General Bought a new car.

Kia has actually gotten better over the last few years. Mazda’s are solid also.
Had an older Kia Sportage about 8 years ago, had my other Mazda 3 for four years. I think I’m tied to them.
I would have also been happy with a Ford, but the Edge or Escort.
The deal was specifically with this Mazda dealership, though. Royal Palm.
I own a 2012 Kia Rio. I use it to deliver food and its behaved very, very well with all the kms I've put on it. Not powerful/fast at all but that's small hatchbacks for ya. Mate drives a 2014 Sportage. Bloody nice inside and seems to have a bit of grunt to it. Definitely not the company it was back in 2002-2003
Cilantro, eh? She'll probably garnish your wages for that purchase.
It's actually a really nice vehicle (sorento that is)
You sure that car didn't just get stung by a bee?Nice.
I been eyeing the new Krispy Kreme Kar...
My neighborhood is newer than my car. It doesn’t show up on the navigation. Oops.
You have to pay for updates. They all rip you off like that. Waze is better than all of them but I still like updated car nav.
Nope! It’s free. It’s already installed on the flash drive that came with the car, lol.
Wow! Most of them charge after the first year. They also tend to be a year behind.
Nope! I just checked and it’s all there. Glad I’m smart enough to Google and keep reading, because the first ten things were “buy Mazda 3 nav update $100+”
Did you check the latest version history to what's on the card? Probably the previous owner did it if it's up to date which is a very nice perk.
No, they hadn’t done it. When I downloaded the tool from Mazda, it said “four updates found!” And just did them. Took it back out to the car and it was perfect.
Damn now some of this is coming back to me. I had a CX-9 great SUV BTW. Mazda gave one free update after that it was a pay only thing. Their NAV system wasn't great though. I just bought my parents a Grand Touring CX-5 (in that red). Mazda has since changed map companies since I had the CX-9. The new map is much better. Maybe they have also changed the update policy? Kia has a shitty update policy as in none. You were able to download free updates. They stopped that. Now it's $145 per update and they do 2 per year. My parents car is 3 months old so it should be OK and I doubt they even know how to use it now that I think about it. ughhhhh
Not poking fun, I have never owned a brand new car, a new used car, yes
may I suggest a little something to help you get through traffic
Good luck with the new ride!

The standard nav systems in every car I've used kind of sucks. Lexus, Nissan, Audi, Ford, Mercedes, Toyota, Hyundai.. they work but they're not good.
That said, I use mine every drive just in case I get tied up working on my phone and can't use it.

Pretty much the consensus on all the car forums. They seem to be a year behind Google and Waze. We have a new Lexus RC 350 F Sport. That updates on the fly (cellular) but not sure if the map does. I would think it does. They give you some free time I think for a year then you pay monthly for the service. Waze still kicks it's ass.
Lol. I need that here.Not poking fun, I have never owned a brand new car, a new used car, yes

This is new-used. It was a lease turn in. The people that had it before were meticulous. When the service light came on, they took it in. The Carfax was four pages because of it.
NIce! It should last.
No offence, Some women have no clue how to check their cars oil, most have no clue how to open the hood.
Do you keep up with maintenance? Have a reliable mechanic?
I know how to do all of that!
Also, I have a few good mechanics. My dad is very popular because he runs a bait and tackle shop here.
