How should I feel about a Kia forte koup with 150,000-180,000 kms. Is it too much? How many kms should I look for

The ten years I owned my 2010 Lancer I didn't have a single repair. Nothing went wrong with it. Strictly regular maintenance and a couple sets of tires. Most reliable car I ever owned. I agree about the styling. I had the Sportback, which I feel is better looking than the sedan. I got compliments about its looks even after it was 9 or 10 years old. It still looked better than many new cars and most people thought it was fairly new just from it's looks.

I had a 2010 Sportback GTS, also in Rally Red. My paint held up really well. I lived in California when I owned it (from 2011 to 2021) and I kept it in a garage when I was not away from home. After 10 years the paint looked as good as the day I bought it new. I had three gripes - I'm tall and the steering wheel doesn't telescope so when I had the seat pushed back to get all the legroom I could my arms were almost stretched straight out. Second was the road noise. It was pretty bad - there was really not insulation. Third was the ride. I had the 18" wheels and it was pretty rough. As far as power went I was quite happy with it. I had the 2.4 engine and it had plenty of power to merge onto a freeway.

Hey man , I have an 08 g35s and same thing I’m dealing with now. I really don’t want to get rid of her but I also don’t know how severe the damage is as I still haven’t taken the front end apart. Wish me luck on this journey. Hopefully it’ll all go smooth

@marcushowell 5 ай бұрын

All the best! It took me a while but i was committed to the project. I'm sorry to hear that you're in a similar situation and I hope you get the opportunity to rebuild her back to perfect.

Hey man how did you get to fix the hood gap. I seen your pervious video with you getting your new bumper and i have a very similar hood gap on my salvaged title g37.

@marcushowell 5 ай бұрын

May be a super late response I apologize. I believe it shows the solution in the video that my car blew up in the trailer. I had to cut the springs to make the gap sit a little lower. It's still there but much less noticeable.

It's the noise. 9 times out of 10 when somebody hates car enthusiasts and their cars, it's because their vehicles are obnoxiously loud. There's people in a neighborhood or an apartment complex somewhere who have to hear that noise every day.

Depends on a couple things like if I have my tools in the trunk and if I'm driving mainly on the highway. Right now I'm doing hours of highway driving every day so I'm getting about 500-550kms. But typically i do all in town driving and get about 400kms.

two things why didnt you drive the car? or have the owner drive it while talking about the car like other car review channels? why does this thing get such shitty gas miliage?

@marcushowell Жыл бұрын

Honestly wasn't experienced enough making this video, I didn't even think about driving it. We defiently should have though... I think the gas mileage comes down to the owners heavy foot!

@SqeeG Жыл бұрын

DEFINITELY probably his heavy foot 😅 . I average 26 miles per gallon driving it mostly economically on city and highway roads. But if I drive it mostly on highways and am very conscious of gas consumption with how I drive and driving behind other cars and make sure all of my parts are good on my car (i.e. engine air filter, oil, spark plugs, etc.) and PSI on the tires, weight, aerodynamics, etc., I can get 42 miles per gallon according to the on-board computer on my Kia.

The complaints he had are minor but overall it's a great car. I was 60 when I bought mine and just turned 65. It is a 2008, very clean Athens Blue with auto and factory GPS. The screen as he points out is outdated and I will have to say the GPS function is slow to respond. Don't know why they made the follow line in yellow as it's hard to see in the day. No issues with using my phone GPS, but prefer using the installed one. Also with this older car and technology, you have to go to Infiniti to upgrade your GPS for 200.00 and the upgrade only goes to 2015. I bought a Bluetooth after market that plugs into the port in the console. Works great. With technology the way it's going, looking to upgrade to an installed Garmin GPS that will integrate with my home screen. For an old geezer like me, I love the look, style and speed this 15 year old car gives. Hoping to hang on to it for years to follow.

I hate cars mainly because I find driving boring and hate doing it. However the thing I hate more is car dependency in cities. The way cities are designed in the country I live are so predominantly for cars with massive roads, huge parking lots bigger than the stores they serve, and such massive underfunding of public transport that everyone HAS to drive to get places. And considering how much cars cost forcing people to drive just to work and feed themself is just wrong on so many levels. Also cad infastructure is so outrageously expensive too it costs so much to taxpayers. Look up any American city followed by “high way expansion” and you could probably find a project of widening a highway costing tens of BILLIONS of dollars meanwhile that same city public transit probably doesn’t run anymore than one bus per hour becuase there’s no funds for it Now if you want to be a “car guy” then I have nothing wrong with that. I make robots as a hobby so we both like machines just different kinds. But if you are gonna be a car guy don’t insist on being able to drive your car into a city and expect abundant parking everywhere to park your metal box hogging up all the public space and especially don’t drive it into a city to infest it with noise and air pollution and make it dangerous for the people who live there.
