I am suppose to get a call back from the MGR's today. but we will see..

on the lighter side...

I thought it would be hell driving a Kia Forte but man. Not a bad little car...

spacious. (I am 6'2 and 200 lbs)

Handles pretty well..

Has lot of gadgets.. not bad...

Kia has come a long way..

08-22-11 Update.

I got the car back sat.

4 new tires and alignment courtesy of Nissan NA.

Irvine Nissan paid 3 out of 11 days of rental. (Better then nothing)

Top wise.. It looks better then when it was new but I can't open it for few more weeks supposedly it won't close right now because fabric is too tight and has to loosen up...

I am gonna leave it alone for a week or two and see how it goes. (atleast they will pay for the rental, if it doesn't work perfectly by the time I bring it back...)

Ya know, that's just nonsense. I've had my new top now for over over a month and from the first day of install, I've opened/closed the top almost daily without issue. I did ask my tech about stretching and 'break-in' and he said go ahead and use it. Guess he was right.
