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.

nice to see the 6 speed tops out 3rd right around where the 5 speed does, granted I did downshift into 3rd at about 30, but it topped out at 90ish
I wanna see how far 3rd will go running it WOT from the get-go

I've had my EX since Valentines' 2010 (104 days) and I'm pushing past 9,000 miles. I average 100 miles/day, but I took a 19-day vacation in the beginning of this month.

There have been no major issues; I have to get the airbag reprogrammed per Kia instructions, and I do experience that weird 1st/2nd gear shift issue that a lot of 5-speed autos have. Oh, my Sirrius has very poor reception. Stock antenna, and when I drive under freeway overpasses (at speed) the signal will cut out, and even when I pull besides a big rig the signal sometimes gets blocked. Hmm, that's more issues than I thought...

Pickup up my SX Sedan Oct 28, 2009. As of today I have 18,232 km's and no major issues.

Got my car on May 13th, little more than two weeks ago. It's now at about 504 km which converts to 311 miles. It had 43 km when I got it. My daily commute is quite short

Only problem so far is passenger's side front fender is loose and sometimes (has been a while since I last heard it) makes a weird plastic flapping noise. And I feel like I'm learning to drive all over again with this clutch; quite different from every car I've driven!

Nothing major though, everything just perfect.
