WRX: hmmmm, sounds like you pulled that one out of ur @$$, which conveniently is where a guys genetalia was not too long ago. that explains why you know SO much of “what gay guys do” even tho none of that sounds like anything a gay guy WOULD do. but whatev.

I’m using the SX4 crossover daily. Of course it’s already upgraded with leather seats and steering wheel and all so it’s much better. I actually found the handling to be sharper than the too soft new Fit which I believe is just being released in the US. The major point that people here are complaining about is the new Fit’s cheap interior which is markedly noticeable compared to the old model and the cheaper SX4 (here anyway). Thus the reason why they are overstocked and are offering discounts.

JoshyLofty: I’m glad you’re confident enough to admit that you know that much about the Kia Rio, because I’m confident enough to report that everyone who shares that pool of knowledge is a poncy fairy with giant pink monkeys in fairy-dust tutus flying in heart-shaped formations along rainbows emerging from their puckered pink starfish to the tune of Elton John medleys while pink carnations rain from the sky. juss sayin…

Thanks for the heads up Mark. I’ll alert border services!

Johnnycanuck,

On my way to your great nation tomorrow, but on the eastern side. I tried to hang my arm out the driver’s window but it scraped my knuckles too much!

Living in a fishbowl? So when officially did driving in a coffin become the norm as opposed to the exception? Believe it or not, some days it’s kind of fun just to hang your elbow out the window without having to worry about losing circulation in your arm.

WRX, is that why the Kia in this segment (Kia Rio 5) has won the small car quality award for the past few years with JD Power? juss sayin…

I test drove one couple of times. I had not issues with “quality of material”, since I am missing interior decorator upbringing. I did have a problem with very “soft” steering wheel. I drove SX4 after testing Astra up the same hill and Suzuki required down shifting into second gear from 4th, while Astra climbed the same hill in 4th. Interior is actually roomy and CUV has very clever and inexpensive rear seat conversion.

Hmm, I’ve always been curious about Suzukis. Remember the Samurai, back in the ’80s? Certainly seems to kick the crap out of the Kia in this price segment.

i hate the interior of the civic. this is better IMO. The lease favorite part of this car (for me) is the side profile. the sloping beltline is gross. otherwise its kindof cute.

Aston Martin Lagonda (the model produced by Aston Martin in the 80’s) = ugliest car I have ever seen.

Really this doesn’t compete in the Crossover segment. They just took a fairly tall hatchback and called it a crossover SUV because thats whats “hot”.

The size says it all. It’s smaller than an xB by nearly five inches, length wise that is. It’s only ten inches longer than a MINI Clubman.

It’s too bad the interior is soul less. Otherwise, it looks like a car that should have a lot of character. I think that’s the problem with most cars in this segment, soul less interiors. The Civic is the closest to not being disgusting, but to me is quite a headache…

the awd system is cool just if they would have added more power, not the only problem why the sedan dosent have awd

but they are not the first with that setup. many went for the line-of-sight navigation, thought no one that sell in the affordable car market

That’s a pretty cool navi setup. The price seem good for a nicely equipped vehicle.
