Looks really good! About how much are they? MPG?

Thanks! In the SX trim (mine) with the six speed it's about 20 on the head, give or take... the EX (base trim) is like 16 give or take. The only way to get the bigger engine (2.4 vs 2.0) and the six speed is to order it the way I did. As far as MPG goes, sticker says like 25/35 but I have a heavy foot so I'm getting a little less. Overall, it's comfortable, drives well, handles really well, is surprisingly quick (only weighs like 2800lbs), and has lots of creature comforts like blue tooth, and radio/phone controls integrated into the steering wheel. I'm happy with it.

I strongly considered waiting till the 2011 GT 5.0 came out but honestly, I drive way too much to have that as my daily. Plus this harsh winter with record snow fall really made me think twice about having a RWD car as a daily also (been there done that!). Anyway, in the end the Kia was the best compromise between safety, fuel economy, styling, and price for me. That being said, I can't wait to get a chance to drive that new 5.0!
