non washing wax formula.. i said no..
anyways.. he said "man, that's a kia? good job!" i said thanks.
A guy who works where I work (not a coworker though) saw my car in the parking lot, he never really speaks but saw me and complimented the Koup, he said he owned a Kia quite a few years ago but it didn't look anything like mine, he said the company has gotten much better at making cars and they are now equal to the Japanese.
Funny note, after leaving work that day I pull out of the lot and a Corsa blue Koup is right behind me, I havent ran into another Koup on the road since I've owned mine, seen a few sedans and 5 doors but my first Koup sighting in the wild...lol.

I get a compliment a week from people I work with. Just recently someone asked me if I clean my car every day because it looks brand new. I've had the car about 6 months and I clean it every other weekend (plus the occasional wax) so it looks pretty nice.
I find that most people tend to overestimate the cost of the car, which makes me feel good about the purchase.
Best compliment I ever got was from my fiance. I took her to see the car before I bought it. She took one look at it, didn't even look inside, and said buy it. Worst comment was from my brother who said the wheels are ugly. I told him I was sorry but chrome wire spoke rims weren't an available option.

This past weekend I was sitting at a four way stop behind a Malibu. There was another car at the cross street stop and no one was going. I was starting to wonder what was going on then I noticed the guy in the Malibu staring at my car in his rear view mirror.
