Listen, we know what you’re thinking because we were thinking it too – a Kia? Really? Yes, really. Sure, it might have a grill that looks like it was stolen from Honda, and tail lights ripped from a Mitsubishi, but is that really a bad thing? Let’s face it, five years ago no one with half a brain would have been caught dead in a Kia. Now the only thing likely to be killed in action is you from whipping around the 274 horsepower, direct injected 2.0l SX.
