@BDS - that's insane! What an upgrade!!! At least I don't have crank windows lol Yup! My little miata. He's a pain. And doesn't like to listen. but I would be lost without him lol My car is older than my cousin - who has two kids, built a house and a dream job |

Don’t blame you, this one should last a long time at least. My Kia hasn’t missed a beat so far plus 7 year warranty but only time will tell, I’m halfway through that warranty now |

Definitely won't have any kia/hyundai vehicles again in the near future, that's for sure. |

This is the first car with a turbo I've ever had. First SUV I've ever owned as well. Definite learning curve. My first car was a 99 Chevy Prizm LSI, next was an 03 Corolla CE (that was a step down, lost power everything and my moon roof, but gained a more reliable version of the 1.8L toyota engine and less oil consumption) |

Ouch, guess there’s a reason I don’t hear much about that model Sounds expensive and frustrating |

My husband had a 2017 Hyundai Elantra for a little while. Horrible car. Engine ate oil/blew. Transmission grenaded. Electrical problems. Chronic alignment issues. Just bad. |

Nice stormy! Damn fancy remote start haha, i do wish mine had a keyed ignition as nice as the press of a button is it may create some limitation if I have issues later down the line |

Mine is currently a 2024 Chevy Trax. Snagged a lifetime mechanical warranty so long as I maintain oil changes. It's the lowest trim with a convenience package, so we got heated seats and lane keep assist. Has a back up camera, remote start (being able to start my car with my phone is wicked. My husband started it for me in winter when I was over 100 miles away from his location!) but plain cruise control (not adaptive) and we have a physical key. I'm coming from a car with crank windows, no cruise control, no heated seats, no backup camera, and a keyed doors/ignition. lol. |
Boulder Creek |
Haha oh the many things he does not do... But I got flippy-up headlights! -HEE Click- |
ZequineZ |
Well it also has both of those haha, it’s jsut a Kia though not like a Lexus or anything |
Boulder Creek |
What are these luxuries!?!? Next you're going to mention push button starts and keyless entry! |
ZequineZ |
Now heated steering wheel is a luxury mine doesn’t have! But honestly it’s turned out to be the best car for me at the moment. The cruise control is awesome just one button and it’s set instead of turning it on then setting the speed as seperate button presses. I do miss my manual transmission and manual handbrake but that’s the trade of for getting the GT version lol. I want to get an old (or old style) four wheel drive again and take it camping and all sorts but that’s just a dream at this stage |
Boulder Creek |
Wow. That's a cool car! I drive stick, and was thinking about it today actually - I've driven a standard transmission car for like 15 years (first vehicle I learned to drive). Had a trip to the mechanic last week, and my radio is trying to quit this week. But I know like everything about my car; I know all the sounds and how things work, and I've stripped the interior to the base. I hate change too. and can't pay off a car loan that quickly |
