Satisfied!!

At first I felt that I was too big for this car being 5-9 weighing 287 pounds. But after purchasing this vehicle and seeing that I actually fit inside. I started to enjoy driving it, beside the amazing features that came with it. Thank you John Coon the salesman at Old Saybrook Kia for helping purchase an amazing ride, I greatly appreciate it!

KIA for Life

I think my headline says it all. At one point, I was Volvo for Life. Now, we have 2 KIA?s, and we love them both. The 2018 KIA is averaging almost 40 mpg on highway. The 2014 KIA is averaging almost 34 mpg on highway. It?s unbelievable!!? We, also very much appreciate Maurice our customer service expert at Moritz KIA in FW. He went way beyond our expectations. If you need a car, I recommend KIA and Maurice Curley, the Certified Premium Specialist.

Love the car

For the money the car is amazing, it gets great mpg and i have been so pleased with the way it drives. The touch screen controls on the dash are a bit complicated and i feel like it makes no sense for a car in 2018 to only have manual seat controls...its not a huge deal and certainly not a deal breaker but it seems silly.

First brand new car!!

The car has met our needs. It has great gas mileage. Easy to handle. Has a sporty look to the outside but all the comforts of a luxury vehicle in my opinion.

Most affordable car ever.

It is very nice for the price. Not loaded with extras but price is king. I would like a nicer car but not the higher price.

Most Reliable Brand my 2nd Kia

This car is excellent on gas. Not to large but not to small. Sleek design and I love my controls on my steering wheel. Excellent for small families very smooth on the road. Has a very good no delay acceleration.
