I feel this is pretty useless. I run a repair facility, and quality is the last thing I think of when talking about Kia.

I happen to own a Surface Pro 3 which I use for my business, and I can't say enough good things about it. It truly does fill my need for both a laptop and a tablet.

Nice car... congrats!

Yea huge step up, drives more like a car and despite the size it is quite maneuverable.

9000 gvw, I wanted the aluminum wheels. I am an independent service rep for Hunter Engineering Company. We supply wheel alignment systems, tire changer, balancers, etc for repair shops. Haha.. the package I have is all aluminum, made by Ranger, and it was installed by a separate company located close to the dealership.

I bought a new work van a few weeks ago, 2015 Transit, high roof, extended length. Loaded up with all the goodies. I can't say enough about this van, it is great in every way. The Ecoboost is simply marvelous, and the driving dynamics are light years ahead of my last E-series. Here are a couple of pictures, I will post some more when I get it organized.

Yep Dean, it's a 2014...couldn't pass up the deal. I did see the grey for 2015, my 2012 was grey and it looked really good. Is that Octane Academy included with my purchase? It sounds like a lot of fun!

As for EPA numbers, no chance! Too much fun...6th gear could be taller, almost 3000 rpm at 75mph.

Lol on the white...Love the black, just didn't want to constantly wash it! I wanted grey, but not available on the ST. Silver was a possibility, but then I would have 3 silver vehicles....neighbors might have made fun of me .

First impressions: Handles great, ride is a bit rough on bad roads. Pretty fast, pulls nice to redline. First gear is tough, lots of spin and torque steer. Recaro seats are very supportive, awesome actually. Not sure about a long trip, not able to reposition very much. Shifter is slick, love rowing through the gears. I like MyFord Touch, but will need some time to learn all the intricacies. Overall, I love the car! Attached a couple of photos.

435HP. Or did you miss that part?

He's a pretty big name.

One can only wish. 3.5EB!!

Sat in one today. It is very nice, dash and steering wheel are almost identical to my Focus. I have been anxiously awaiting the Transit for over 2 years now.

Not the first time this guy has trolled.

Probably E150??

Didn't know that. Makes me like Twin Force even more.

I wish they would have stuck with twin force (for twin turbo setups of course).

Anyone who pays $5k over sticker just isn't very smart, much less $10K. They can be had for MSRP, on the internet and also local here in western PA. A lot of the ones on Ebay have aftermarket superchargers and other "goodies" that are added to raise the price to the $70K range. And btw, those things are a dime a dozen around here, guys buy them and beat the shit out of them in the gas fields.

Here in PA diesel is always more than gas. Right now not so bad like 25 cents. I have seen it as much as 70 cents more over the years.

Yes.. Fields will be named officially.

So how long till they reach the lots?

Trust me, as someone who worked out of an E series for 12 years, it is a miserable layout and I welcome the choices the Transit will offer. The E series dominated because it was the best of 2 less than appealing choices, Ford or Chevy. The Sprinter would have gotten much more market share if it wasn't such a piece of shit, word travels fast.

If you think the Canyon is better looking than the Explorer or Escape then...... Well, to each his own but the Canyon is a train wreck.
