My new econobox! (2000 Kia Sephia 1.8I4 16V DOHC 5 Speed)

[MetroMPG]

I figured it was a gift.

I predict it will drive you crazy.

[dirtydave]

I bet it will.

Ill use it as fire under my ass to get another car. (mirage)

I am hoping it wont nickel and dime me into fixing little things.
Trying to save up for a newer car and the $5 here $20 here is isn't helping.
Its tough out here in Baltimore.
That's the main reason for getting this car.

I've never had a chevy.
It has been cared for very well its entire life.
service records go back to 98'
under 100K miles
never sat just not driven much.
new tires

new starter

Was that part of the sales brochure?

[dirtydave]

I think so. not much else going for it honestly.

the interior is strange too weird dials for the lights and wipers.




well it is a 96 so I can use a scangauge

[BabyDiesel]

24 mpg combined

I'd say 40 mpg is possible with lots of EOnC P&G and aero mods

What is the new name going to be?

[dirtydave]

I don't know about 40 buddy that seems high.

a name? not sure. how about keep it for 4 months and buy a new car. lmao

[BabyDiesel]

You're low-ballin'!

I christen it, "The White Pongo"

*Pongo in Korean means fart

[cRiPpLe_rOoStEr]

The 3-speed slushbox is the one to blame for such mileage figures. 40 would be achievable with a manual.

[dirtydave]

I bet it will be a daily struggle to get 30mpg from that car..

1996 Chevy Corsica if you didn't figure it out yet.

That would be really hard to achieve with the 3-speed automatic. I honestly don't understand why this transmission was still available back there in '96...
