Re: Kia Forte?
V6-absolutely. My dad sold the car to a Jeep enthusiast who wanted the engine -- it had 115k miles on it, the body was well rusted, the muffler was patched with a beer cap, and he got $15 for it. My replacement was a 66 Buick Skylark with the 340 V8. I remember trying to talk my parents into the GS 350 instead, but they knew better (and were frugal), so they bought the basic sedan which was handed down to me in 1970 with 60k miles. I beat the crap out of it until I graduated college, and then replaced it with a brand new 1974 Triumph TR6. It was my dream car, but unfortunately I used it as a daily driver and it rusted badly after 6 years. After many, many years of boring cars and minivans, I found my second dream car, the 2005 Crossfire roadster, and bought it new. It does not see snow/salt for the reason above and looks brand new after 34k miles. (Almost weekly I wish that I had driven the TR6 in the summer only and still had it today, as the original owner.)
