Yes, but didn't Honda copy everyone else in making a car in the first place

Still, have to agree with DJ_riddlin

its alright i guess....at first i thought it looked odd, dunno why i couldnt put my finger on it though.

but then i looked at all of the features and its pretty impressive coming from a kia...i especially like the 5spd overdrive tranny, nice touch

I'd rather hook up with an Echo hatch... I mean you can get a 3 door or a 5 door. How could you go wrong. Have you SEEN the TRD supercharger

ya, that echo hatch is decent looking.......another car I would be looking at, if it was simply something to get to work and back, is that new Suzuki swift (or chevy something or other, its just rebadged)......have had good luck with Suzuki motors in the past...and its cheap

true but I wouldn't buy a dodge or a hyundai without a good warrenty either. For the price of these cars compared to similar in this class, not bad. My brother has a Kia Sephia and Its proven to be a really tough little car. 5.spd standard with no problems in the 2 years of ownership.
