Not sure why some many people mention the car is Heavy. I agree it's not 100% Aluminum light ... but its about the same as a BMW 5 Series.

I understand it may affect handling, however most people never mention it ... and just say "it's a heavy beast" ... Also I don't agree with everything he said, although some points are valid.

Folks just want to find something negative to say. You read the posts and you can tell some of those folks probably haven’t looked at new cars of today and are talking about years ago.

Yeah, I don't think the car is that heavy either for it's size. It's right about 4000 lbs with all options. Between that, the suspension designed for spirited cruising with it's dual rate springs, the car may give the impression of being heavy with its initial lean in the turns but as the stiffer part of the spring is used in the turn, the car is said to feel fine.

I thought this was an interesting review because the reviewer discussed all negative comments that KIA generally gets in the beginning and after reviewing the car, came to a very good conclusion. These preconceived notions is precisely what KIA is trying to change world wide, particularly in the US.

This is quite a fun review I enjoyed watching. It's also quite spot on, calling this a fast, nice cruiser, and not a radical sportscar etc.
