shittygsxr Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think he was pointing out the error of 2691 ft lb of torque. It is a gay car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Over 2000 ft-lbs of torque? There is not a chance that is true and it makes me doubt the hp rating as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Typo yes, but torque is increased when gearing an engine down.Use a calender to time the event. It might take a while to get anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Kia is a lot better than they used to be! I hope the QC on the cars is better than on the website though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) I am not a big fan of Kia's, they have come a long way but they are still very cheap. I have been in 3 friends Kia's and each one looked like the interior was put together but a one armed monkey. Pieces of the dash were misaligned, the side curtain air bag looked like it was going to burst out at any moment because the trim along the A-piller was bulging out in the middle, the stitching in the leather looked like they let Helen Keller loose on a sewing machine, it was just bad. I understand why my friends bought them, because they are inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. Hyundai's on the other hand are really winning me over, almost bought a Genesis Coupe last year.
