I, for one, am dying to know who you are.

i have researched more than even some of the most hardcore enthusiasts out there, and all my research, experiences, and findings have led me to the conclusion that this car is a very cheaply made vehicle that wears the badge of "rotary" as its primary and possibly ONLY selling point!

if you want to further argue this point, i'll be more than happy to continue!
Try using a source other than Consumer Reports or Motor Trend next time. Your "research" never led you to discover chassis rigidity numbers, I take it; or vehicle balance or the myriad of other 8 offerings as listed in post #42. Tell you what - when your worldly "experiences" have taken you beyond Hyundai and Kia test drives check back and admit that you were far from genius.

sweet jesus!

i don't know why so much hate is being directed towards me. i don't know about you guys, but i am feeling personally attacked! (hint, hint mods i think its time for some banning!)

all i'm doing is sharing my opinions, thoughts, and revelations that have come to me through my research and i am being cussed at and being called a newb left and right! mod's please take note of this...

and for the record, my calling someone "son" is far from a derogatory insult and furthermore i never had any ill-intention with it. it is simply a phrase, a phrase like "man" or "bro" but a phrase for those that are more mature and seasoned. so this claim here is entirely false and frankly i am insulted with it...

it's time to loosen up fella's !!

Calling someone "son" can be used to address friends, but given the nature of your posts, "son" can also be used to speak down to someone - addressing them as if they were a child.

You're trying to talk your way out of your past posts, but you'll need to try harder.

Also I find it interesting you aren't backing up your previous claims about the RX.

I wonder why I just wont drive any other car .... brother as Altima SE-R and Father has 3 months old CX-7.

I still like my car everyday .... each to its own.
