KiaTech had mentioned in another thread that all new cars should have been driven off the lot with a minimum of 20km due to the tech's must road test each car for 20km prior to delivery to customer.

20Km is way too much mileage for a PDI. Who would want their new car driven by a stranger for that much distance. All that is needed is a few km's. Mine only had 6Km when I picked it up. I told them it must have less than 10Km on delivery and they complied.

They need the 20km road test to see if any issues arise. 20km is low for a little better peace of mind. If they drove halfway across my city it would be 20km.

I'm betting a few forum users wished they had done this 20km test, one person had his gas tank hose come loose after driving a few blocks and leaking gas down the road.

Land vehicle Vehicle Car Alloy wheel Kia forte

thiefness I do love it. I raced a civic si last night and I made him think he was winning till I actually gave it gas and hit 90 mph in third lol. He was pissed. Matemorh I love the name of your forte I need to give mine a name. The reason it only had 66 miles on it is because my wife got home at 10 pm after buying it to suprising me with it. Now it has a little over 200 miles and still more than half a tank in it. I love this car so much better than my 05 optima.

Bought mine Jan 10th 2010 with 5 miles on it. When i saw it it was still plastic wrapped from transport. im at 5200 miles currently so roughly 1000 a month

No problems other than wierd starts (Starting at really low RPM's sounded like its about to die then the RPMS raise) only happened a couple times.

Other than that im golden...
