Purchased car especially to tow a caravan. Find that it does not know what gear it wants to be in. Very slow to get to optimum revs. Towing a caravan is not possible as it will only do 9.9 miles to a gallon. Driving in town gives about 20 on a good day. Please has anyone any more information on the cars performance when towing.
Well for one thing, A car or any car is not meant to be towing a vehicle that is bigger and heavy then the one towing. If you would to tow, you should buy a truck.
Yeah, the Magentis may be able to tow a certain amount of weight, or so it says, but remember, it's a car and it's not geared to tow things all the time. My dad made the same mistake with his Mitsubishi Galant and wanted to tow his boat with it. When he drove 72 miles and emptied the gas tank, I laughed.
And as for the 20 MPG, that is average for the Magentis.
A few weeks ago I bought a magentis le auto from the BCC group -a company I would strongly recommend to anyone for a great deal-anyway I am over the moon about the car ;it has like most cars got its limitations, but for the sheer luxury of the vehicle I cannot praise high enough.As a car priced so competitively I don't see many that come anywhere close by comparison. Kia has improved nearly every aspect of their range and the magentis has benefited from them all.Yes the magentis uses a bit more petrol, but it's a small price to pay if you like the luxury of executive driving.For sensible drivers -ignore the comments about lurching at speed into corners, speed kills, this is a real drivers car -not a raceing car.Top marks Kia for making the magentis the great vehicle that it is.
