2013 Kia Optima 2.0L i4 Turbo, pack around 274 HP and 275 Pounds of torque at the crank, around 230 HP at the wheel while still maintaining a 820 clicks on a full tank and a avg of 8.6L/100 km (Canada eh?) city/highway combined.

Always loved turbocharged i4, had a subaru wrx 2008 and a dodge dart 1.6T 2011 before, just love these engines, I also had a 2009 Sierra wich I sold to my brother, V6 aren't for me, too thristy of an engine.

Fried. I may have overloaded it a wee bit during a cross-state move. She chugged along perfectly until we started hitting the hillcountry....she made it to the front yard of our new home and that was it.

But, to answer your question, it has a hydraulic clutch, so it's not as heavy as you'd expect. Easy in, easy out of gears.

That's about right than. You can't expect to much out of a v8, especially in the city. If it's doing worse than it used to, just check your air filter, spark-plugs, and clean your sensors. You should get a mpg or two more, and it'll just make your car perform better.

So I'm guessing you like station wagons a lot? I'd get a honda crx, the older ones get like 40hw, and cost a nickel. I have a 2000 accord, soo I'm sort of a fan boy so to speak. Toyota makes a hell of a vehicle as well, my first vehicle was an 03 tacoma.

I fell in love with Wagons when I was young.
Honestly after have a few Hondas on my lift I dont really want one, they are built quiet odd but they are nice cars.
Im actually a Toyota Tech, and a bit of a a fan boy.
A plus to the Tercel wagon is that is AWD and can hilariously off-road.

Nah, it already had clearance for 285's stock and some, I added the leveling kit with 3' up front 2' in the back. I've measured everything out, and it should fit. If not I'll just space it out a tad, and if that doesn't work I'll **** myself, sell the tires, and buy some nicer 285's. Really the ones I'm ordering are 34 inch more or less.
