Good Not Excellent Car

The 6 speed manual transmission is geared MUCH too close together. In town I shift from 1st to 3rd to 5th and run in 5th from 30-45 MPH. They could do without 2nd and 4th gears and raise the ratio of 6th and make a nice 4 speed transmission. Might be great in Korea or other countries where one never drives above 55 MPH. I would hate this car in Germany because I would be maxing out engine RPMs in 6th gear on the Autobahn. 6th gear should have the engine running about 2,000 RPMs at 70 MPH which would make the fuel economy excellent instead of just good. Interior is NOISY, even without my hearing aids. I don't know if it is the NEXEN stock tires or just the engine noise. I will know better after I change out the tires to Good Years or some other US manufactured "quiet" tire.

They cause cupping and wear on the back tires. I've went through a set of tires every 6 months. Kia blames alignment. Mechanics blame kia and say they need rear shims and are a problem with all fortes from 2010 to 2017.

Kia doesn't come with spare tires. No jack. I took my car into the dealer with the issue of starting. I have replaced 3 brands new batteries .Once my car seat for a few hours I have to use another car to jumpstart every day .kia dealer ran a diagnosticon the entirer car I was told all systems functions perfectly. Yet I'm still having the same issue. So basically I have been paying for a car note that I cant drive for a few months now.
