Day 4:

2009 Kia Magentis LX
Click Image to Enlarge

I will freely admit it: the Magentis didn’t offer a very exciting week behind the wheel, but it did offer a week of fairly good fuel economy, easy driving and basic transportation. The trunk, with 60/40 rear folding seatbacks, was large enough for the many purchases I made this week, too.

I did a little more highway traveling this week than I normally do, but then again, it was also a little on the chilly side, which is not conducive to good fuel economy. Despite the cold weather, I averaged 9.2L/100km. Not bad — not bad at all!
