Colton Biss was our sales rep, and he could not have been
Colton Biss was our sales rep, and he could not have been better! So friendly, professional, and competent. He was very knowledgeable about the car I ended up buying, and thorough as far as going thru the car’s features. He even made sure that I had his personal cell phone if I have follow-up questions about the car. I’d highly recommend Colton and Corwin dealership in Nampa!
One fine company
This car now has almost 170k miles.other than normal wear and tear and some recalls the car has been excellent. The real subject here is KIA . They have been a real stand up company. In my opinion KIA has had my back. KIA will be my next purchase

We recently bought a 2026 RAV4 from Auto National of Winter Park. The experience from start to finish was professional, smooth, and stress free. We got a fair price for our trade and Juancarlos went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied. Would definitely recommend!
Even if it’s used, buy one!
I’ve owned a 2012 Kia Optima EX GDi 2.4L engine. Hands down, best car I have ever driven! After 8 years of daily driving and 135,000 miles later, she still handles like the day I drove her off the dealership lot. Very comfortable leather interior, that even though is years old, has not one crack or tear! Shifts smoothly, brakes smoothly and still has some get up and go when I put my foot down. Very safe car- Prior to this I owned an ‘11 Optima EX that I got into an accident in. The side and front airbags left me unscathed! All in all, I’m glad I went with Kia. You can never go wrong with that Kia reliability!

I had the smoothest purchasing experience.
I had the smoothest purchasing experience. My wife and I came in looking for a new car for our growing family; thats what we found. Tommy and his team were amazing from the moment we walked in and when we walked out, keys in hand. 10/10 recommend. Honest and genuine customer service!
Best Car I have ever owned
Drives great, lots of leg room in the back seat. The ECO option is nice for improved fuel economy. Reliable, never had any issues with the car except the plastic molding along rear window. That came out by a loose screw. That is the only change I would change is hope they improve those chrome strips and logos on cars to hold that chrome look better. My logo chipped and is almost al black now.

My sister purchased a vehicle last night from Karen and
My sister purchased a vehicle last night from Karen and Sam. We had been looking for an SUV that met her wants for a few months. This was a very successful purchase! Karen and Sam made things comfortable, respectable, and we were successful in the purchase and the extended warranty purchase. It was awesome to watch them work with my sister to get her something she wanted and deserved.
Very reliable car
This car is very comfortable, performs well and is extremely reliable. I was very happy with my purchase of a Kia Optima. Would highly recommend to others.
