Howdy?
I'm RJ from Houston,TX. Don't be fooled by the greeting, I'm Filipino and just moved here 8 years ago.
I have the 2009 BASE model - literally - no Power Steering, no A/C, no Power locks/windows, manual tranny (i wanted anyway). It does come with an MP3 cd/radio WITH aux AND usb. That right there is worth it IMO. It has 2666 miles when I got it.
Now let's get down to business:
1. Lug pattern? I assume is 4x100? I have my sights set on 15" Enkei GF1 wheels (seem to be universal 4 lug anyway... lol)
2. Does anyone know of someone that sells window vent/rain visor/vent? Since my car has no A/C I want to keep the windows cracked when parked and want to keep rain out when its raining.
(found oneGenuine Kia Part # UR060 AY070) - Does anyone know if this installs using a 3m doubleadhesive tape? My uncle has rainguard (brand)and it does NOT require sticking/tape. It sits on the top window when you roll it up.
3. The little manual (literally little
) tells me I should change oil and filter every 7500 miles. Is this true? I'll probably end up changing every 5000 miles just because...
4. Does the stock radio have subwoofer out? I have a pair of Rockford Fosgate p3's in my old car. If it will fit in this, I want them on. If not, I'll have to settle with only one sub. :'(
5. What does everybody mean when they say "It's just barely broken in at 20k miles". Break in period should be around 5k miles - 7k max IMO.
6. Any tips/tricks? I don't plan on keeping this particular vehicle. I'm 23 and I need credit. Will be finishing school in 1 year so I might be buying a car with at least A/C+P/S in a year.
