City Auto is the best

So far it is a very good car. Drives good everything works good and very good on gas mileage. The radio and everything worked good. We are very pleased.

Best Car I ever bough brand new

I actually bought a 2015 in 2015 but got sick in 2016 and because of medical bills had to return it. I told my dealer I bought it from that I would be back to purchase another one because I loved it soooo much.

Best car I've ever owned!

Always a pleasure to drive on short or long trips. It had the 2.4 l engine (200 HP) and it had loads of power when called on. Gas consumption was fantastic even after 4 years; I was getting well over 800 km per tank. The fit and finish when I traded it in after 5 1/4 years were still excellent, with most people thinking it was much younger than a 2013 bought in 2012. Everything still worked in it; was still on the original exhaust system and battery. I did have 158,000 kms on it and was on the second set of brakes, so only normal wear and tear. One of the nicest features was how stable it was on uneven road surfaces, crossing the snow wall left by the plow always felt very safe and I felt totally in control; this was somewhat unexpected from wide low profile tires 18" 45s... If I would not have needed the extra room of a van, I would have bought another one without hesitation.

Most fun car I've owned

This car meets all of my needs and was an excellent purchase. My favorite feature is the air cooled seats as it's very hot in Texas. The premium sound system is very nice as well and fills the vehicle with great sound. The sunroof/moonroof is a nice feature that brings in extra light and makes for a fun driving experience.

Worst car i ever bought.

Kia Hendricks of concord has the worst a service, auto repair lies to you, and i would not recommend this car or dealership. Its been more recalls on this car in ny two years of having it. Now my car radio has no sound coming from the speaker going on 2 weeks now. Its a very poor quality car.
