Simple. Kia's are unadulterated crap and you'd have probably burnt the clutch out without the trailer.

You have to lose your left leg and you will be fine.... Seriously autos are better for towing.... Good advice I promise

I didn't go to work again but I suddenly felt better at about 4pm, just in time for the weekend

I think the salesman was right, it will tow a boat (downhill)

Love that mag

Reminds me of a lady I nursed who couldn't speak properly, she had just vomited and we'd cleaned her up and she kept asking for, what I thought was 'potato bake' and I said to her 'but you've just been sick, I don't think it's a good idea' until someone said, 'she's asking for her take a break mag'!
