    Wagons make sense for some. Others not, depends on how one uses their vehicle. I trust you have plenty use for one. Its not 15 years old yet and the gas pedal isn't hooked to the engine so to me personally it reads BLAH BLAH KIA BLAH. Have they started putting barfbags and testicle holders in these new models yet? Theres a junk Magnum wagon shell at my work and it has crossed my mind to chop the rear roof section off and make a GP nomad. Reminiscent of the experimental long roof Trans Am of the late 70s which I thought was cool. Welp- there I went and proved I'm odd as well, woops.

    I may not have any sense, but have at that POS.
    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.

    You're not odd, nor ignorant.













    Just insanely stupid.

    I just heard a little while ago that Kia no longer puts spare tires in the trunk anymore in order for the driver to achieve better gas mileage. The only thing in the trunk is a bicycle style air pump with a tire repair kit. That's f'in stupid because other cars get great gas milage with a spare tire. Most people just get the car towed when they have a flat but some of us are smart and know how to save some money by putting a spare on.

    P.S. I think changing a flat tire should be mandatory in a drivers test.

    There are other cars that don't come with a spare anymore. Myself, I want a spare. Don't care about the .001 fuel mileage I might loose. Never had a tow for a flat. If my car gets a flat in a sh*t part of town (or anywhere for that matter) I sure don't need to be filling it full of slime and trying to pump it up to 40psi with some POS bike pump. I want to throw a jack under it, change it and be done and out. I was taught how to change a flat before I was allowed to drive my first car and will continue to teach this to my daughter. The wife just calls me if she's close but I taught her too.

    And truth be told the only wagon I'd rock is not from this century, but it's not a terrible take on the design. Still don't want/need all the crap they probably loaded it with.
