    Looks like fun to drive! Light weight with a good engine (I had no idea Kia's even had a turbo haha!)

    Your dash is set up really nicely too. Honestly looks more sporty than the bland interior of my Challenger. And are you in Europe? I can't tell front the angle but it looks like your steering wheel is on the right.

      United Kingdom, and we are indeed Right Hand Drive over here :) The car is also only available in Europe, too.

      The car is actually pretty awesome to drive, the chassis is really well balanced for Front Wheel Drive and very communicative - is so easy to force oversteer and counteract understeer just by modulating the throttle. Independent Rear Suspension and a fast steering rack help as well.

      The little Turbo 4-banger is available in the USA via the Kia Forte Koup SX Turbo. Though Europe gets a tweaked version for our higher octane fuel and a different transmission with tweaked gear ratios and a shorter throw. 0-60, if you're good off the line, is a respectable real world 6.7~6.8s (rather than 7.4s as Kia claim on paper). Not far off the 6.5s of the my friend's V6 Dodge Charger (he's from PA).
