I am looking forward to buy a subcompact and comparing

It has very good features EB Package, LDW, Super UVBlock, Ask for Climate Spec.

2015 are already on the market.

KIA REO SDR SX.. COMPARES WELL WITH THE PRICE. But is slightly cheaper by $2k.

MILAGE WISE both are o.k. close to 40 on the highway.

Both are great in town cars.

O.K. for the Highways for the first two years, then the pep drops off.

I was never a fan of any car with 16/17 inch wheels. The engines race at 6000 revs. Engine life is too short running at those speeds. Max 4 years. Needs frequent tune ups. You will need a set of tires every three years. Kia is slightly peppier than Nissan.

Now it is your choice to select. I will not test drive either of them.

Thank FH.

For highway I have Toyota highlander. I am planning to buy one of these for city driving,
