I am very glad a bought this car, I have to drive it to work on inclement days when I can't ride my bike( motorcycle). It handles great, quite a bit a power for it's size and very nimble and quick. My only complaint would be the 6 speed transmission. You cannot use traditional methods like you would any other car. You have to give it ample throttle or it will die on you. Kia did a great job on designing this car with the exception of the addition of the clutch protection valve, which make driving it at low speeds a chore, but the engine rewards you with power when you need it. But aside from that it is a fun car to drive around.Dec 05, 2012
