Kia- Killed in Action

 

GOOD GOD!

 

Ahhh....my old friend reality...it's nice to have you back. People can't seem to admit that certain RX-7s are dog slow...

 

kias and hundias or however u spell them should go to hell and die as the worst car ever made the need to stop those pieces of **** from being on the road

 

rx7 greg, a kia is actualy a mixture of cars.



has mazda 323/protege suspension, protege transmission, and miata 1.8L engine. to call a kia **** is to call your own car brand, ****.



btw, my hydraulic clutch master and slave is off an rx7. it was cheaper to buy one for an rx7 oddly enough, than a kia (they are identical pieces).





when did this turn into a kia bashing thread?

 

to tell the truth i dont care that much for mazda that much the only mazda i like is the rx-7 other wise i dont care for any other mazda car. im more of a amerivan v8 guy but got a rx7 for free and i like it. but i dont care for other mazda crap

 

I somewhat agree with you. RX-7's are the only thing that I like about mazda. But I'll back up anything with a rotary.

 

Remember- mods will make that 85 decently quick(sorta) !

 

yeah.... other than rx7's im not really fond of other mazdas

 

While we're on the "don't bash your own" thread... lets all remember that Ford owns mazda since the rx7 2nd gen years (check your parts, some of them say Ford on em...) so we should all hold hands with the mustang crowd.... Heheheh.... maybe that's going too far, but we do have to thank Ford for allowing the rotary project to continue forward with the rx8 even in the face of the sales/maintenance horror that the third gen rx7 was in the States. I'm not a big fan of Mazda other than the rotary cars either, but I honestly have been really impressed with them recently. In handling the new Protege holds up to a ferrari, porsches, and lotus elise (article in R&T or C&D this past year), the new 6 is pretty impressive (220 na horses and), and the rx8 looks so far to be a pretty awesome car, though we'll see if it has any of the reliability issues the 3rd gen saw. I think Mazda is definitely doing good things for the world of sport compacts....definitely a better alternative to the genre than Honda!... Do your homework and check it out. In the meantime I'll be cruising around in my "slow" first gen trying to find a Sephia to race for payback.
