I got the 2.0 SX on Saturday. I just switched over to a KIA after driving two European cars. Design-wise it is a handsome car.
I have got to get use to the relatively light steering. The six speed auto box is smooth due to the closer ratios.
The car has a spirited drive. Only about 250 Km on the odometer. Did pushed it to about 140 on the highway before easing off due to a tight engine and a possible speeding ticket. And also due to the Silverstone tyres. I was on Continentals and Yokohamas before.
The air-conditioner is lovely. There is something about these Asian cars. The air-conditioner cools very fast.
The sound quality of the radio is pretty cacat by comparison. For the price I paid I can forgive many things, radio included.
Out of habit, I keep reaching for the non-existent ignition key on the steering column. Real funny.
This car needs nothing, except maybe a set of better tyres.
Cheers :-)

Hi Breadman,
Congrats on your new ride. I would appreciate much if you could post the FC reading in heavy city traffic in KM per litre.
TQ.

I usually don't bother with it because I know modern NA passenger cars, whether 1.6L, 1.8L or 2.0L, give very good FC. A far cry from older generation cars which uses a carburetor.
My driving is 80% city and 20% highways. Let me build up a decent mileage and I'll give you a reading from the car's MFD.
Cheers.

No. Too low for my liking. I will be scraping and damaging it.
