Used Kia Niro for Sale in Asheville, NC

We looked for about 6 weeks and spent hours at 7 different area dealerships. We were wanting to upgrade from the Kia Soul we had to something that would seat an extra person comfortably and had AWD and most importantly, something that would fit within our budget. We were very specific and upfront as to what we could afford. We had "fair" credit (634) and a fixed monthly budget. We went to Hyundai of Asheville because we had purchased most recently there. Horrible experience! Lots of young, wet-behind-the-ear staff. We were told in a very condescending manner that we had "unrealistic expectations" and that was after we were pressured into staying past the time we told them we couldn't do what they offered. We went to Kia and had a great experience with Ben Brendle, but weren't able to get an APR we were comfortable with financing. Brandon Braswell said he'd keep working on it. A couple weeks went by and we received a phone call saying that they had something for us. We returned to Paramount Kia and met Jodi Biltoten. We arrived about 6:00pm after my husband got off work. Jodi showed us an AWD 2015 Sorento with less than 25,000 miles and certified pre-owned. We test drove it and it was exactly we had been looking for - complete with optional third row seating for extra passengers. Jodi was very knowledgable and extremely helpful and SUPER nice. Brandon Braswell was able to take our Kia Soul in trade and worked with banks to get us an APR that was 2.0% less than what we'd been offered at the other dealerships! Jordan Ogle was very thorough with explaining our paperwork and answered all questions. We have been thrilled with our deal and new-to-us SUV. Thanks again for all your hard work, Jodi, Brandon, and Jordan. Especially since we were there until 11:00pm...3 hours after closing! Paramount Kia has the same great customer service and professionalism that they claim to have in their advertising.

When I first bought this car I needed to take it into a tire replacement place to have two new rear tires put on since it jumped all over the road at time. The cruise control has a mind of it's own and will not reset at the speed you set it at after breaking. I've almost completely lost power from the engine twice had to put it in neutral and pump the gas and after a time the engine kicked back in and it ran fine but when it did that the last time I was in the middle of a blizzard in Illinois and if it would have died WoW would I have been in trouble. Finally I went to open the rear passenger side door when I first got the car and the handle fell off the car I was on vacation at the time I was ablt to fit it back into it's place the dealership said Kie new of the problem but wouldn't fix it until they fell off the car? Well today 05-04-19 both passengers side door handles fell off in my hands have to take it back into the dealership on Tuesday to have them put new handles on the passenger side doors. You'd think that Kie would want this car to work perfectly? I do every time i take it into Bill Walsh Kie in Ottowa,Il.the mechanic's say they checked all of the above problems and why the power loss they haven't a clue or the fault in the cruise control either? Since new tires were put on the back the vehicle ride fine but wioth a car with less than 200 miles on it should you need new tires on the back end of it to make it track properly I don't think so. I love the gas mileage but am disgusted with these door handles falling off the vehicle looks like they attach them with pot metal or plastic whatever they are using they need to stop it and use a product where the handles stay on the car. I have own a lot of cars but this car has it's problems I half way think they need to replace the computer on this vehicle with the loss of power and the cruise control issue. If I ever get stranded Kie might just be hearing from my lawyers especially when I'm in the middle of a blizzard. Well there you have it Kie you need to engineer this car much better of fire those in charge of the design flaws in this car.....

Good customer service. Salesman met us on the sidewalk near front doors. Quickly got the specific vehicle I was interested in and arranged a test drive. Since I was only interested in the one vehicle and still comparison shopping they did not try to sell me something I had no interest in. Very much appreciated the way they handled my visit. I will return in future.

This is my 1st Hybrid. I like this car overall. I know it’s just a LX model, but I kinda wish it had a sunroof or moonroof. But it has Apple play, cruise control and it’s easy to function the radio and air conditioner while driving. I like the fact that I can hook my ApplePhone to the USB and I can automatically get Navigation.

Knowing we had to find a more efficient car, and the fact both our gas guzzlers were worn out, led us to Paramount. We gathered all the information we could and found the the Kia Soul was a great all around vehicle for active folks. Also my friend who doesn't like anything.....has a new Soul! We were very spoiled by everyone at the dealership and didn't have to do anything but sign on the line! Cool huh? Thank you Anthony and all for your great help! Love the car and who knows, I might get to drive it some day! Sincerely, Dale Corn.....🤗

The only thing is it's hesitant on starts from stopped. I think this should be expected though. Other then that it seems to be a great vehicle & the 100,000 mile warranty even covers the Battery on the electric motor.
