But either way, we have to say that we were pretty intrigued by the new Kia Niro concept vehicle – not just for its looks, but for what it could mean to the Kia lineup as well. Rumors seem to indicate that this vehicle could be a little more than a concept that comes and goes at the drop of a hat. Read the rest of this entry

The 2014 Kia Forte has been creating some big waves in its short time on the market. And this is no surprise, as the car has everything that consumers could want out of a small car.

Check out the comparison and see what you think! Read the rest of this entry

In fact, you might even be surprised by some of the deciding factors in this one. But, of course, you’ll have to read on for the full details. Read the rest of this entry
If you’re still thinking of Kia as a “cheap” brand, then apparently you’ve been out of touch for a while. The prices of Kia cars might still fit under the cheap category (although we prefer affordable), but the quality of the vehicles definitely does not. And since Kia has been pumping out quality cars for some time now, the used cars that are hitting dealerships now as trade-ins are also of high quality.
