Hi All -
I just bought my first "New" car - a 2010 Kia Forte Koup EX. I'm loving having all of the "modern" functions in a car and it looks pretty hot in blue, I must admit.
I have a few questions to see if my experience is NORMAL or if there is anything I should be concerned about with some aspects of my car.
1) Whenever I turn off my car, it clinks and clicks for a while. Someone told me this is just the parts cooling off but I want to be sure of that.
2) My bluetooth lady says "Transfer Complete" every. single. time. I turn the car on. Is there a way to have it synced without having this?
3) It seems REALLY sluggish sometimes, mainly as I am getting going. I'm not an expert on gears or RPM or whatever, and this is an automatic car, so bear with me... On my commute each day, I pass through two horseshoe turns. I brake to go through them, and then coming out seems sooooo slow. It feels like it struggles going through the first few gears, but once I hit 45mph + it is smooth sailing. I have no problems on the highway whatsoever. What's up with the lower speed?! My nearly 20 year old previous car handled them better.
4) Anything else I should know to look for or be aware of?
Thanks so much guys!
