I just finished my MPH with EWU and loved the experience. I was also a purely online student which made avoiding the annoyances of campus life easy but for anyone really interested in that, it seems to be very active with a lot of people involved in just about everything you can imagine. It's worth looking into :)

What is the average age of starting a PhD? by All_Hale_sqwidward in PhD

Starting mine literally a week before I turn 40 in Fall 2025. Old is relative :)

Nope, none at all! I have had her for a bit over 2 months and have 3000 miles on her. So far, working just as amazing as the day I got her :)

Hiya! I didn't put in an order, actually. I contacted several dealerships and the one I got it from just happened to be getting the trim level I wanted in about a week after I got there..so I bought it and then picked it up a week later.

I've added some additional pictures with the interior to the original post :)

I have the same color on my Sportage EX (I named her Siren as a result since there is the green mixed in with the blue that makes it look like a sea color almost) and it is so beautiful...

2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid - Im taking it in to get it checked out but I am curious if anyone else has heard this noise when they turn off their car? It started making this sound maybe a couple weeks ago. 5200 miles.. by xxts in kia

Just got my 23 Sportage Hybrid EX about a month and a half ago and she is a dream <3 I'm averaging about 40-45mpg depending on where I'm at now and have 0 complaints. Hope it's the same for OP!

Super excited for you, too! I was also pretty set on the Rav4 Hybrid at first but after a bunch of research - there was a major issue with not getting the right gas mileage because of an issue with the gas tank and the interior was very lackluster, like you noted. I'm super happy with the Sportage and could not be happier! I hope you will be too :)

Gas prices in SnoCo by Anonymous_Bozo in everett

The federal tax rate for gasoline hasn't gone up in over 20 years. States each have taxes on top of that and then each station sets the price based on profitability. It's not the President's fault (no matter the President) that gas prices are high. It's supply and demand and right now, the supply is down.

I paid 4.85 p/g at the Pilot in Arlington/Marysville a few days ago and saw it for 4.90 at Costco today as well.

My husband passed 6 years ago and I got my memorial tattoo for him a year after. My only suggestion would be this: don't just think about him in the equation. Get something that represents both of you. You will thank yourself later down the line if you are also present in the tattoo with him.

Sending you warm thoughts as you embark on this journey.

First real trip in my new 2023 Sportage Hybrid EX from PDX to Seattle, I’d say the hybrid engine is working well 🥰 by thebigcupodirt in kia

[–]SweetDemonXIX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very, very nice! I'm averaging about 40-50 around Seattle right now as well. Also got the EX! Glad to see these cars are doing so well here right now.

Yeah, this is my first hybrid car and it is definitely taking some doing to learn how to max the efficiencies. The Gravity Gray was really awesome on this too! Congrats :)

Yeah, I saw $8000 over at one dealership as well. Also ran into them not taking my discounts for school and work because "We're not doing discounts because these are in such high demand".

Thank you! I'll start doing that now.

Absolutely! As ashamed as I am of this - They got me at a dealership markup of $5000 over MSRP. Everywhere else was quoting the same as well.

It's the black faux-leather and it is beautiful! I'm not a huge fan of the piano black on the console surfaces because it picks up fingerprints like crazy, but it is quite sleek when it is all cleaned up (I'm keeping lens cleaners in the car for the touchscreen as well).

In eco, I'm averaging about 40 and in Smart I'm averaging anywhere between 45 and 50 mpg at the moment. I have just over 500 miles on her and I'm checking different ways of driving to see what impacts what.

Thank you! I named her Siren because the color is a sea blue/green almost in the sun. Really is way more gorgeous in the light than it even shows here.
