news flash : hp per liter means nothing if you still are running high 14s. at low 90s mph.
not saying your civic is slow, im just not saying its fast.
now about this KIA… i dont think they were thinking performance, but its in the class with the civics and tC scion, so ya have to try to compete with the market some how. its tough when your direct competiton is Honda and Toyota(scion) who are known to be some of the most reliable cars on the planet.
