Let me start by saying overall I love my Sporty. This is the first NEW vehicle I have purchased, and I feel confident in my selection.
I have been reading through the forum, looking for some answers to a few of my questions. I figure I may as well put up a post to see if it helps.
1) Mine came with what I assume to be the base radio (no navi and no UVO), and I am super dissapointed. Can the UVO be retrofitted into my Sporty? I guess my question is, does the factory harness support either the navi or UVO?
2) My Sporty had 94 miles on it when I picked it up Saturday.. I have only gotten about 130 miles on a half a tank of gas. To me this doesnt seem right at all. I am writing this off, in part to some of the fuel in the tank being old, but will my mileage improve as the motor breaks in? Motor seems to run good, no fuel smell etc...
3) Truck seems to be a bit slow. Maybe my hopes were a bit high for it... as the motor breaks in will the performance go up a bit? I'm not beating the hell out of it (as it only has <200 miles on it), but I have run through the gears a couple times.. it seems like just as the motor is coming into its powerband it shifts. Is this normal?
4) I have signed up on the mykia link on kia.com, is there anywhere else I should be signing up, or anything I should be specifically doing as a new owner?
5) When I first start it in the morning, it holds RPM somewhere around 2k, as if it is on choke. I know this to be normal from reading other posts, but my question is why does it do this? Is it to oil the turbo, or bring entering air temps up to a certain point?
Thanks guys
