Bought a 2023 forte gt-line for my daughter.
Bought a 2023 forte gt-line for my daughter. We have had the car for 13months and have driven about 12,000 miles. I honestly cannot believe the 1star reviews, nor should you. I was a loyal Honda fanboy for over 30 years before I bought this Kia. I bought a totally loaded Forte non turbo for a hair under 25k with a crazy good warranty. Why not? I figured. 13 months and 12k miles later it rides better, has more power and is quieter than the day we bought it! Zero issues with anything. No squeaks, rattles or interior flaws. Sadly no tire wear. I cannot wait to replace the Kuhmos it came with. It handles great and is fun to drive. My wife calls it “a peppy little thing”. And she drives a CX-5 turbo or my 5.7 liter ram. Over 40 mpg on highway and mid 30s driving around town. This is a fine car. Not a cheap version Hyundai. Much nicer IMHO than the Hyundai. For those knocking the resale… run the numbers and try to buy one as cheap as you say you sold yours for. The Harmon Kardon stereo sounds awesome! This is one of my favorite purchases because its value continues to surprise me. And they give a $500.00 military discount. Don’t buy based on my opinions go test drive one! Test drives are free. Go to carvanna or get on car gurus and see how cheap you can buy one a year or two old used one for.

I purchased my GT turbo - automatic in 2021 as 2022 model and my only regret was that didn’t wait for the cooling seats package. Great looking vehicle with above average performance and great fuel efficiency. It’s one of the best affordable sports sedans in the market and one of the few where you can actually fit a 6’ adult in the backseat. I’m looking to add another with my desired package soon.

**Chef Gregory Adams' Review of Riverdale
**Chef Gregory Adams' Review of Riverdale KIA** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dear Riverdale KIA Team, I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the incredible experience I had with Peter at Riverdale KIA, located in the delightful suburbs of Northern New Jersey, a community filled with wonderful families and friends. As a celebrity chef with over two decades on the Food Channel USA, I’ve built my career on the values of hospitality, professionalism, and integrity. Connecting with millions has taught me the importance of exceptional service, especially in a demanding profession like mine. Recently, I ventured into the world of car buying, which has its own set of challenges. After countless visits to various dealerships, I found a gem in Peter at Riverdale KIA! Even though I live on the Upper East Side in NYC, a single phone call with him convinced me that a 45-mile drive to Riverdale KIA was worth it for my new KIA K5 GT. From the moment I stepped onto the lot, I was welcomed with warm smiles and a genuine sense of belonging. It felt like being among friends! Peter and the team took the time to truly understand my needs, guiding me through a selection of vehicles that perfectly matched my preferences. Peter's extensive knowledge and passion for customer service transformed the entire process into an enjoyable, informative experience. What stood out most was the professionalism and integrity demonstrated by everyone at Riverdale KIA. Their transparency and commitment to customer satisfaction shone through in every interaction. It was clear that building lasting relationships was their priority, rather than just making a sale. Whenever I had questions or concerns, they addressed them patiently and thoroughly. Peter's unwavering dedication to ensuring my happiness made all the difference. He accommodated my schedule and made the paperwork process seamless. It’s evident that the entire organization genuinely cares about their customers. If you’re in the market for a vehicle, I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Riverdale KIA—an award-winning dealership! Be sure to seek out Big Pete; his expertise and friendly demeanor will guarantee you an outstanding car-buying experience. Thank you, Pete, for making this journey so enjoyable and memorable! As a token of my appreciation, I’ll be bringing a Kobe beef ribeye steak for Big Peter to enjoy. After all, it’s all about friendship! P.S. When you visit, keep an eye out for the spilled coffee at his desk! 😁☕️ Warm regards, Chef Gregory Adams
affordable, stylish, competative

Recomiendo su atención por la rapidez y el buen trato con el papeleo, no me intentaron vender más de lo que necesitaba, eso influyó mucho en mi compra!

The salesman, Johnny Brown, was very personable.
The salesman, Johnny Brown, was very personable. He didn't pressure us to do anything which was refreshing. The dealership, however, added approximately $4,000 to the price for miscellaneous fees (not including tax) which if very high in my opinion. We were able to come to an agreement, but feel we maybe should have paid a little less. The care needed a small touchup in two places and an A was missing from elantra . Still waiting for the "a" to arrive as well as touch-up paint.

Sansone Hyundai did the right thing.
Sansone Hyundai did the right thing. My son and I purchase a certified pre-owned 2022 Hyundai Tuscan on July 15,2024. During the courtesy oil and filter change in January 2024, the service technician indicated that all four tires needed to be replaced. Instead of reacting, a second opinion was sought that confirmed the tire tread was deteriorating or wearing. Noting that the vehicle mileages at purchase was approx. 23,000 miles and had approx. 27,600 miles in January, plus quality tires should last 50,000 to 60,000 miles assuming normal driving conditions, the tire condition seemed abnormal. Another fact was the second opinion revealed the tire’s manufacturing date in 2020, which also does not seem proper. Upon contacting Sales Manager, Operations Manager and Service, another set of tires were installed and aligned at no cost.
