Butt hurt? Lmao, hardly. I don't drive a Kia, nothing was taken personal. Purely pointing out that kias aren't "crap", but I don't blame you. Like I said, before I started working here, I thought the same thing.

Buying a new car just to save gas $'s is almost criminal to your wallet. You can buy a <used> real luxury car (i.e. Mercedes, Lexus, Ect.) for far less than a new Hyundai/Kia too.

2TR, that's what I had engraved in my head prior to even start researching economical sedans. However, I'm not too fond of the styling for the 2011 model. Then again, I haven't seen them in person, but I wasn't impressed with the online photos. Plus, it's not what I would consider a full size sedan.

What is your budget? I heard the volt is really nice.
Also.. depending on what your idea of luxury is... I drove a loaded 2011 Corolla and it was pretty nice. I also drove a loaded cruze but I don't trust the cruze not to fall on its face similar to the cobalt.

5w20, 29 mpg highway is what's advertised. It's 3 mpg shy of the minimum I was looking for. Definitely a beautiful car, but that car fully decked out would be in the mid 40s price wise. That's about 15 grand more than the Hyundai fully decked out. 
HTX, the Volt is electric, I'm looking for a gasoline engine (not hybrid either). Both the Corolla and Cruze I consider compact and not the full size sedan I'm looking for.
DopeFedZ, your girl has a sweet ride and judging by the wheels, I'd say you had some influence.
jc98ss, I like the IS300s, but they don't meet the fuel economy requirements.

I'd just get 4 LS1 F-body's and put cam's in them for that price.

K but srsly.
If you bought a new car with a warranty, and it's a piece of ****, that becomes the dealerships problem. Sure it sucks *** having to take it in all the time (if you end up having to do so) but you aren't paying for it, or working on it.
As previously mentioned, buy what you want, just get a warranty with it
