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

Preferred Purchase Perfection
I began looking for my third Frontier right after the holiday season ended. Took me a while, but I finally found the exact truck I had been looking for at Butler Nissan. It was on a Sunday that I called to ask about the truck advertised on their website, but they were closed. Luckily, they had a very ambitious young woman on their sales staff that answered the phone when it rang. Her name is Shaquanna Stewart, and she goes by the nickname "Peaches". Peaches met me in the parking lot the next morning, and the game was on... Only this time it was different...very different. I am a very well qualified buyer with excellent credit, and I told Peaches as much. She and the Sales Manager started out with numbers that were totally unacceptable, but they listened as I told them how much I was willing to pay for a new '23 model that they needed to sell and I was ready to buy...right now. If they didn't want to sell me a new truck, I'd go down the road and find some other dealer who would. After only a couple minutes of scribbled numbers on a piece of paper, the deal was done. No hassle, no ridiculous back and forth haggling, no insults to my intelligence. They were friendly, courteous professionals dealing with a new client in a business transaction. I totally respect that and appreciate how I was treated. I highly recommend Butler Nissan to anyone in the market for a new car, suv, or truck. I promise you, they'll treat you like you're their most important customer from the moment you arrive.
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!

Just a update regarding my last rating and review, after
Just a update regarding my last rating and review, after a meeting with the owner Ali Awada. He took care of me and paid for my car repair and gave me 100.00 for my family and I to have dinner. Thanks Colorado Auto Finders for doing your best to make things right for with me.
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.

Tipton Ford’s Service Department consistently
Tipton Ford’s Service Department consistently demonstrates a high standard of customer service excellence. The team is exceptionally kind, respectful, and genuinely committed to ensuring a positive customer experience from start to finish. Communication is clear and professional, expectations are managed effectively, and every interaction reflects a strong customer-first mindset. Their willingness to assist, attention to detail, and courteous approach instill confidence and trust throughout the service process. This experience stood in sharp contrast to a prior service encounter at another Ford dealership in Anderson, where my concerns regarding a recurring issue were handled dismissively, ultimately resulting in the loss of my business. Fortunately, discovering Tipton Ford restored my confidence in Ford service. A special acknowledgment is warranted for Mike and Katlin, whose professionalism, responsiveness, and customer-focused approach exemplify the values of the Service Department. They worked tirelessly to coordinate with my third-party insurance provider and successfully secure coverage for the necessary repairs. It is evident that customer satisfaction is a top priority, and the staff takes pride in delivering reliable, high-quality service. Tipton Ford’s Service Department is a clear example of professionalism and operational excellence.
