What Have You Done With Your Car Today?

Drove my friends 2013 Kia Rio today, quiet and comfortable car to drive but the gear box was rubbery, steering vague and lacked on centre weight - nice for the short drive but much much happier in my Fiesta! (even if it is an 06)

I totally get you there - I really like the looks of the Kia Rio and considered buying one but had the same experience as you.. and the instrument panel looks really strange to me. I'm so happy that I went with the Fiesta instead, I love that little fun car! :)

Washed and polished looks so good. Next plan when a little warmer is to clay bar, and full wax treatment and clean inside wheels and wax them up.

Could you give me a link to the aerial?

Gave the car a proper wax with some simoniz the first time I've ever applied it after washing the car took me well over 2 hours that stuff don't half make you work!

Shattered.

Nope radio works perfect and dab works just the same as it did too.

Isn't the DAB aerial separate to the one on the roof?

I took mine to a bloke who has being doing it for 17 years so he took the mirror out and spoiler off cost me 160 for roof wingmirrors and sun strip but he had to order the wrap in I have taken all my cars to him and never had a problem plus get a 8 year guarantee

I wasn't there when he took it off sorry but when he pug it back on it just looked like he stick it on I know on older cars you just heated them up because they were just a sticky pad holding them on and my sunstrip is on the inside
