Drove one of this gen.  I swear it pulled like a fox-body mustang with the 5spd.

Last gen was the early 2000s one that was very angular.  Only with 4cyl too.

Most routes have curbside delivery.  I.E. driving up to a mailbox at the end of a driveway....you need a smaller more nimble vehicle for this.

Why would ANY buyer actually do that though?  I mean hypothetically anything is possible, but in my hood Jeeps for example are everywhere.  Every price, type, year etc 

Grand Cherokee L is direct competition ain't it?

I see Grand Cherokee L written all over this thing

I love the new KIA logo, so much so that if I was to buy a used one I’d search out a model with said logo.  Kind of  reminds me of Mazdas horrible 90s logo before switching to the gull.

MAIL Carriers drive them everywhere by me. Right-hand drive and everything.

This!

If you’re a poor or just cheap i.e. fiscally conservative...then sure. But no 100K is definitely not “just” broken in. Take off the ‘in’ part.

Thats why anything over 100k is on the budget lots and high interest lots. Fine for your secondary use car or David Tracy but not for anyone with means as their primary is the point I was making.  It's OK to drive one and daily it but let's not get carried away with "low miles".  That's just goofy.

Dudes, 100K is not low miles. Not 20 years ago, not 10 years ago and not in 2022 either.  Thats the official mileage of "shits about to wear out on the regular" .   >75K low mileage.

They'd never ever let you withdraw more than you had previously.  They have built in failsafes.

Because it was three years old and had 20k on the odometer.  Probably a wash.  But most prefer new.

I read the sentence the same way.  He had it reversed.

Well then why wouldn't the buyers just buy one new then.  Why pay thousands more?  That'd be dumb.

Yep, in pictures though it appears to my eye the proportions are kinda wrong. Looks like a Suburban that got its ass whooped and is all puffy. 

Do modern ones start without the clutch being engaged.  Seriously.  What year was this thing.?

Well described.  So that was why it felt so average even when juicing the accelerator.  Unbelievable, they F'd up a great looking car with tons of potential.

I had the same thought.  I was in the market and this was in my top three.  It was extremely boring to drive even when I floored it.  Mazda dun fucked up with this one, SMFH.  I bet the base engine stick was MUCH more engaging.  I blame modern transmissions I guess.
