If having a shiny car makes you feel special and successful, even if you can't afford it without taking risks and neglecting savings and investments, that's the exact attitude which generally underlies foreclosures and repossessions.

Well I hate to agree but I know a girl who bought a shiny car, and then met a guy, got pregnant, stopped working, couldn't afford the repayments and had to phone her parents to bail her out (which they did, but she owes them the rest).
Not saying this will happen to Tralina of course, but if there's student loans involved I'd be very wary of living beyond my means. That said, if you're sure you can afford $15,000 or $17,000 (never be tempted to add a "k" and shorten it, the reality is in the zeros)... go nuts, enjoy!
Also, Kia have a terrible reputation in the UK as well... just sayin'
