Default From Focus to my 2010 kia forte ex.. "the Korean mistress"

hey everyone, last month i purchased a 2010 kia forte ex in Ebony Black and im diggin it so far, the only thing im not liking is the transmission, the 4 speed auto-tragic is terrible, other then that its quite nice i just got the windows tinted today and the stereo system installed last weekend (two mtx 10's and an old school bazooka amp that was all given to me)

i ordered 2 leds from oznium yesterday for the cupholders which i have no idea how im doing to install lol and im doing the audi headlight mod soon.. im thinkin im gonna murder it out. oh and if your wondering about the nickname "the korean mistress" is because im a person who loves and only drove american cars, so to own a little piece of korean goodness its like im seein somethin on the side hahaha.

anyway, here are some pics

The EX has a 4 speed auto? Huh. The SX has a 5 speed. Don't know if that one is any better though. I agree that the odd shifting is the only drawback to the car.

That's funny because that's exactly what I did as well. I wrecked my Focus and it was totaled so I had a rental and it was the Forte and as soon as my rental was up I went to the Kia Dealer and drove off with it! I love the car!
